Tenure-track faculty position at all levels in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence for Mechanical Engineering at Hopkins. APPLY :) apply.interfolio.com/175773

Last chance to tell the NIH if you think animal models are important for biomedical research! 👇👇👇👇

Excited to grow our team! The Tissue Morpho and Mechanics Lab at Hopkins is seeking a full-time Lab Technologist (50% lab tech + 20% lab manager + 30% scientist) to support our research in developmental biology and biomechanics 🐸🖖🔬🧪🫵. Great opportunity to be part of a vibrant and curious group.

What a fantastic essay by last year's @mblscience.bsky.social Embryology students! A perfect paean to the most wonderful science: "It's exhausting; it's exhilarating; it's Embryology." journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Hi everyone! I'm offering a new course, Introduction to Mechanobiology, for upper-level undergraduates and new graduate students in engineering. I'm seeking a textbook and resources for teaching. If you've taught a similar course or have recommendations, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

MSK's Dr. Alexandra Joyner is hanging up her lab coat following an illustrious 40-plus-year career. When asked what advice she has for new scientists, she shares: "You have to decide: Why are you going into this career? And then you have to stay true to that." Learn more about her legacy & impact ⬇️

Stoked to present our latest, superbly led by Chris et al & @torres-sanchez.bsky.social We tackled a fundamental problem – how tissues are patterned during development – found that geometry-constrained ECM fractures pattern the myocardium in the vertebrate heart 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interaction between two cells is necessary and sufficient to initiate PCP sorting😀, as shown by Lena P. Basta, Bradley W. Joyce, Dr. Eszter Posfai @eposfai.bsky.social , and Dr. Danelle Devenport. Here is the article. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

R.I.P.... Dr. Michael Sheetz was a pioneer in mechanobiology. The review paper by Dr. Viola Vogel and Dr. Sheetz, published in 2006, was one of the first review articles I read when I started my Ph.D.

X. Mess Party fires on to celebrate the end of the first semester! Thank you all for your commitments to do the hard work!!!

Applications open for a new cohort of @dev-journal.bsky.social *Pathway to Independence* fellows Know a #devbio post-doc about to enter the academic job market? Would they benefit from a little support & mentoring? Spread the word Deadline 31 Jan 2025 journals.biologists.com/dev/pages/pi...

Our IOS Virtual Office Hour this month is on what to do post-review with your individual reviews, panel summary & Program Officer comments. December 19th from 1-2pm ET. We'll share valuable info for anyone about the merit review process. See you there! iosblog.nsfbio.com/2024/12/04/d...

If you're searching for the Mechanobiology community and starter pack, here it is: Thought this would be a great opportunity to gather the #mechanobiology community. Please feel free to spread the word. go.bsky.app/G5cQqYT

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/PB6s8PQ

Follow and spread the word please🐸🪰🐟🐭🪱🦋🐙🏄‍♀️🔬🌱🦠🥣🐣

To mark Black Friday, we are excited to share our latest work, "Planar polarized force propagation integrates cell behavior with tissue shaping during convergent extension." Now online in Current Biology. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kATd3QW8S...

Since I have so many new friends 😄, I thought I'd advertise this. Together with @pritiagarwal.bsky.social and Lance Davidson, we run a Developmental Mechanics seminar series on Zoom (originally started by Ronen Zaidel-Bar). This coming Thursday, we have our last session for 2024. Join us!!

Registration is open for a Symposium on “Cells and Embryos: #NotInTheGenes” in La Pedrera, Barcelona. 18/19 of September 2025. Attendance is free but you need to register shorturl.at/77Wqn Stembryo lab @UPFbiomed @ERC_Research

Please reach out to me if you are interested in this position.
