Jonathan Slack is Emeritus Professor at the University of Bath. His research interests have included early development of the Xenopus embryo, regeneration of limbs and tails, and attempts to reprogramme other cell types to β cells. In September 2023, Jonathan was awarded the 2023 British Society for Developmental Biology Wolpert Medal, which recognizes an outstanding individual who has made major contributions to the teaching and communication of developmental biology in the UK. We chatted to Jonathan at the European Developmental Biology Congress, where he was presented with the medal, to find out more about his career and his experience writing textbooks and the 'A Very Short Introduction' books on stem cells and genes.
乔纳森·斯莱克（Jonathan Slack）是巴斯大学的名誉教授。他的研究兴趣包括非洲爪蟾胚胎的早期发育、肢体和尾巴的再生，以及尝试将其他细胞类型重新编程为β细胞。2023 年 9 月，乔纳森获得了 2023 年英国发育生物学学会沃尔珀特奖章，该奖项旨在表彰为英国发育生物学的教学和传播做出重大贡献的杰出个人。在欧洲发育生物学大会上，我们与乔纳森进行了交谈，他在会上获得了该奖章，以进一步了解他的职业生涯以及他在编写教科书和关于干细胞和基因的“非常短的介绍”书籍方面的经验。
