Biophysicists are realizing that there is an undervalued element at play in early development: Aside from genes, mechanical forces also steer the growth of embryos. @annademming.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/genes-have-h...

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development.

The BM^2 Lab is hiring a Ph.D. student to work on a variety of problems connected to modeling of morphogenesis in plants (i.e. ovule curvature formation, fixed handedness establishment in certain plant organs and its link to cell wall mechanics).

Please share!

Wonderful (and humble) essay on mentorship by Brandon Gaut, on occasion of Brandon receiving the inaugural Mentorship Award of @genetics-gsa.bsky.social. I hope this will be widely read!

Good news alert! We are among the 2025 HFSP awardees! In a fun project developed together with @turlierlab.bsky.social and @chemamd.bsky.social we will study the polar lobe of spiralian embryos. Very excited about the opportunity to explore this unique mode of asymmetric cell division. Stay tuned!
🥳Congratulations to the 104 pioneering scientists from 30 nations awarded 2025 #HFSPResearchGrants! 🎉Your frontier research is shaping the future of #LifeSciences! 🌍🔬🧪
