Excited about organizing this meeting with some of my favorite scientists. Really looking forward for us as a community to be bold and ambitious about discuss big unanswered questions. Come for the biology, theory and stay for the philosophy and biodiversity.

(8/n) This journey began when we came up with a clever trick to image a live animal in cross-section - to our surprise; the animal "walks" with cilia. This is unique since ciliary dynamics have not been studied with constrain. We asked can cilia naturally generate a walking gait?

Delighted to introduce a new doctor in town - Dr. Anton Molina! Anton defended his PhD from the lab in Material Science. The range of work covered during his Phd from "Droplet Ising machines" to "viral factories" and new solutions for "Period poverty" is breathtaking. Congrats!

An Unforgettable Field Trip!
Students had the incredible opportunity to embark on a captivating field trip where they delved into the hidden marvels of the microscopic realm using Foldscopes.

I often feel the capacity to uncover secrets of nature lies within our ability to observe. Tools help guide the way. Beautiful book by

An amazing meeting focused on imaging in marine organisms - at one of my favorite marine station.. literally surrounded by history.
#EMBOmarineimaging
with Ellie and Hannah from the lab.
#EMBOmarineImaging
is over & it was a blast. A lovely

(2/n) With an incredibly amazing graduate student in my lab - Matt Storm Bull - we went on a quest that almost lasted 7 years. This is a multi-scale story in 3 parts (arXiv ); subcellular, tissue and organism scale. What an amazing privilege to go on this expedition with you Matt

(3/n) (1)Excitable mechanics embodied in a walking cilium
(2) Ciliary flocking and emergent instabilities enable collective agility.. (3) Mobile defects .. shape the locomotive behavior of a headless animal

We have a lab tradition to do yearly recaps - in a goofy way - to reflect/celebrate the humanity behind all the science. A little bit of inner life of a Prakazoan. Kudos to Rebecca Konte in the lab for keeping this tradition alive. Sharing 2023 edition.
