Our recent preprint on how elevated temperatures affect early embryo development. We are using fly embryos to address this fundamental question, and seeing mitotic defects, which can be rescued to improve embryo survival.

A mechanical puzzle solved: @lepuslapis.bsky.social and @zhaoshh.bsky.social lay the foundations for mechanical instabilities on curved surfaces. @mpi-cbg.de @mpipks.bsky.social @csbdresden.bsky.social, publication in @physrevlett.bsky.social: www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...
Super thrilled to see our review out! It was a great experience to put this together with @sameerthukral.bsky.social and @yuchiunwang.bsky.social. Use it as a primer to the field or as inspiration to brainstorm how rigidity transitions can bridge scales!
Missing also @bipashadey29.bsky.social, but with @sameerthukral.bsky.social crashing the party, more than making up for it!
Temperature variations can challenge animal survival, with different life cycle stages presenting distinct vulnerabilities to elevated temperature. Here, embryonic development is known to be especiall...

Happy to have shared my first post on The Node, on how hidden power dynamics may prevent creative science from blooming.
