Laetitia Kurzawa, @lblanchoin.bsky.social & @manuelthery.bsky.social recently published in PNAS that contractility forces can modulate the chiral swirl of motile cells @buttenschoen.ca & I developed models to understand why: doi.org/10.1016/j.bp... @biophysj.bsky.social doi.org/10.48550/arX...

It's been a good summer for our group 🙌 🤓 Egun Im presented at SIAM Annual Meeting @siam-ls.bsky.social We hosted 3 REU students, part of NSF-RTG Mathematics @northeasternu.bsky.social on noisy patterns and now we host 2 high school scholars working on limb regeneration. Join us, we are hiring!

The excellent Lucija Mijanovic & I write a piece musing on electrotaxis, collective migration, and @calinacopos.bsky.social & the Mogilner lab's nice PNAS paper. Have a look! authors.elsevier.com/a/1lpaB3QW8S...

NSF Physics was cut by 85%, basically wiping out most of its capacity for supporting research. NSF Astronomy was cut by 53% Undergrad education was cut by 71% and research on learning by 79% Graduate education was cut by 100% to ZERO. #GiftLink ⚛️🔭 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

When it comes to getting from A to B, is it smarter to buddy up as a supra-cell or go solo like two independent adventurers sharing the load? Check out our answer in this new modeling work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Probably ancient at this point, but as a mathematician, I laughed out loud at the thought of "equality" being a potential screening keyword for NSF proposals. Dang! Kids, from now on we shall call the equal sign... double line?!? 🤦‍♀️

@ascbiology.bsky.social 2024 has been a lot of fun! A sneak peek on our quantitative modeling work on motility modes of doublets.
