Encore bravo pour cette mobilisation. Le combat pour les libertés académiques continue.

It's good to see institutional support for #academicfreedom .
Let's hope the CNRS realizes that they should not promote policies that generate political leverage over research, such as their #keylabs proposal.

#Communiqué 🗞️ Le CNRS exprime sa solidarité avec les scientifiques exerçant aux États-Unis, où la liberté académique est aujourd'hui mise à l’épreuve.

The threats against academia in the US have reached a tipping point.

If we don't want this to happen in other countries:
-Show solidarity at a global scale the 7th of march.
-Inform the public about what is happening there.
-Push for policies that protect academic freedom where you are.
Le 7 mars prochain, c'est la journée d'action Stand Up for Science ! Suivez ce compte pour vous tenir informé.e des actions organisées en région parisienne 📆 Le site de référence : standupforscience.fr

Really excited to present the results of a great collaboration between our group @poldresden.bsky.social and Elliot Hawkes at @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social, which were just published in @science.org. A mix of physics, biology and robotics! 🤖 😀

Organization of the apical extracellular matrix during tubular organ formation
The apical extracellular matrix (aECM) plays a critical role in epithelial tube morphogenesis during organ formation, but its composition and organization remain poorly understood. Using the Drosophil...

Early mouse morula!
Almost two years ago, I imaged my very first mouse embryo and since then I haven’t gotten over the funny apical domains (cyan)😍 nostalgic :)
This beauty was part of the first immunostaining, I did when I joined the lab! #fluoroscentfriday

Our latest discovery of “lowest recorded temperature for eukaryotic cell motility” going all the way down to -15deg C. Come for the crazy cold Arctic & stay for diatoms. Will write longer thread - but enjoy video below of diatoms gliding on frozen ice surfaces. Congrats @zqing.bsky.social & team.

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D

Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added!
