Daniel Kahneman's imaginary sabbatical in a fly lab continues...this time: The art of letting go.
Have you felt the pain of stopping while standardising a new method? Or letting go of a project? When to stop, when to persist?

We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji.
It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:
🪰Yu-Chiun Wang’s team & Univ. of Hohenheim group discovered how fly embryos solve the “tissue tectonic collision” that occurs in morphogenetic movements between tissues and why the #cephalicfurrow evolved, a longstanding mystery to developmental biologists.

Our latest preprint! Into morphogenesis, Yap, ECM, signaling, vertex models, feedbacks/robustness? There is something here for everyone. We discovered a positive feedback loop that extends inner ear canals, and a built-in mechanism that shuts it down when morphogenesis is done. tinyurl.com/464wsjhd
A long-standing mystery in the development of fly embryos has been resolved

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

What if the legendary psychologist and grandfather of behavioral economics, Daniel Kahneman took a sabbitical in a fly lab? How would the lab culture change?
Explored this imaginary scenario in a blog post @the-node.bsky.social

Excited to be traveling to meetings.embo.org/event/25-cyt... in Pune, India. Looking forward to seeing friends not seen in years and revisiting for the first time since 2020. My lab is recruiting. Those interested, let’s meet up there! (Look out for ads up here soon.)
'How to be a scientist in a post-journal world'
@pracheeac.bsky.social & @mbeisen.bsky.social beautifully explain how a post-Journal world would look, work, & why it would indeed be a better world. 👍

Flies have evolved two distinct strategies for managing mechanical stresses during embryogenesis: out-of-plane cell division in midges and transient out-of-plane tissue folding in fruit flies.

A key question in biology is how living cells adapt to highly complex functional requirements in the context of an organism, within which they need to develop complex morphologies, interact with many…
When we created this site to write about things in science that need to be fixed, we chose not to start with publishing, even though it has been our preoccupation for decades.
The role of tissue that forms between the head and trunk of a fly embryo has been unclear. It turns out that it absorbs forces when nearby cells move and divide.
