Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Our theoretical paper “Localized states in active fluids” is accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters. Time to celebrate! 🪩🕺

No day is too rainy for science – not in Paris! 🇨🇵 🌧️ Yesterday I had the pleasure to speak about mechano-chemical self-organization in cells and embryos at École Normale Supérieure.

I am back from the X International Conference on Computational Bioengineering, held at TU Wien, Austria, last week. Sebastian Fürthauer organized a terrific minisymposium on Collective mechanics of cellular scale processes, to which I contributed a talk on my “theory of solitude” in living matter. Thanks Sebastian for the invitation!

Amélie Leforestier presented our work on DNA toroids at the 7th International Soft Matter Conference in Osaka, Japan. 🗾
