And of course, we couldn’t stop the conversations. Not even during a beautiful boat ride under the Lisbon sunset.
A lively and honest panel on funding and publishing interdisciplinary research, featuring Poonam Bheda @embopress.org @molsystbiol.org, Dario Corradini @apsphysics.bsky.social and Guntram Bauer @hfspo.bsky.social
We kicked things off with a brilliant lecture by @amurugan.bsky.social on the evolution of error correction, followed by a unique art & science performance from the Shapes of Emergence collective depicting the emergence of life on an exoplanet!
Workshop participants took on the challenge of mapping and connecting the key questions shaping the field.
Huge thanks to co-organizers @andreagiometto.bsky.social, @liedewijlaan.bsky.social, and Regina Zenkl. To @embo.org, @apsphysics.bsky.social, and Fondazione Alma Dal Co for their generous support. @gimminstitute.bsky.social for hosting us on the beautiful Oeiras campus. See you at the next hand!
The final program for the EMBO Workshop “The rules of the game: biophysical & molecular principles in cellular evolution” is online!
A few seats are still available if you want to attend (Deadline May 15th)

What a nice summary of our preprint on cellular miniaturization! Thank you @anastasiamoraiti.bsky.social for writing this wonderful @prelights.bsky.social!
Cells are the fundamental units of life, shaped by evolution into a remarkable diversity of forms and functions. Much is known about the roles of genes and proteins, the regulation of molecular proce…
A few snapshots from the @embo.org workshop “The Rules of the Game: biophysical and molecular principles in cellular evolution” — and an excuse to thank everyone who made it such a fun, stimulating, and inspiring few days at @gimminstitute.bsky.social

New SPCG preprint in collaboration with the Amir lab
We solve an accumulator model of cell division with noisy threshold and memory, finding a continuum of strategies from timer to adder to sizer and that extrinsic noise is essential to explain E. coli size fluctuations.

The incredible shrinking cells: a guide to efficient downsizing
@anastasiamoraiti.bsky.social highlights research from Ana Garoña & @marcofumasoni.bsky.social uncovering a putative mechanism for cell size evolution.

How do we fund and publish research that doesn't fit neatly into a single discipline?
Last week, at the #EMBORulesOfTheGame, #HFSP Chief Scientific Officer Guntram Bauer presented how HFSP supports #frontierscience across disciplines and borders.
