Sea Urchins and Sea Slugs

Amazing new technologies in developmental biology and genetics
research are allowing scientists to begin to answer long standing
questions such as – how does a single fertilized egg cell transform
into a complex animal? Why does the embryo of a marine organism
like a sea slug develop differently from that of a sea urchin? Join
Scripps Developmental Biologist Deirdre Lyons as she describes how
she and her colleagues are pushing the limits of our knowledge to
understand these intriguing questions and the long history and
diversity of life on our planet. Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham
