Stand up for science! Happening this Friday 3/7 - look up for local events near you : https://t.co/2vLYwXPM0h most campus nationwide will organize, join if you can, make our voice heard

[dasbiswas_lab @DasbiswasLab]

looking forward to connect with scientific colleagues on the other side!

Congratulations to Subhaya Bose for successfully defending his PhD dissertation tonight. Thanks also to the committee for being very engaged and keeping him on track in the last 5 years.

It was fun to attend this fantastic workshop on Mechanobiology organized by my good friend and collaborator Xinpeng Xu in Hangzhou, China. The recorded talks are now available

[Ulrich Schwarz (also @ulrichschwarz.bsky.social) @SchwarzUlrich]

The video recordings from the recent @BIRS_Math workshop on Cell and Tissue Mechanics: Modeling Meets Experiments (24w5507) at Hangzhou are now online https://t.co/bUOridjA9I

[Prathyusha K. R. @krprathyusha]

All excited about this invited talk.

Our article on a long-range mechanism for durotaxis is now published! https://t.co/n3VHSRMVPt Grad student Subhaya Bose and coworkers introduce elastic dipolar interactions into an active particle model: a cell may sense a stiffness interface from afar without straddling it!

Thank you @ApsDsoft for organizing such a great Panel Session! Lots of great questions - and if anyone is interested feel free to reach out for any further advice

[Turlier lab @virtual_embryo]

Registrations are open for the Qlife Quantitative Biology spring school on Cell Dynamics in Developmental System March 3-April 04 2025. Great line of talks, lectures and hands-on practicals on omics, image analysis, modeling and inference: https://t.co/AHQOCaFOiD

I will be giving the SLAAM Seminar next Monday morning October 7 (10am Pacific time/1pm Eastern) on Zoom. Please attend if you're interested in biomolecular phase separation, transcriptional control and hyperuniformity!

More details: https://t.co/xkcvgqgIEm

[Brian Camley @diffusiveblob]

Monday: check out a Zoom seminar by postdoc Emiliano Perez Ipina on the SLAAM series https://t.co/5E49kAi5Ov - he'll talk about his work on cells interacting with and modifying complex environments

📢 IgNobel prize for active matter! The physics of drunk worms! 🪱

A belated post: Patrick Noerr successfully defended his dissertation entitled "Mechanical interactions in biological active filaments and networks" earlier this summer. Congratulations Dr. Noerr!  Wish you all the best in your postdoc career at UCSD!

[Dylan Burnette @MAG2ART]

Cell 1: I am going this way.
Cell 2: No, come this way with me.
Cell 1: Where are we going?
Cell 2: No clue, but at least we will be together.
Some that wander are lost........

📢 Applications for ELBE postdoc fellowships are open! If you're up for a biophysics theory-experiment collaboration in the Dresden environment, please apply! @csbdresden, @mpi_pks, @mpicbg, @tudresden_de

[dasbiswas_lab @DasbiswasLab]

Great collection. I would also add this from the groups of Giorgio Scita, Nir Gov and Ajay Gopinathan https://t.co/qVeEP3qI9N which showed clusters of chemotactic cells switching from running to rotating phases

[epithelial mechanics fan club @EpiMechFC]

Collective cell motion has many forms, but rotation is the coolest of them all.

I'm @onenimesa, and in this short🧵, I'll highlight some instances of global tissue rotation like this one from @BauschLab

[Tzer Han Tan @tzerhan29]

When in 3D, confinement drives new collective states in epithelial sheets. Glad to see our work with @anne_grapin @mpopov1c Julicher complements this growing body of exciting work
