We have a fully funded 3y postdoc position open!!!! Come join us @mpi-cbg.de and @poldresden.bsky.social to understand the role of Membranes in Controlling Biogenic Crystallization :) this is part of our #HFSP funded project with @noemijimenezrojo.bsky.social and @vmonje.bsky.social!

Hot off the press!!! Proudly presenting our lab's new review on how do cells communicate to control organ size :) We focus specially on dynamic connections that operate at different timescales to regulate organ growth and morphogenesis. #devbio #SizeandShape www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out @jalehtimaki.bsky.social and @nordenlab.bsky.social super cool latest work! We always wondered how horizontal cells "know" where to go despite lacking attachments. Turns out they need guidance cues from two different cell types... horizontal cells are the most social cells in the eye!

Too poor to science: How wealth determines who succeeds in STEM From student to researcher, a career in science can come with a high price tag. This Perspective explores how persistent financial barriers limit who can succeed in science, revealing how wealth shape...

Behind many scientists is a lifetime of invisible, unsustainable costs. From unpaid internships to underpaid postdocs, the economic toll of a STEM career is staggeringβ€”and it's pushing talent out. My new perspective explores this crisis. #STEM #AcademicBlueSky journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Great quantitative tools for small molecules and ions concentrations and dynamics, developed together with the @nadlerlab.bsky.social! And it is always great to collaborate with friends @sascha-kuhn.bsky.social :)

Yes, that is me, for those who did not yet know. This was not planned but I am very happy to go 'home' even though I will miss a lot about Portugal. If you still want to visit, hurry, otherwise see you in Cambridge. If you want to know more contact me directly.

How can organs regenerate fast? Bioelectricity helps -- by coupling sub-second electrical injury signals to regenerative proliferation.

So sorry for you loss Michel! It is tremendously hard, they are part of the family and nobody is prepared for this pain. I hope he can meet my sweet Dylan up there and they can play together

So happy to see that one of my favourite microscopy images from my PhD in the @nordenlab.bsky.social is the screensaver and desktop image of the computers in the @gimmfoundation.bsky.social microcopy facility :) Is this the eye of Sauron or the eye of Caren?
