Happy to share our new paper about working part-time in academia. We hope it can help to get the conversation going about this important aspect of EDI and research culture. elifesciences.org/articles/1… @eLife @englishse @emiliapsantos @wildhappywell @foxtexel Follows you

This helps to explain how precise morphogenetic patterns can occur across distance in response to relatively small local anisotropies in cellular contractility.

Together, the ability to precisely and reversibly manipulate actomyosin contractility at depth within a physiological in vivo vertebrate system has uncovered rapid, long-range and directional mechanical communication between cells
