MAPHEUS16 rocket is almost ready! 🚀 🦠We have 2 experiments #Nymex & #Vesicolos, where we study #lipidvesicles in ugravity. Previous results showed unexpected behavior. Hopefully, we can complete the story in this campaign. @dlr-de.bsky.social @univbordeaux.bsky.social

We’re back in Kiruna for the #MAPHEUS16 #Microgravity campaign 🚀 #SoftMatter This time we’re flying two experiments on giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). #NyMEx #VESICOLOS @crpp-bordeaux.bsky.social @univbordeaux.bsky.social @dlr-en.bsky.social

Great week at #ISMC2025 in Crete 🇬🇷! First conf for us as @softbiocol.bsky.social group, presenting talks, posters & bringing home 2 #PosterPrizes 🏆. Honored to give a #Keynote on #JanusActiveVesicles 🧫. Thanks to the organizers & great to see friends from #ETHZürich! #SoftMatter #ActiveMatter

I take enormous pleasure interacting with this stimulating community and sharing our experimental designs of bioinspired out of equilibrium systems. Many thanks to Rosalba, Matteo and Alessandro for putting together the workshop, and inviting me to present.

An army of crocheted GUVs just joined the group! Emotional support for tough vesicle experiments. We know working with GUVs can be non-trivial. The backup is welcome ;) Thanks, Ana Cazorla, for this thoughtful present! Amazing student ideas! #SoftMatter #LabLife #lipidvesicles

It's a pleasure to formally be part of the lab. For many more years of good science & fun! An amazing place to be!🥳 Congrats also to @auroredupin.bsky.social for the CNRS position. So great to have you with us @crpp-bordeaux.bsky.social @univbordeaux.bsky.social www.crpp.cnrs.fr/nos-deux-rec...
