Hydra are ~basically~ immortal.

Shred 50 of the lil guys to bits and pack their cells in a blob, and that blob will grow into a new Hydra... albeit with a few extra heads!

This week's post is a Q&A @anaisbailles.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de about the physics of how Hydra coax order from chaos.🧪⚛️

On the train back now from the 2nd ever #EMBODevMet, where I got to see many familiar faces, meet new people, and hear about lots of great and inspiring work combining two of my top scientific interests (development & metabolism) in so many different systems! 🤓🤩
✨ That's a wrap on #EMBODevMet after four inspiring days of cutting-edge science, new ideas, and reconnections.

👏 A huge thanks to all participants, speakers, and organisers who made this event so special.

We can't wait to welcome you back to another EMBL event 👉 embl.org/events

Grateful and happy to be a part of this celebration, and proud to be a #LoPaT 😎🔬🚲🕸️🍻⚓🎇
Yesterday me and my lab celebrated #20years @mpi-cbg.de. There is a lot to say about that but the pictures from the event tell it better. Thanks city of #Dresden for the nice fireworks. That was unexpected. 10 more years or so? #LoPaTs 💕

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)

Day 11 of #LISH25
Last lectures of the course, closing with beautiful plant light sheet imaging by Maria Cuacos and organoids by Gustavo Madeiros.

From now on, data transfer, analysis and presentation preparation!

The last day of lectures at #LISH25 starts with Gustavo Medeiros presenting applications of light sheet microscopy to #organoid research. @priscaliberali.bsky.social lab. Gustavo is a physicist and a creative artist and the walk-up song delivers that message. Video in thread.

#LISH25 day 10 ushered in by Claudia Gerri from @mpi-cbg.de introducing us to the wonderful world of mammalian early embryo development, implantation and #placenta interactions. Showing light sheet data from ex #LoPaT - Michi Burkon 💕. Walk-up song with Italian flair came with sweets.

Beautiful, moving combination of music, fish embryo microscopy, and Pablo Neruda poetry introduces Miguel Concha’s #LISH25 lecture. Walk-up song on another level! Like at #Woodstock. Fascinating and unusual #Morphogenesis of #killifish follows.

Excellent mid-course presentations from the #LISH25 student teams. Packed @csbdresden.bsky.social seminar room. Tons of data, visualisation, sample preparation creativity, and image analysis in progress. Lots of ambition from the student teams. I am impressed.

Second week of #LISH25 starts with Anna Kreshuk from @embl.org shifting the focus to data analysis, computer vision and machine learning. Appropriately, because our #HIVEs are overflowing with light sheet data. Very energetic, electrifying walk-up song.

Day four of #LISH25 begins with a powerful presentation by @loicaroyer.bsky.social on digitizing zebrafish development, combining light-sheet and single-cell data. Loïc took the #walk-up song to another level, improvising on the piano as his massive fish development visualisation played. Beautiful.
