Thrilled to see this new preprint from Rupprecht lab out — happy I could contribute with my rotating rings. May the science keep spinning. 🔄✨

PhD offer with Nico Waisbord on active-mat. extreme-event statistics & ecology: magnetotactic bacteria live in sediments, what’s the advantage of magnetotaxis there? Come test how it boosts bacterial dispersal and how the first bacterium seeds a colony[More info](www.normalesup.org/~rupprecht/p...)

Dans un travail publié dans le European Physical Journal Special Topics (EPJ-ST), des théoriciens d’Aix Marseille Université, de l’Institut Max Planck (Dresde) et de l’Institut Curie (Paris) développent une théorie générique qui décrit l’évolution temporelle des smectiques actifs. ⤵️

I'll be reaching Sète for the AQV conference tonight. Don't hesitate to ask me for these :)

🔔🧪 I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Sheetz, a true pioneer in #mechanobiology. I'll always cherish our lovely times in NYC, Singapore, Zurich, and Sydney. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time. So long, Mike 🥺😔

The Munro (Chicago), Lenne and Rupprecht (Marseille) groups seek 2-3 postdoctoral fellows to join a newly funded (NSF/ANR) international collaboration on the multiscale dynamics of cell contact formation and remodeling.
