Looking forward to @apsphysics.bsky.social March Meeting next week at Denver to share the lab's ongoing work on emergent dynamics & learning in odd robotic matter + manifold learning in morphogenesis.
Announcing registration for the Fall Symposium at Brandeis for #MicroscopyMonday! #NESM

Our lab has some ongoing data driven/AI/ML in active matter projects that can be supported through postdoc.ucsd.edu/funding/schm.... if you are interested, or if you have some ideas of your own, feel free to reach out!
@tzerhan29.bsky.social et al show topological defects in cell traction forces underlie emergent chirality
They show pancreas derived organoids rotates as an active solid! bsky.app/profile/epim...
Honored to be selected and join the 2025-26 cohort of UCSD Hellman Fellows! today.ucsd.edu/story/larges...
If youβre eligible for a Pew Latin American Fellowship, please reach out to Suckjoon Jun (Pew β13). We have ambitious bluesky projects planned for the next decade, backed by exceptionally strong funding, and weβd love for you to join us!

Looks amazing! Are these mitochondria

Always great fun to brainstorm at our UCSD monthly biophysics forum - let's bring the intelligence into active matter

Textbooks: cell is a bag of weirdly shaped stuff.
Reality: it's all moving & changing shape.

When two grids with a twist make a pattern exist, thatβs a moirΓ©. Listen to this week's episode of Quanta Science Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
Very cool! What happens when you cut two wounds - do they waves interact?
Looking for a reading snack? Our work is featured as a @NaturePhysics research briefing: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Glad to see this work finally out. Happy to have played a small part in this project with teams @fakhrilab.bsky.social @physicsoflifelmu.bsky.social!
Ramin Golestanian (Oxford & MPI GΓΆttingen) visited us and gave an inspiring informal seminar yesterday. ππ»
Four #SPLASHY talks from the lab for #APSphysics March meeting next week at Anaheim, from starfish embryos to robotic active matter - looking forward! #ApsDsoft #ApsDbio #PRX_Life
#standupforscience at UCSD!
APS March meeting coming up: the fun starts Sun 3/16 with Squishy Science Sunday!
Exciting opportunity at @CZBiohub SF! Join us as an Optical Scientist developing cutting-edge light-sheet microscopy to map vertebrate development. PhD in Optics/EE/Physics preferred. #ScienceJobs #Microscopy #BioImaging π§ͺπ¬π»

Stand up for science! Happening this Friday 3/7 - look up for local events near you : standupforscience2025.org most campus nationwide will organize, join if you can, make our voice heard, repost, organize! #standupforscience
It was great visiting UMich Ann Arbor and Wayne State University! Many thanks to @surajshankar.bsky.social and Zhi-feng for hosting. Great interactions and lots of new ideas to try
@nigelgoldenfeld.bsky.social introducing @ucsd-biophysics.bsky.social to UCSD physics open house - welcome prospective students to sunny San Diego!
Schematic overview on how MicroSpit operates. It can split superimposed structures in fluorescent image channels by using a suitably trained AI.
Concrete example for how MicroSplit unmixes four superimposed structures.
Immagine you could image two cellular structures in the same fluorescent channel and still reliably get them separated afterwardsβ¦
What would you do with this?
Nowβ¦ what would you do if that also worked with 4 structures at once? π #MicroSplit #previewπ§΅
Congrats Claire!!
The big 4 of grant writing:
1. Credibility: The topic fits your expertise
2. Narrative: It's clear what is the problem, the solution, and why youβre the right person for it
3. Juicy details: Flex your mastery of the topic
4. The concept: You connect every part to the big question
