Very happy to announce that I will be joining the Faculty of Biology & @cibss.bsky.social at @uni-freiburg.de as an Emmy-Noether funded group leader.
We will tackle the molecular and genetic basis of developmental timing and size control using diverse Oryzias species. We are hiring at all levels !
Abstract submission deadline alert for #EESBioOsc!
If you are interested in learning about oscillatory phenomena and biological dynamics across a wide range of fields, you should join the EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Biological oscillators' 📥 Submit abstract by 6 January: https://s.embl.org/ees26-04-bl
🔬 The next international Developmental Biology course, organized by Institut Curie with @sorbonne-universite.fr, will focus on "From stem #cells to #morphogenesis".

We cannot believe the DB unit summer school "Transitions in developing systems: from theory to experiments" has already come to an end. A huge thank you to all the organisers, speakers, and trainers for making it such an exciting and inspiring course #EMBLDevBio @dev-journal.bsky.social
For many people (me included) writing is thinking
If you're not thinking you're just the pretty front (wo)man in the band
Do you want to be Noel or Liam?

Time for a new practical at the DB unit summer school @embl.org ! This session features the sea anemone Nematostella and explores the larva-to-polyp transition driven by neuropeptide signaling. Thanks to the Ikmi group @aikmi.bsky.social 🤩 #EMBLDevBio
Day 6 of the DB Unit Summer School at EMBL started with an insightful lecture by Caren Norden @nordenlab.bsky.social on the impact of nuclear properties on the behaviour of Zebrafish retinal neuroepithelia. #EMBLDevBio
Super excited to share our new selection-free CRISPR-Cas9 editing protocol for Dictyostelids, generating 80% KO and 30% KI efficiencies without selection in D. discoideum, and being effective in Dictyostelid species that diverged millions of years ago! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Day 1 of the DB Unit Summer School: 'Transitions in Developing Systems: From Theory to Experiments'.
We are delighted to welcome all participants! Stay tuned for updates.

The DB Unit Summer School, "Transitions in Developing Systems," kicked off with an incredible talk by Thibaut Brunet @thibautbrunet.bsky.social from the Pasteur Institute @pasteur.fr on the fascinating transition from unicellularity to multicellularity in choanoflagellates #EMBLDevBio
At the DB Unit Summer School, it's already time for Practical 1!
Participants are exploring the theory of phase transitions, critical points, and bifurcations with James Briscoe @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social and Isabella Graf @isabellagraf.bsky.social and her group members @lwuerthner.bsky.social
Day 2 of the DB Unit Summer School has now finished.
We had fantastic talks from Iain Cousin #collectivebehaviour and Karen Alim #physicsofbehaviour, along with an exciting practical session from the van Gestel group on aggregative development in wild-type slime mold species #EMBLdevbio
Day 3 of the DB summer school "Transitions in developing systems: from theory to experiments" started with a fantastic talk by Guillaume Salbreux, from the University of Geneva, who discussed transitions in populations of coupled phase oscillators #EMBLDevBio
There's always more to learn at the DB unit Summer School @embl.org ! After two engaging practical sessions yesterday from the Aulehla and Petridou groups @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social , today we will be diving into data analysis #EMBLDevBio
Share with your network, group members, colleagues & friends.
We are extending the deadline till the 10th of June.
This is your last chance of joining us this summer.

New episode 🎧 We discuss Geometric Decision-Making with @icouzin.bsky.social! We go over the collective behaviours seen in different animals 🐠🪰🐙and ask: how much do physics models ⚛️portray the dynamics of collective-decision-making? Listen to learn more! open.spotify.com/show/4GrM2vL...
If you want to learn the latest developments in volumeEM from the experts, with hands-on experience on our instruments @embl.org, this course is for you! 🔬
“No Water, no Life. No Blue, no Green.”💙💚 @floravincent.bsky.social from @embl.org revealing the beauty of diatom symbiotic interactions, which enable these globally important phytoplankton to adapt to environmental stresses and pollutants.
Such cool science here at #EMBOclimateResilience 🧪🌊🌍
Hanh Vu @hanhtkvu.bsky.social, Group Leader at the @embl.org DB unit presenting the diversity of size, pattern and colour of Life #EESWildModels #planarians #DevBio
Very excited for this first of its kind EMBO/EMBL Symposium on the Wild Frontiers of Model Organisms.
So far Session 1 is a blast, from aiptasia symbiosis, oyster vibrio phage interactions, !!
#EESWildModels
@embldbunit.bsky.social
@embl.org
The one and only Margaret McFall-Ngai on pioneering a new model system. Couldn’t be more on spot !

Long live introverts! 😉Not the bravest mice 🐭, but the shy ones turn out to be the most persistent problem-solvers, according to a new study by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology. mpg.de/24460941/mic... #evolution #animalbehaviour
Did you miss the deadline for the #EMBLDevBio course? Good news! You can still register until 2 April. Join us for a unique course on biological transitions during development across species.
🎉 Excited to share our new work: “Adhesion-driven tissue rigidification triggers epithelial cell polarity”, now on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social !
A huge thank you to @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social, Bernat, @crisp-c.bsky.social, Adrián, and everyone involved! 🙌
