We have a fully funded 3y postdoc position open!!!! Come join us @mpi-cbg.de and @poldresden.bsky.social to understand the role of Membranes in Controlling Biogenic Crystallization :) this is part of our #HFSP funded project with @noemijimenezrojo.bsky.social and @vmonje.bsky.social! Applications👇

Hot off the press!!! Proudly presenting our lab's new review on how do cells communicate to control organ size :) We focus specially on dynamic connections that operate at different timescales to regulate organ growth and morphogenesis. #devbio #SizeandShape www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out @jalehtimaki.bsky.social and @nordenlab.bsky.social super cool latest work! We always wondered how horizontal cells "know" where to go despite lacking attachments. Turns out they need guidance cues from two different cell types... horizontal cells are the most social cells in the eye!

Behind many scientists is a lifetime of invisible, unsustainable costs. From unpaid internships to underpaid postdocs, the economic toll of a STEM career is staggering—and it's pushing talent out. My new perspective explores this crisis. #STEM #AcademicBlueSky journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A reminder in these hard times. #sciencestrong

Thirty-six institute staff members in nine tems participated in the REWE Team Challenge Dresden on Wednesday evening, May 28. Congratulations to all participants! 🎉 www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

So much fun and Fishful Thinking while running 5km 😊🏃‍♀️ #ReweTeamChallenge2025 @mpi-cbg.de @poldresden.bsky.social

Great quantitative tools for small molecules and ions concentrations and dynamics, developed together with the @nadlerlab.bsky.social! And it is always great to collaborate with friends @sascha-kuhn.bsky.social :)

Yes, that is me, for those who did not yet know. This was not planned but I am very happy to go 'home' even though I will miss a lot about Portugal. If you still want to visit, hurry, otherwise see you in Cambridge. If you want to know more contact me directly. www.pdn.cam.ac.uk/news/dr-care...

How can organs regenerate fast? Bioelectricity helps -- by coupling sub-second electrical injury signals to regenerative proliferation. First preprint from my potsdoc :D with @liujinghui.bsky.social @ritamateus.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de and collaborators @mpipks.bsky.social @csbdresden.bsky.social

Had a wonderful time at the Physics of Life Conference in Harrogate, UK with lots of great science and insightful talks like the one from @nerlielisa.bsky.social Thanks @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social for organizing and the poster price :-)

Felicissima di far parte di questo progetto con le scuole! #womeninstem #science

"Cacio e pepe" physics: In arxiv.org/abs/2501.00536v1, eight Italian scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems explain the physics behind a perfect dish of "cacio e pepe" and how to eschew the dreaded "mozzarella phase" - work featured @nytimes.com.

So happy to see that one of my favourite microscopy images from my PhD in the @nordenlab.bsky.social is the screensaver and desktop image of the computers in the @gimmfoundation.bsky.social microcopy facility :) Is this the eye of Sauron or the eye of Caren?
