The pleasure is mine! We are so excited to have Cristian Villalobos with us to work on out-of-equilibrium GUVS (and more) in collaboration with Andela Saric

At the beginning of January Laura Alvarez presented the work of the group in the Winter Meeting on Statistical Physics in #CiudadDeMéxico A big thanks for the wonderful organization (and Ramón Castañeda-Priego for the pic!)

Thrilled to see this paper published Physical Review X: Check it out at journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/1…! In it, we describe how growing mixed bacterial colonies can be thought of as multi-component "active fluids" that exhibit interfacial instabilities. Summary in the tweetorial below ⬇️

What started as a final postdoc idea project before leaving ETH Department of Materials finished up as a beautiful piece of work led by my dear collegue Carlijn V.Baalen. Congrats to Carlijn and thanks for trusting Friday afternoon ideas :) Check our prepint below!👇 arxiv.org/abs/2412.16658

It was so fun working on this project! And congrats to Vivien for her contribution during her Masters!

A great way to celebrate my 3rd year as Tenure Track in University of Bordeaux Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal Time flies! What a wonderful time with such an amazing group of people! Thanks for making science and everyday group dynamics so fun and easy! Cristian Villalobos

New year, new institution... new website! Check out dattalab.caltech.edu for up-to-date information on who we are, what we do, and the papers we write.

Waiting for a flight while reading The New York Times I stumbled up on this short article about the work of Denis Bartolo and his group on crowds in San Fermins! This is so cool! :) Laboratoire de Physique, ENS de Lyon, CNRS CNRS 🌍

International Day of Women & Girls in Science ! What an honour to work amongst these inspired women! Here are the Women and Girls in Science working Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal 😀 Université de Bordeaux CNRS 🌍 #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience

New preprint!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 For the 10 of you who are still here here's the link, you can find the full thread with cool movies on a different platform whose name you can guess by now :-) leave this place, people - the science is elsewhere! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested to join the M3 team as a postdoctoral researcher on high TC molecule-based magnets? Magnetic materials? Conducting metal-organic magnets? Switchable complexes? Porous MOF? We have a few positions available. Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal Université de Bordeaux. Please contact us ASAP, Rodolphe Clérac.

Huge congrats to Alanna Duarte and Cooper Thome on their co-first author paper in #AdvancedFunctionalMaterials! Their work sheds light onto how the polarizability of microparticles changes as proteins bind. 👇advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Synetic Cell MC Doctoral Network PhD offer alert!📌 at Kerstin Göpfrich group in Heidelberg! If you are interested in RNA origami, synthetic cells, & membranes, contact Kerstin with a CV and a transcript of your records! More info goepfrichgroup.de & sigsyncell.crpp.cnrs.fr

New preprint 🎇 We developed oligonucleotide PROTACs (OligoPROTACs), which show comparable activity to small molecule equivalents - but can be *switched off*, using DNA nanotech, to restore protein levels! Last of Disha Kashyap's trilogy! Tom Milne chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

New group article led by J. Fojo during his master in Soft Matter Royal Society of Chemistry, on 2D percolated networks of colloidal rods! This article forms part of the collection in honour of our collegue Stefan Egelhaaf. Thank to eveyone who made it possible! Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal

What a great evening together! A small family inside and outside the lab! Thanks to all the group members for making my PI experience so amazing :) 🥳 Cristian Villalobos

Discover more about our group members :)!

Very excited to participate in this workshop! Thank you very much for putting this together

Congrats to José for the back cover art!
