This workshop is great moment to discuss with colleagues Systems Biology Research/Teaching applied to plants to tackle climate change issues: Open for applications by Postgraduate and others! Workshop at the Institut Pascal eng-saclay-plant-sciences.hub.inrae.fr/events/worksho…

Slowly migrating to Blue Sky: @vgrieneisen.bsky.social So find me there! I will keep looking into both universes though, at least for a while...

Now Veronica Grieneisen discusses multiple examples of evo-devo in order to explore pattern formation via evolutionary processes. It's interesting that evolutionary processes vary under different contexts, from biological to cultural, do we have a real theory of evolution?

Now Pierre Ronceray from CENTURI - Turing Centre for Living Systems continues his lecture on Brownian dynamics. He matched the results on the blackboard with simulations, which let us appreciate the power of stochastic differential equations to exploit different models used in complex systems science.

Amazing stuff!! Congratulations to Pierre Ronceray and his group.

BREAKING: Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on the import of all Python libraries, with an extra 10% on NumPy

This only happens to you once. 😃

Delighted our efforts (@CardiffUniversity w/ Stan Marée) and Tokyo with Toru Fujiwara, Mayuki Tanaka and Naoyuki Sotta (now Osaka Metropolitan University ) is out in @NAR_Open ! We uncover a genetic dance involving gene transcription, translation and silencing. doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

The ECHR ruled that the state failed four children who were left in years of neglect. That judgment forced real change in child protection and made clear that governments have a duty to act when people are at risk. Without the ECHR, there would have been no justice at all.

Every generation understands how important freedom of movement is for young people. It's time for the British Government to rejoin Erasmus+, to empower students with invaluable opportunities to study, work, and experience life across Europe.
