Congratulations to Kim Whye and Jake for their recent achievements
Congrats to Kim Whye for being selected to give an oral presentation and for receiving a travel award for the upcoming Imaging Mouse Development Workshop! Congrats also to Jake for being awarded the prestigious EMBL CPP grant to engage in collaboration with the Prevedel lab!
Joe invited to present at various conferences and research institutes in Japan
Joe was invited to present at the International Symposium on Mechanical control of biological self-organization and the IUPAB Congress 2024 in Kyoto, as well as at WPI-PRIMe in Osaka. It was also a great pleasure to meet up with Katsuhiko Hayashi, an inspiring figure in ovaroids studies!
Push and pull: Joe shares his two cents on current approaches to measuring mechanics in Nature
Great to see developmental mechanics getting highlighted!
