Dress like your data like @timonnk.bsky.social does!

Thanks to @agudocanalejo.bsky.social and @raovutukuri.bsky.social [amongst the first ones to observe large fluctuations in GUVs!] for today's News and Views about our recent paper on active vesicle deformations - and I agree with the conclusion, it's just a beginning..! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Grande Gianni!

The Schaeffer magnum opus is out. 🔥

As always with @lauraal.bsky.social , the pleasrue is all mine ☺️ - thanks @crpp-bordeaux.bsky.social for the nice hospitality

Registration has started for the conference "Emerging Trends in the Physics of the Cell" in memoriam of Erich Sackmann at TU Munich from October 15-18 2025 www.cpa.tum.de/cpa/conferen...

Interesting read. Some problems are just weirder than you'd say.

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base! and they want to do it ... ... in *a few months* I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ... ... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here 1/9

I am very happy to share that my work on active deformations of lipid vesicles is finally out in Nature Physics. A nicer thread+movies coming soon, in the meantime: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thx to Andreas, Hammad, Dmitry, Gerhard @laynefrechette.bsky.social and everybody else who contributed!

We are organizing a conference for young researchers at the intersection between physics & biology: www.embl.org/about/info/c... @embl.org @events.embl.org @intcha.bsky.social Please consider applying/registering -- the deadline is already in one week!

New preprint out 🔥🔥 on my postdoc work with @manuelthery.bsky.social and @lblanchoin.bsky.social about how we can create sustained dynamic steady states of actin network inside microscopic wells that contract "forever" without collapsing! A thread 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It's the time of the year when I make a Christmas themed experiment to celebrate another year gone by: this year, a micropatterned branched actin network with myosin, aka a Christmarp(2/3) tree, doing weird stuff. Happy holidays Bluesky! 🥳🥳🥳

What an end of the week! It is refreshing to catch up with friends and exchange exciting science! Thanks to @asciortino.bsky.social and Sophie Marbach for showing me around your labs #InstitutePierreGillesGennes and @sorbonne-universite.fr respectively! Gotta love Paris with this company!

I met Taeyoon a long time ago and his simulations are so life-like.. happy I could contribute a very very little bit to this work now on biorxiv, on gliding assays with mobile motors. Kudos to him & Brandon. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

There you go, the full story by @manuelthery.bsky.social and remember "life is fluid on lipids"! Stay tuned, this system has many more surprises ready for you! 🤗🤗🤗 🙏🙏 thx to @lblanchoin.bsky.social @bhagyanaths.bsky.social and to afaik Bsky-less clo, sudipta, JF, alex and jerem!

Inaugurating my Bsky experience by sharing my favorite project so far, on which I had the big chance to collaborate, out now on @pnas.org . I am sure @manuelthery.bsky.social has a lot to say about it, so let me just congratulate Clo, @bhagyanaths.bsky.social et al. for it! bit.ly/49aE6Cz More soon!

Couldn't find one so made a quick physics of life list, enjoy! go.bsky.app/EA2VsDN

I am here since 5 minutes and I already miss all the Elon tweets 🙃
