[Peter Foster @pjfoster]

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be starting my group at USC @USC_Physics in January 2023! My group will be located in the @USCBridge and will focus on active cytoskeletal materials in both purified and living systems. Info on open positions coming soon…

Super excited to share our work on living chiral crystal: https://t.co/pBuFTjyYVS. We show (1) sea star embryos self-assemble into 2D crystal and (2) due to chiral embryo rotation, the crystal exhibits odd elastic dynamics!
