Great stuff, such a rich intellectual tradition in embryology. The question is, how can we couple these detailed lineages with modern networking tools to best effect? Alethea -

Cf. http://www.ijdb.ehu.es/web/contents.php?vol=49&issue=2-3 - and of course there are myriad other examples. You are quite right that in real life, this works as a social network - both for finding postdocs and recommendations, and for reagents, and for collaborations.
