Excited to present my PhD work on Preventing tissue collisions: divergent strategies during fly gastrulation tomorrow (Thursday) at 10AM ET (9AM Chicago, 3PM London, 4PM Madrid) on the International Developmental Mechanics Zoom Series. Tune in, if you are interested in mechanics and evolution 🪰⚙️🔬

🚨 The International Developmental Mechanics Zoom Seminar Series is back on Sept 25! 🎤 We have an exciting line-up of speakers this fall. See the image below for details 🌐 Website: sites.google.com/view/devmech... 📝 Interested in presenting? Sign up here: tinyurl.com/2munv5bv

Forgot to tag @verenakaul.bsky.social. Verena’s following up on this brand new discovery of out of plane division, linking cell biology, tissue mechanics to evolution with Steffen. Stay tuned!

The group of former COS PI Steffen Lemke reveals mechanisms of mechanical stress management during fly gastrulation: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Neue Studie von #UniHohenheim in #Nature: Fliegenembryonen nutzen raffinierte Strategien, um gefährliche Gewebespannungen auszugleichen. Mechanische Kräfte könnten damit ein Treiber der #Evolution sein. @springernature.com Mehr dazu: t1p.de/7qth2

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

Tissue 'tectonic' collision is detrimental, but flies found two distinct solutions! Gratifying and grateful to be included in this collective effort, w/ Steffen Lemke, to crack the (or 'a') code of #cephalicfurrow, now out in @nature.com, all with @paveltomancak.bsky.social at the helm. (1/9)
