On its migration to: Developmental Biophysicist. assistant professor @McMasterU.

[M. Fethullah Simsek @FethullahSimsek]

It looks like there is considerable murmuration happening in @bluesky by flocks of #science! Time to migrate... I will switch to using a handle for our physical biology of #embryos lab @McMaster. Please follow: https://t.co/Mss4AHjCjv…

Excited to speak at next week’s VGZT!

[M. Fethullah Simsek @FethullahSimsek]

+thanks all in @OzbudakLab and beyond who ended up collaborating with me and teaching me new things in this project as it came to its present form: https://t.co/o3G1Z5nvR9

[M. Fethullah Simsek @FethullahSimsek]

Happy that the backbone project of my postdoc research is published out @Dev_Cell ! +

🌟 New Paper Alert! 🚨
How does a developing embryo know where to place somite boundaries? 🦴🐟
Our latest study https://t.co/3o3DLKI4do in @Dev_Cell reveals a missing piece of the puzzle involving ERK oscillations and the segmentation clock (https://t.co/RHVJiRP4at)
(1/)

[M. Fethullah Simsek @FethullahSimsek]

+This project eventually bud off the published work which showed how to convince vertebrate embryos lacking a molecular clock to make somites: https://t.co/ZciYNIy1wf
Unexpectedly, clock, a shortlived transcriptional repressor, lowers ERK activity by stabilizing ERK posphatases!+

Wonderful news Masha; to the many cool microscopy and discoveries!

[Masha Akhmanova 🌻 @MashaAkhmanova]

🪰🔬🦠Happy starting my "Cell immigration" lab at fantastic @MSKCancerCenter!! #microscopy, #modelling #Drosophila #organoids. Looking for postdocs, students - come join us🫐 here in NYC https://t.co/EV0RGjvh6x

[Ozbudak Lab @OzbudakLab]

🚨News alert !! Honored to be endowed with Robert Laughlin Rea Professor of Anatomy at Northwestern University!

[M. Fethullah Simsek @FethullahSimsek]

Looking forward to host you here @McMasterU as well on Thursday! @machealthsci @biogradmcmaster

[Tanentzapf Lab @TanentzapfLab]

Ontario friends I am visiting next week! On Wednesday I'll be speaking in Toronto at the MaRs building (1PM in 15th floor seminar room). On Thursday I'm speaking at McMaster (4-5 in MDCL). I'll talk about what happens when flies taste bacteria & swarm intelligence in stem cells!

Delighted to share my latest #devbiol story ⁦@NautilusMag⁩. This one’s about James Bond, cilia, and the wondrously complex interplay of embryos and people. https://t.co/h9CdIafnfJ

The desynchronization of cell divisions in early mammalian embryos—once seen as a random process—instead plays a crucial role in ensuring robust development, shedding light on how embryos maintain precision despite biological noise, researchers report in Science. https://t.co/lm4M082XLu

Congratulations to Denis Duboule @Duboule for being awarded the 2025 ISDB Harrison Medal for his contributions to the understanding of gene regulation, particularly the Hox gene family, and their spatial collinearity in vertebrates 🎉🎉🏅 https://t.co/IKnooMFcI1

[HHMI | Janelia @HHMIJanelia]

🧪A team of researchers, led by @HelenFarrants & @ERSchreiter, developed a new way for engineered protein biosensors & bright, fluorescent Janelia Fluor dyes to work together, creating a new biosensor for measuring physiological signals in live animals.➡️https://t.co/oVKLIGmsRP

@Planaria1 @schierlab Stumpf definitely had a (quite forgotten) big credit on the "positional information" concept. We had touched it in the first paragraph of the P.I. section here: https://t.co/6rAZ0OewMS

Wouter @WHB_Masselink closes the session with Axolotl

Wouter is sharing with us his data on somite-independent regeneration of the axolotl tail

You guys are lovely! Happy grinding Kemal :)

[Ozbudak Lab @OzbudakLab]

Meet Research Assistant Professor @KemalKeseroglu. Congratulations on your promotion. 🎉🎊

[CPBF @phybiofunc]

Finishing your PhD and interested in the Physics of Life? We are in the midst of our annual search for new Fellows. We are looking for both theorists and experimentalists ready for a bit more independence than a regular postdoc. To learn more: https://t.co/5pLw869VNK

Paul Dirac was so famously laconic that his colleagues joked about "a Dirac" being a unit of silence.

New preprint: We have developed an integrated pipeline to i) image gastruloids in toto with dual-view 2-photon🔬, ii) quantitatify cell and tissue-scale patterns of gene expression and morphometric features, iii) interact with the data in @napari_imaging. https://t.co/NvexmiWnHY
