The @vbcscitraining.bsky.social is looking a PhD Program Manager! Needless to say this is an incredible important position. So please apply if you want to help us find, recruit and train the next generation of scientists! RT appreciated!

I am extremely excited that my first first-author paper from my PhD is finally out 😆!! We developed a new CLEM workflow to measure lipid densities at the nanoscale. So if you are into lipids and super-resolution imaging approaches, this one is for you: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🎉 Very happy, stoked & honored to have been awarded an @hfspo.bsky.social Research Program Grant for a dream project conceived w/ Eric Glowacki @ceitec.eu & @bernasozen.bsky.social 🥳 Thanks @hfspo.bsky.social for funding bold ideas & projects that aim to push across boundaries 🙏 #stuffthatmatters

Happy to share the heroic effort of @gaellel.bsky.social to reduce our segmentation pain through EpiCure (Epithelial Curation), a napari plugin easing the curation of epithelial segmentation developed with several groups of @devstempasteur.bsky.social. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... See more 👇

Delighted to introduce KELPE: mESCs with two insulated genomic landing pads, which we use to generate new synNotch and PUFFFIN neighbour-labelling lines. They were named after kelpies, creatures from Scottish folklore, and they look pretty on a kelpie micropattern! #DevBio #SynBio

Very happy to announce that I will be joining the Faculty of Biology & @cibss.bsky.social at @uni-freiburg.de as an Emmy-Noether funded group leader. We will tackle the molecular and genetic basis of developmental timing and size control using diverse Oryzias species. We are hiring at all levels !

Certain cancers are described as “glutamine addicted”. But how does this addiction arise, and how do tumors manage to bypass it? I am excited to share that the results of my postdoctoral work are finally published in @cp-molcell.bsky.social! tinyurl.com/hs7ep5sa 👇 Check the thread for more!

We are very excited for the next Zoom seminar of Metabolism in Development & Physiology! 12th of March, 3pm CET/ 2pm GMT/ 9am EST Our speakers are: Kathryn Wellen (University of Pennsylvania) Saraswathi Pillai (Columbia University) Sign up to get the Zoom link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Final version @nature.com of our paper describing unconventional multicellular development in a choanoflagellate inhabiting an extreme environment. A ton of new data since the first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint (which we've kept updating). A brief 🧵 (carried over from the old place)

We summarised the many roles of material phase transitions in development (and they are not just mechanical 🤔)

I’m thrilled to share that I will join @gustaveroussy.fr as a Group Leader! Our objective: to understand how mechanochemical feedbacks regulate tumor dynamics and plasticity, with the overarching goal of bridging tissue mechanobiology and tumor pathophysiology using human organoids.

Development builds... But it also breaks! Planarians split to reproduce. Hydra tears open a mouth. Embryos fracture to make cavities. Failure? No. Fracture is essential to development. Our new review on fracture physics and its uses in development: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
