Curious to read about the 'Physical Basis of Sarcomere Assembly'. Here are some thoughts from @friedrich-group.bsky.social and me - you might learn the difference between nematic and smectic order in biological assemblies pubs.aip.org/aip/bpr/arti...
Switzerland is joining Horizon Europe!
We are uniting two research powerhouses.
For cutting-edge innovation that will boost our energy security, digital transformation, health and so much more.
Today is a good day for science, and for our EU-Switzerland partnership.
Exciting opportunity! Young Drosophila researchers do not wait to apply. Fly facilities at the Institute in Münster are outstanding! @fly-eds.bsky.social
Nature suggests you use their "Manuscript Adviser" bot to get advice before submitting
I uploaded the classic Watson & Crick paper about DNA structure, and the Adviser had this to say about one of the greatest paper endings of the century:
Two funded PhD positions investigating the evolution of sarcomeres @ibdm.bsky.social in @biancah0406.bsky.social and our lab, together with @cnidevo.bsky.social - Interested to explore how similar or different Jellyfish sarcomeres are to Drosophila or human ones?

Preparations for the next JEDI meeting are underway! The upcoming Junior European #Drosophila Investigator / #NewPI meeting is planned for Portugal in June. Final dates and additional details will be announced soon - stay tuned for updates!
We close the day at #25EngLife with an inspiring talk by @frankschnorrer.bsky.social Titin rules!

Excited to share our new preprint on bioRxiv: "Cell type specific allometry controls sex-differences in Drosophila body size"!
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
www.biorxiv.org
Species and sex-specific differences in organ size are fundamental features of animal biology, yet the mechanisms that drive these differences remain debated. Adult female Drosophila are larger than m...
