We.Are.Absolutely.Thrilled! 🤩 Congrats to graphic designer Brian Long @ucsantabarbara for the beautiful cover art!
On the Nature cover this week: Grow with the flow. Tissues ‘melt’ like glass to shape vertebrate embryos go.nature.com/2QLG4Av
Nice technology feature in @naturemethods on how physical measurements in embryos are changing how we understand development and morphogenesis

It has been an honor to serve the Excellence Cluster Physics of Life (PoL) as Managing Director and Speaker for nearly 5 years. We have achieved a lot together, and I am really proud of the team we have created and everything we have done 😃
🎉A new Speaker for Physics of Life!
👨🔬From August 1st, Helmut Schießel has taken over as Speaker & Managing Director of PoL. He succeeds Otger Campàs, who steered PoL through its first funding phase and now becomes Deputy Speaker.

We have an open postdoc position to study phase transitions in embryos and/or biological time, broadly understood. We are looking for experimental physicists/biologists (or similar fields). If you are interested, please email or DM me. Join us! 😀
I am really happy and proud that we established the Suzanne Eaton Awards for Physics of Life! Not only because they honour an outstanding scientist and friend, Suzanne Eaton, but also because it recognizes great scientists in our field. I can’t wait to hear the awardees’ talks 🤩
🏆 Introducing the inaugural Suzanne Eaton Awards for Physics of Life!
👨🔬We're thrilled to announce the 2026 recipients: L. Mahadevan @Harvard and Anna Erzberger @embl who will give their award lectures on 20. November.
