#DBfeature A low-cost, high-throughput pipeline for 3D imaging of embryonic mouse hearts using lightsheet microscopy By Xiangyang Liu, Jianfeng Wang, Youshi Chen, Hongjun Shi tinyurl.com/yc46asz2

A fascinating conversation between Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens on Alan Turing’s last theory: morphogenesis. They discuss his 1952 idea that simple chemical interactions can explain how structure emerges in nature. One of the most elegant insights into complexity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fugw...

Amazing exchanges in Paris Institut Biologie Paris Seine with @martingiurfa.bsky.social, Sylvie schneider Maunoury and all the scientists. What a pleasure it is to be able to combine my commitments to science and to women in Science! Science is beautiful. 🙏 Demo team, you are fantastic.

Here they are, the true stars of this amazing show we could live for 3 days (well, 2 🙏). Awesome job guys !

Congrats to the amazing organizers Julie Batut et al. (I don’t have all the names unfortunately Guy Malkinson Anabela Bensimon Brito etc…) So cool to see so many familiar and new faces !
