It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of our founder, colleague, mentor and friend, Professor Sir John Gurdon. His vision and dedication will continue to inspire generations of scientists. 🔗 www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/nobel-laurea...

With deep sadness, we share that Prof. Jochen Guck, Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light passed away on October 3. His visionary work bridged physics and medicine. We have lost a brilliant scientist and dear friend. mpl.mpg.de/news/article... @fau.de 📸 Stephan Spangenberg

Pleasure to announce the program of my new series of lectures at the College de France in Nov-Dec. Continuing on the theme of Biological information. I will focus on the computational aspects, building on David Marr's tri-level of analysis in biological systems. YouTube link sent when it starts.

Latest from ours: www.cell.com/cell-reports... This is two stories in one: a case study/cautionary tale on developing genetic tools in new organisms, and the first hint at a gene regulatory network for choanoflagellate multicellular development (which turn out to involve a Hippo/YAP/ECM loop!) A 🧵

🔥 En 1523, la Sorbonne interdit… l’enseignement du grec ! Scandale pour les érudits. Guillaume Budé convainc alors François Ier de fonder un collège libre : le Collège de France. 🔥 Sa fière statue de marbre trône aujourd’hui face à la Sorbonne, comme un défi lancé au conformisme académique. #JEP2025

For last 10 years - we have worked with thousands of organizations around the world helping support them in integrating foldscope programs. To bring in a new cohort of organizations - we are re-launching “fast and curious” 2025 edition - apply and get a Foldscope trainer and Foldscopes for free!

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

Paris 🇫🇷

Exciting day for @crick.ac.uk today: Edith Heard takes over as Director We're looking forward to this new chapter in the story www.crick.ac.uk/about-us/lea...

Japanese sunset in Bretagne 🤩

Very promising news on the next seven-year EU budget, with a proposed substantial increase for Horizon Europe including the ERC. We are analysing the other parts of this proposal in more detail. @Vonderleyen @EZaharievaEU research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/news/all-res...

🕘 Retour sur l'année du Collège de France !  🙏 Qu’est-ce que l’information #biologique ? Dans son cours, le Pr @thomaslecuit.bsky.social mêle sciences biologiques, physiques et computationnelles pour comprendre la morphogenèse. 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/kyovixjugn

(1/10) I am excited to finally share our work on avian left/right symmetry breaking with you. We reveal a tissue-scale active torque dipole generated at the Hensen’s node, thanks to crazy experiments by Julia @juliapfanzelter.bsky.social and some analysis by me. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Patrick Breier and Claire Bertet doing some stretching…

Marseille MUCEM and Cassis Cape Canaille 🤩

Congratulations to all the new members! 👏👏👏

🥇Sham Tlili has been awarded the CNRS 2025 Bronze Medal! She studies how physical forces shape living tissues by using mouse stem cell models known as gastruloids. A unique blend of physics & biology. 🔗 Read more: www.ibdm.univ-amu.fr/sham-tlili-w...

Symposium @crick.ac.uk today celebrating the life of David Ish-Horowicz. Much missed dear colleague and friend.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

This was a truly exciting talk! 🤩. Physical-chemistry of signalling at its best: T cell receptor signalling is really amazing in terms of precision and sensitivity. Kinetic proofreading, kinetic phase transition and amplification. Thank you for visiting us 🙏🏼

At #ShapingLife3 conference with Mounia @laghalab.bsky.social, my first summer intern 22 or 23 years ago 😎. Cap Canaille in background.

# ShapingLife3

Exciting science in Cassis in a wonderful location! 🤩 Group discussions on carrier development with students, postdocs, Jean-Léon Maître & Bruno Hudry by the sea… 🌊😎☀️

These are fantastic talks! What a fun and inspiring break from paper writing this week. Thank you for posting.

The talks from the symposium on Information processing at the Collège de France are also available on the Youtube channel. Link to the 1st Talk here, others easy to find: tinyurl.com/2emnr8rh Talks were really inspirational and prompted exciting discussions among participants and speakers Enjoy 🤩

This was a truly exciting talk from Aurelien Roux @rouxlab.bsky.social from Univ. Geneva 👏👏. From his landmark work on membranes to tissues now, the continuing theme is the role of geometry, topology and curvature in morphogenesis. Thanks for visiting us 🤩

New preprint from the lab! 👇

Second preprint from the lab in a week! This time led by Aurelien. Combining live imaging, quantitative image analysis and perturbations, he clarifies the mechanisms leading to primitive induction. 👇

Many cells during development are exposed to caspase activation and yet survive. Why some die and not others ? We found out that the memory of previous caspase activation bias significantly later death comitment and bias death distribution and single cell decision www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Experimental embryology postdoc available in my lab at the @biology.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk working on the evolution of vertebral counts. Reach out if you’re passionate about EvoDevo, enjoy lab work and microscopy and are into or could get into cichlid fishes. Deadline on the 16th June. Please share!

It was also a very good time for discussions in nice restaurants and bars 😊

The symposium at the College de France yesterday on Biological information was wonderful. High level presentations and discussions among speakers and participants. Videos will be online soon!🤩 Huge thanks to the speakers 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Our field has lost an amazing scientist, mentor, and old friend. Benny, along with Mike Hoffman, had a brilliant idea in the early 1980s. The first oncogenes were being cloned and they realized if we wanted to understand their roles in cancer, we needed to understand their normal function 1/n 🧪

Please RT. If you are in Paris, see announcement of 4 lectures by @stephenquake.bsky.social at @collegedefrance.bsky.social on « Understanding the mysteries of the cell », hosted by colleagues Edith Heard, Hugues de Thé and myself. The 1st two will be on 12 and 26 May, all info below. See you there!

🟣 L’Administrateur, l’Assemblée des professeurs et toute la communauté du Collège de France apprennent avec une profonde tristesse le décès de Xavier Le Pichon, professeur émérite du Collège de France, titulaire de la chaire de #Géodynamique (1986-2008).

⭐️ Please Fwd. Are you in Paris on 16th May? See👇 poster of symposium on « Information processing in biological systems » @collegedefrance.bsky.social Fantastic line of speakers 🤩. It is free, w/o registration, and it will be exciting.m! Follows from my series of lectures at CdF last fall.

Shocking: a pioneer in quantitative developmental biology passed... one of my all-time heroes! He had a dominant influence on many in the early 2000s when this field started to take off. What a loss! Obituary written by two of his former students: biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/john-re...

Happy hour @centuri-ls.bsky.social attracted a lot of us today…! 🤩

🔔🧪 I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Sheetz, a true pioneer in #mechanobiology. I'll always cherish our lovely times in NYC, Singapore, Zurich, and Sydney. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time. So long, Mike 🥺😔

@academiesciences.bsky.social Une bonne occasion de prendre la parole…!

📣Exciting meeting ahead! Join us next June in beautiful Cassis for #ShapingLife3! www.atoutcom.com/shaping-life/ @justinmcrocker.bsky.social @mhverlhac.bsky.social @guignardlab.bsky.social @bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social @dudinlab.bsky.social @flowerwhatelse.bsky.social @sfbd.bsky.social
