The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide. It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International. No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.

Italian supermarket chain Coop Alleanza removes Israeli goods from its shelves, in a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the Palestinian people, and starts selling Gaza Cola.

Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury. www.nature.com/articles/s41... A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka. 🧵1/14

I just want to remind people that Israel is intentionally starving Palestinians in Gaza and the whole world is watching in silence

I feel like we're not fully appreciating how terrifying this is.

The evolution of shape diversity through the lens of physics—explored in our new paper! A fruitful collaboration between our lab @EMBL, Salbreux’s lab @unige & others, led by @BailleulRichar1—now independent at @ENS_ULM—& Nicolas Cuny. bit.ly/3WRqdEa

The comic that got us demonetised on Facebook back in August. (We’re no longer on Facebook).

In light of Greenland/ Panama Canal/ Canada & especially the Gulf of Mexico, I figured it was time to repost this classic Doonesbury.

Regulation matters

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ta...

Our latest: how to generate the notochord "Timely TGFβ signalling inhibition induces notochord" A thread: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of the most surprising lessons for me during my 30 years of doing science is how it's essentially impossible predict what major scientific breakthroughs will emerge or where they will emerge from. But the way we fund science is mostly based on the assumption that we can make such predictions.

I tried with my recent paper and it is really 🤯

what a dynamic steady state! how does assembly match exactly the disassembly rate? how does it distribute in space without rupturing the cell in multiple pieces? fascinating movie!

Let's talk about the cross-eyed king of regeneration, the planaria. A single organism can be cut into 279 pieces, and after a few weeks, you'll have 279 new planarians (take that, Ship of Theseus!). Their Wolverine-like powers come from "neoblasts", specialized stem cells...

First post on bsky! We indented and punctured hydrogels to measure how plasticity correlates with cell health and movement. Lower puncture force and yield strength could set a new benchmark for bioink design and promote cell compatibility in 3D culture. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
