Fantastic opportunities 👇

I just published: Imagine a world without flowers We owe it to insects. We really do. Without insects, we would have no colorful flowers. Imagine how drab the world would be without flowers. link.medium.com/2GAouF4Z3Kb

The🪱 mania continues! In our last study lead by Rosa, we looked at the locomotion and dynamics of living worms (seen as active polymers) in porous environment made of 3D printed pillars arrays doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

Fortune et al. examine tiny swimmers in a Petri dish, analyzing Stokes flow singularities and their boundary conditions. Authors introduce a Brinkman equation for depth-averaged fluid flow, revealing insights into microswimmer interactions near surfaces. go.aps.org/4cfRmWr

“Unforgettable billiard!” Great to see this beautiful article by Steijn Delnoij and Thijs Albers on our Self-Avoiding Billiards in Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Natuurkunde (Dutch Journal of Physics) NTvN journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

Great fun this week in Vienna!

With Orit Peleg we are organising an APS Division of Biological Physics focus session “On Light & Life” from energy capture and light production to bio-inspired metamaterial design and more. Submission deadline is Oct 25 Please help us spread the word and join us in California next March :)

Excited to co-organize this American Physical Society MM session with Mazi Jalaal & invited speakers Shengqiang Cai + Todd Oakley ⚡️ … to explore how light shapes life and how life creates & uses light to sustain itself! If this sounds like your research, submit your abstract & join us!

When William Ryu first shared his beautiful movies of a wiggling worm, I was blown away! But how can we both accurately and with interpretability capture the posture dynamics of an animal’s behavior?

A reminder that the deadline for submitting your abstract to our focus session "On Light & Life" is October 25, 2024! ⚡️+🦠 = 💡

Come to work with us! The Institute for Soft Matter Synthesis and Metrology Georgetown University is looking for Post-Doctoral Research Fellows to work closely with scientists at Georgetown and NIST on soft matter, broadly defined. Apply here academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28886 by November 7!

The Els Koffeman Postdoctoral Fellowship is a unique one to launch candidates from underrepresented groups into faculty positions. Contact me or anyone else Institute of Physics if you or someone that you know is interested link 👇🏼 academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28390 deadline: 8 November 2024 🔁🙏🏼

This session was such a great fun! Thanks Olfa D’Angelo, Thomas, Norm, and The Society of Rheology for organising and the invitation! 🛰️⌛️🕴️

Happy to announce our new preprint "A green lifetime biosensor for calcium that remains bright over its full dynamic range" which is now available on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Why yet another biosensor for Ca2+? Here's a thread 🧵
