1/12 A very special moment for me! 🎉
My first paper as corresponding author—a @jcb.org Perspective on how contact-based decision-making in collective cell migration can itself encode blueprints for complex patterns and shapes.

This Wednesday @bgraedel.bsky.social defended his PhD — crowning an extraordinary scientific journey.
He showed how live-cell imaging and computational modeling can reveal and perturb cytoskeletal dynamics at micrometer and second-level scales.
Thanks Benjamin — a wild, inspiring ride! 🚀
