The Scientific Distillery
Could you distil a complex scientific concept so that it can be explained in 30 seconds and be understood by a lay person, but *without* sacrificing scientific depth?
The delegates at #SCSS2025 were brilliant at this task 👏
A provocative opening this morning from Cedric Blanpain, who sets out to argue that most tissues are maintained by unipotent stem cells. We look forward to hearing him make his case.. #SCSS2025
BOOM! The Spetses Stem cell Summer School is off to a spectacular start as we take time off to visit the island's Armata festival. We've heard lots of great science already: stay tuned for more updates #SCSS2025
Anna Couturier guides us through a fascinating, sometimes terrifying, talk on Stem Cell Research in Society: Philosophy, Misinformation, and Digital Futures
We discuss the [distorting] lenses through which the world views our work, & the challenges we face in combating misinformation
#SCSS2025
Super-impressive talk from Christine Mummery, who uses iPS-derived cardiac microtissues to measure disease-specific arrhythmias.
In a brilliant application of of data sonification:
we could actually "hear" the calcium-imaging data as arrhythmias respond to drugs added to the media 🤯
#SCSS2025
Matthias Lutolf treats us to a breathtaking tour through his work using engineering principles to guide self-organisation, aiming to build complex human tissues. There has been remarkable progress in this area in recent years.
#SCSS2025
Our wonderful #SCSS2025 faculty spend the sunny afternoons discussing science, careers, life, the universe, & everthing with our delegates.
Lively chat here with @alejofraticelli.bsky.social, who blew our minds yesterday with data showing that long-established textbook models are WRONG.
