Hi - I draw along talks for a hobby - making #sketchnotes, mainly #science, sometimes #politics that I publish on my blog:

TalksAsDoodles
A visual blog about science and tissue engineering. Based on live doodles/sketchnotes done during talks. Some with an abstract/writeup.

Are you at the #APSGlobalSummit2025?

I'm extremely honored to be finalist for the @apsdsoft.bsky.social Emerging Soft Matter Excellence Award!

Curious? Come by on Tuesday 8-11am at the Session MAR-F65 (my talk: 10:24am) 😊

Also just message me if you wanna have a chat :)

Finally done with my #pollen composition just in time for #FluorescenceFriday! Each grain imaged separately w #superresolution for red autofluorescence & color-coded for depth 😍

New paper in which we demonstrate how to generate #cilia like oscillations with only reciprocal actuation at the base, using theory, simulations and a robotic model.

(too bad Phys Rev journals have not made it over to bsky yet)

Minimal design of a synthetic cilium
Flexible, active filaments beating in a viscous fluid sustain a variety of waveforms. Complex actuation mechanisms are usually necessary to produce large-amplitude bending waves of the kind observed i...

💥Beyond happy 💥 Our work is now published in PNAS!
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

With Gloria Canales & @mazi1.bsky.social we studied how the single celled alga Pyrocystis lunula 🌙 move their chloroplast in response to strong light.

Get ready for some fun mechanics, signals and organelle motion! 🧵
