One of, so far 3 lectures being delivered @college-de-france.fr by @neilshubin.bsky.social on our fish origins. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B6y... Wonderful flow, educational, inspirational. How we learn @ our ancestry. The origin of #walking. How we got our skeleton #MustWatch

More #gastruloid studies. Benchmarking correlations between RNA/proteins w/ acquiring information @ phosphorylation across #mouse & #human www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Also looking at #Disease modelling. Fantastic #TourDForce Valuable bench marking and insight @dschweppe.bsky.social #SCBEMs

@campaslab.bsky.social @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social labs use #gastruloids to explore axial extension in mammalian embryos www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... They find novel mechanisms involving and interplay of proliferation and mechanical constraining. #NotInTheGenes #CellsRUs

Looking forward to discussing why “genetics is not that simple” tomorrow in Lisboa. Thank you Fundacao Francisco Manues do Santos and GIMM for the opportunity ffms.pt/en/agenda/al... #NotInTheGenes #CellsRUs #Gastrulation

After all these years, It eventually got the frame it deserves. Respect 🪰

Na presentación do libro: “Las arquitectas de la vida” de @amartinezarias.bsky.social no IES Rosalía de Castro, con Manuel Vicente @efervesciencia.org #SEBC

Hoxe ás 17:00 na laboratorio de bioloxía do IES Rosalía de Castro de Santiago conversarei con @amartinezarias.bsky.social 🗣️ para presentar o seu libro "Las arquitectas de la vida" 📚. Non todo está nos xenes... senón nas células! A entrada é libre 🎟️. sebc2025.org/book-present...

Este martes 21/10 tendremos en Santiago de Compostela la presentación del libro: “Las arquitectas de la vida” de @amartinezarias.bsky.social en el IES Rosalía de Castro, con Manuel Vicente @efervesciencia.org como moderador: sebc2025.org/book-present...

My first lecture at the Collège de France @cdf1530 is up! In English... Three more to follow in the coming weeks. With thanks to @denisduboule.bsky.social for the invitation! 🙏🇫🇷 🐠 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B6y...

A protocol for the robust generation of human #gastruloids, an important optimization needed by the field. This is not only a #protocol but also a reasoning behind it and a study of the initial conditions www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#Gastrulation reloaded Thank you to @Jeromegros.bsky.social P. Tomancak, K. McDole, @Bensteventon.bsky.social L Solnica-krezel for a wonderful meeting to bring together @[email protected] a community whose work is growing in importance #CONGASTRULATIONS A bientot

Today our #cephalic #furrow #evolution story hits the shelves in the glossy journal form. How appropriate that it’s architects met in Paris. Missing @bruvellu.bsky.social but joined by #CF enthusiast Mateo Rauzi & @heisenbergcplab.bsky.social @yuchiunwang.bsky.social Steffen Lemke #mechanicsfirst

At Musee d'Orsay, with a legend of #gastrulation and #ConvergenceExtension #NotInTheGenes

Pascal (dans ses "Pensées") n'est pas raisonnable (pas scientifique) quand il dit que : "Nous aurions toujours intérêt à croire en Dieu car il y aurait tout à gagner si son existence était avérée et rien à perdre si ce n'était pas le cas". Mais bon ! il était de son temps.

Back in #Paris. Always inspiring. like @ Hotel Madrigal very much. Each room is named after a French scientist, thinker, writer. This time I get Blas Pascal. Love it! #Wagers #infinity

Always the same speakers… www.keystonesymposia.org/conferences/...

Lab’s 1st preprint! Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate. @cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation. He is on the job market!

A Palestinian, son of Palestinians displaced from Gaza (Al-Masmiyya) to Jordan, wins the Nobel Prize in Chemistry... Professor Omar Munis Yaghi from the University of Berkeley!! ..Some members of the Yaghi family are still under the rubble in Gaza!

John Gurdon en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gu..., beacon of a generation that tackled head on the deepest question of biology: the development of an organism. The best tribute to him and his peers should be to remember and follow the path they forged for how to do Science in form and content.

John Gurdon was a true giant: - founder of cell reprogramming; - founder of molecular embryology; - unabashed advocate for basic research; - advisor to numerous successful trainees/PIs; - gentle human that touched so many. In dark times with science under attack, let his vision be a guiding light.

Organizing time past, remembered this summary of many thoughts that I continue to pursue And nowhere rings more true that ‘the detail of pattern is the movement’ than in the actions of cells as they build #embryos www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbQV... #CellsRUs #MasterBuilder

Another record month for bioRxiv - and further evidence the pandemic spike+dip was just that and growth continues. Thanks to all involved and that includes 🫵

Today is a special day, some would call it the first of the rest of my life. I look forward to doing the same as before, from a different vantage point, trying to use what I have learnt to keep on learning. Thank you to all who have taught me. #NotInTheGenes #CellsRUs

In this intriguing paper published from the lab of @amartinezarias.bsky.social , they looked at the effects of size on morphology, tissue composition, and gene expression of gastruloid development. They found that AP elongation dynamics is size-dependent! Check it out here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...

Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Robert Edwards, #IVF pioneer and someone who, unknowingly, bridged #DevBio #Gynecology and Endocrinology in a highly successful manner.

#gastruloids by the shores of Lake Lehman, Lausanne 2017 The start of something @EPFL @geneticscam.bsky.social

Liked Netflix version of #IlGatopardo, a good interpretation of the book w/ much that measures well v Visconti’s original but the exception is Angelica who was and is Claudia Cardinale www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVS_...

Life and Science go on, with more freedom and time to enjoy the stations along the way V7.0s are robust

A privilege and delight to attend this meeting last week. A reminder that science, as well as development, is done by communities.

Are you interested on how regenerating tissues transit between stages? Am sharing here our work showing that during #Xenopus tail regeneration, tissue stiffening activates a Piezo1-Yap1 mechanosensitive cascade to allow wounded epithelia to transit into regenerative states!

THANK YOU for many years of friendship, support and for sharing your great Science La Pedrera #Barcelona #NotInTheGenes #CellsRUs #Cambridge

Marvellous send off for @amartinezarias.bsky.social ‘s lab, perfectly located in Gaudi’s La Pedrera. I took no pictures as I was too busy hugging old friends, but the organisers incl @dias-andre.bsky.social pulled off something rly special. Community in science is the real joy of the work we do! 💕

With the group that came together @upf.edu in #Barcelona, celebrating 5 years of exploring, dreaming and discovering. Grateful #NotInTheGenes #CellsRUs

With alumni and an ex head of Department of Genetics @cam.ac.uk @cahirokane.bsky.social

Very good to see so many old friends in #Barcelona. Grateful for the memories of much shared over the years.

But….#InNumbersWeTrust…most of the time

among the many excellent talks, the presentations by @nmoris.bsky.social & @denisduboule.bsky.social stood out for me

Having fun @amartinezarias.bsky.social party! 🙏🏻🎉💐 Great meeting #InHoxWeSortOfTrust

With old friends in #Barcelona

1/2 From Cambridge to Barcelona, five years that go very quickly with much to be grateful for

Beautiful story that combined mechanobiology, evolution, and the power of fly (opto)genetics to make sense of the cephalic furrow. It was a pleasure writing the News & Views. No doubt this is still just the beginning for the field of mechano-evo-devo! Hats off to all involved

YES! #NotInTheGenes #CellsRUs

Great to see this seminal work out
