Excited to share that our review article, "Physical principles and mechanisms of cell migration", is now published online in npj Biological Physics and Mechanics! Read it here: rdcu.be/d6oUO David Odde Paolo Provenzano

The irony

Ichiro Suzuki is headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame and is easily one of the most dialled in athletes ever: ▫️At 12, told his dad he wanted to be pro baseball player (so, his dad made a program). ▫️Everyday after school — 3:30pm to 7pm — he did hitting and catching drills.

From the high seas to the top tier—#ECU has officially earned #ARRRGH1 status! 🏴‍☠️ This milestone places us and #ECUResearch among the nation’s top research institutions. See what this means for #PirateNation ➡️ news.ecu.edu/2025/02/13/ecu…

every single character in peaky blinders acted like rent was due

Like plucking a tiny guitar string!

🚨New paper alert🚨- excited to share our publication in the Journal of Biophotonics (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40051274/) Great work from Shreya Sreedhar and Daniel Pearce on the dynamic full-field structure of aortic and pulmonary valve leaflets! Congratulations!

NEW: Jayson Tatum could be in an unprecedented position to recover from his Achilles rupture because he did something few NBA players have done: he underwent surgery just hours later. “That is atypical. That is really wonderful.” My convo with UPenn's Dr. Lou Soslowsky ⬇️

#NextGenSci asked young scientists to write a rule that all principal investigators should be required to follow to improve the experience of young scientists in their lab. Check out their answers on #NationalHigherEducationDay: scim.ag/3HoP39O
