Biophysicist/Developmental biologist. Postdoc @MPI-CBG, Tomancak lab, working on Hydra. She/her.
pinned post!
Very happy that the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab is now published @PNAS!

Do not miss this amazing conference! And if you are interested in mechanical forces in Evo-Devo, there is a symposium for you!

Great essay on a timeless question! "The complexity of life is not pre-encoded in the genome, but emerges through development in a way that is not fully captured by the mechanical metaphors of blueprints and computer codes".

The genome isn't a blueprint. But what is it? I originally imagined this as a reported feature on metaphors of the genome, but it ended up being an essay. And at the end I share the metaphor I personally ended up landing on. If you want to tell me why it is wrong, you'll need to read the story ;)🧪

Congratulations
@philipschoene.bsky.social
on defending his Master’s thesis on the supremacy of mechanics in Hydra regeneration from aggregates of dissociated cells. Expertly guided by

Thanks a lot to
@elisecutts.bsky.social
for nicely highlighting and putting in context our article! It was very interesting to discuss together, notably about the analogies between the emergence of order in Hydra and other physical phenomena.
