Can robots in a swarm act like the cells of an organism? Thanks to Sedeer El-Showk for the new article in @nature.com, which highlights the work of a number of research groups, including our own, on how “Robots demonstrate principles of collective intelligence”. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Our teachers this year: Rashmi Priya (@rashmi-priya.bsky.social) Rashmi takes a systems-level approach, integrating quantitative imaging, genetics, and theory to explore how organs form and function emerges during embryogenesis. She will talk about the role of mechanical forces in organogenesis.

So exciting! Studying malaria infection in vitro! The human malaria parasite is specific to humans: you can't study the same parasite in animal models. The lab of @mariabernabeu.bsky.social build beautiful human blood vessels in vitro, & do the experiments there: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
