Abstract: The invitation to contribute to the Reflections series in the Journal of Biological Chemistry is an honor that I greatly appreciate. It is humbling to find oneself in such distinguished company and a challenge to the literary limitations reflected all too obviously in the scientific writing I usually engage in. What I would like to do is to describe my own professional path in the context of the evolution of the field. In this I would like to focus on the story of how embryology, after joining forces with biochemistry and molecular biology, became to be usually called developmental biology and how the focus of my work and that of much of the field revolved around differential gene expression in different cell types, tissues, and developmental stages.
