Looking forward to present new work #apsmarch (Wed, meetings.aps.org/Meeting/MAR21/…) How starfish embryos form living chiral crystals? Nikta Fakhri Peter Foster

Very excited to share a new preprint from my group on discovery of living chiral crystals (LCC). arxiv.org/abs/2105.07507

The microbiome: What can we learn from honey bees? elifesciences.org/articles/72380…

When bacteria come together to share resources and cooperate, unexpected multicellular life-cycles emerge. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… – beautiful work led by the most brilliant Julia Schwartzman , Ali Ebrahimi, in collaboration with Victoria Orphan.

Congratulations to Prof. Nikta Fakhri (MIT) on her "2022 Early Career Award for Soft Matter Research" award! We invite everyone to attend her talk during the "DSOFT Prize Session". Location: W-185BC/McCormick Time: 11:30 AM (Mon, March 14) [Tweet: 1/2]

Excited to share our recent work on the emergent mechanics of actomyosin in sea star oocytes! This was a truly excellent collaboration with @SFuerthauer and Nikta Fakhri with some really surprising results. Check it out!

And so it begins! @MBLPhys Tzer Han Tan Peter Foster

Super excited to share our work on living chiral crystal: nature.com/articles/s4158…. We show (1) sea star embryos self-assemble into 2D crystal and (2) due to chiral embryo rotation, the crystal exhibits odd elastic dynamics!

Please join us for the next SLAAM seminar on Monday, July 18 (9 am PT/12 noon ET). This seminar will be given by Dr. Peter Foster (Brandeis University). Title: "Active mechanics of sea star oocytes". Peter Foster USC Physics
