#shapinglife3 was a great @sfbd.bsky.social meeting! Here's my short post on @the-node.bsky.social about it :)

Thanks @girishkalephd.bsky.social for this nice report on #ShapingLife3 It was a pleasure to meet and listen to you there! @the-node.bsky.social @biologists.bsky.social @sfbd.bsky.social @ibdm.bsky.social

On the Shape of Life: meeting report, SFBD meeting 2025 Girish Kale @girishkalephd.bsky.social wrote about his experience attending #ShapingLife3, the @sfbd.bsky.social meeting, which took place in the picturesque town of Cassis: thenode.biologists.com/on-the-shape...

Bravo to the poster and best talk winners @sfbd.bsky.social #ShapingLife3: 3 PhD students: Romain Giromini, Étienne Poidomani and Noemi Zollo

This @sfbd.bsky.social conference had also an #outreach event in primary schools coordinated by @maevalux.bsky.social and 11 volunteers.

The amazing organization team of #ShapingLife3 meeting of @sfbd.bsky.social in sunny Cassis! Thanks to the great scientists for sharing their passion for embryos, and the beauty of life ! @maitrejl.bsky.social @cedricmaurange.bsky.social @maevalux.bsky.social @ibdm.bsky.social and others

A big thanks to the @sfbd.bsky.social , @maitrejl.bsky.social & @embo.org YIP for what has been a very sunny & exciting #DevBio + beautiful hikes around #Cassis. & now everyone in there knows about #Ichthyosporea & #Expansion #Microscopy Which is a big ➕️ #ShapingLife3

End of the #shapinglife3 meeting, full of cool #developmentalBiology. Thanks to all of the organizers for putting together a fantastic program. I hope to come back for the next iteration. Keeping fingers crossed for similar location (building on the left was the meeting venue) @sfbd.bsky.social

Cycling isn’t just good for your health – It’s good for the planet, our cities, and the economy. ✔️ Over 92,000 km of EuroVelo cycling routes across Europe ✔️ Nearly 10 million bicycles produced yearly in the EU ✔️ 1.35 million jobs supported by the EU cycling sector

New method drop: HCR-Proxy, a modular proximity labelling approach to profile local proteome composition around RNA at nanoscale, subcompartmental resolution. Thereby we resolved nested nucleolar layers and uncovered the grammar of spatial protein partitioning. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
