In this weather @ceitec.eu MU atrium is pretty special.

#GastrulationReloaded was a FANTASTIC , loaded with exciting discoveries. It went beyond gastrulation because what happens before & after is obviously connected. Still, not half the people who should be there were. @jeromegros.bsky.social largely funded the conference 👏. @embo.org should reconsider

Today our #cephalic #furrow #evolution story hits the shelves in the glossy journal form. How appropriate that it’s architects met in Paris. Missing @bruvellu.bsky.social but joined by #CF enthusiast Mateo Rauzi & @heisenbergcplab.bsky.social @yuchiunwang.bsky.social Steffen Lemke #mechanicsfirst

We are starting with THE LEGEND of the #gastrulation field - Ray Keller.

In Paris, at @pasteur.fr #GastrulationReloaded organized primarily by @jeromegros.bsky.social (in picture). This will be FUN!

I was under duress. Still in the #no_pineapple camp. Now I know why… 🍕

Congratulations @philipschoene.bsky.social on defending his Master’s thesis on the supremacy of mechanics in Hydra regeneration from aggregates of dissociated cells. Expertly guided by @anaisbailles.bsky.social. #experiment and #theory #LoPaTs @mpi-cbg.de @poldresden.bsky.social #stuffthatmatters

Some more encounters from the #Barcelona week, I was so busy, I forgot to take pictures … #lightsheet #ichtyosporeans #emblbarcelona #Mayor 😝

A lot happened in the lovely #Barcelona this week. The highlight being @amartinezarias.bsky.social star-studded symposium. Incredible impact this man has on lives and work of scientists. You can’t buy that, you have to earn it. #notinthegenes 🤠➡️🎩

Guess where I am.

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 💕

"I'm hearing from scientists and doctors all over the country and they are in full agreement with me: It is mechanics first"

One more thing. #Collaboration, #communication, and #openness pay off in research. Not only did the four involved labs get the papers published together like two chapters in one book. I am also fortunate to have attracted @bipashadey29.bsky.social from Yu-Chiun Wang's lab to join my team in Dresden!

The moral of the story is that building the #bridge between #evolution & #morphogenesis is hard. I still think it needs a concerted push, because, to paraphrase the classic: "Everything in biology, even the #CF, starts making sense in the light of evolution." I add, it is #stuff_that_matters (12/12)

We started working together, and that meant that the powerful biophysical expertise of @yuchiunwang.bsky.social, Steffen's long-time collaborator under @hfspo.bsky.social, expanded the team. Bipasha Dey made some of the most complex experiments bridging dev-bio & tissue mechanics (9/12)

The important event for the genesis of the project was the mechanobiology conference @embl.org in 2022. My talk inspired Steffen Lemke to revisit the data on the distribution of #CF across the Dipteran phylogeny, revealing that it is an #evolutionary_novelty. Crucial insight! (8/12)

As these projects go, others within my group engaged. Particularly, @cuencam15.bsky.social was instrumental in the biophysical manipulations required to demonstrate the mechanical impact of #CF absence in fruit flies. To my delight, she used #lightsheet microscopy for the key experiments. (7/12)

Bruno and I got help from the quantitative, biophysics-oriented research environment @mpipks.bsky.social, and particularly from @carldmodes.bsky.social, who, together with his team, powered the modelling and simulation aspect of the project. Carl is great! (6/12)
