Fantastic outreach by @maitrejl.bsky.social et al, who have brought Biology Quest (En Quête de Bio) of the @sfbd.bsky.social to Japan! Want to bring model organisms into your primary schools? See www.eqd-bio.org or contact me or @drosopachea.bsky.social . French, English and other languages!

Merci pour votre accueil si généreux! C'était un vrai bonheur de partager notre passion pour le développement embryonnaire avec les enfants et de voir tant d'étoiles dans leurs yeux🤩!

🔬Des scientifiques au #lfikyoto pour éveiller la curiosité de nos élèves ! Avec « En Quête de Bio », nos élèves se sont glissés dans la peau de scientifiques pour découvrir les mystères du vivant, de la drosophile au poisson-zèbre. Merci @sfbd.bsky.social 💙🤍❤️ @michaelrera.bsky.social #biologie

En Quête de Bio aka Biology Quest traveled to Kyoto thanks to @maitrejl.bsky.social, @sfbd.bsky.social and collegues! Now reaching 6666 kids with the participation of more than 100 volunteers in 4 years! If you want more info: www.eqd-bio.org, or contact me or @bardinlab.bsky.social

Come join us in beautiful Roscoff for this Conference Jacques Monod on Developmental regulation: from molecular to ecological niches May 18-22, 2026 Roscoff, France Abstract deadline: January 31, 2026 Apply here: cjm.sb-roscoff.fr/en

Our new paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using 3D reconstructions and volume measurements in Drosophila wing primordia, we show that growth can be uncoupled from cell proliferation and uncover a new time window for growth arrest. With @leopoldlab.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biol...

A switch to non-proliferative growth sustains Drosophila wing development during the early pupal stage

Using precise tissue volume quantification, El Marzkioui, Gaugué, et al. show that wing primordia continue to grow during the early pupal stage, a phase of increased cell volume driven by insulin/IGF ...

My PhD work is out in Science Advances! We show how DPP drives tissue morphogenesis by encoding local mechanical programs iteratively, unraveling a self-organizing mechanism linking morphogen gradients to tissue dynamics. www.science.org/doi/full/10.... #DevBio #Morphogenesis #Drosophila

Automorphy as a self-organizing DPP-dependent process that translates patterns into mechanical programs during Drosophila embryogenesis

Automorphy gets the morph into the morphogen.

This month marks the 3-year anniversary of En Quête de Bio outreach launch, created with @bardinlab.bsky.social and the support of the @sfbd.bsky.social ! By the end of the week, we'll have passed the 4,500-child milestone, done it in 16 cities, with the help of 72 volunteers! www.eqd-bio.org 1/2

We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

We are deeply grateful for her visit, her passionate commitment to the fight against cancer, and her support for Institut Curie! 🙏

Ready to flight back to Paris after amazing time in San Diego and at #Dros25! Thanks to all the the @genetics-gsa.bsky.social organizers for this fantastic meeting! Glad to met some old friends and new ones!

Proud of our postdoc @drosopachea.bsky.social Bénédicte Lefèvre for her nice talk at #Dros25!

Hi #Dros25! I put some card games from our outreach Biology Quest on the origami table! Help yourself! We still have some with us to spare so contact me or @bardinlab.bsky.social if you want one! More info here: www.eqd-bio.org

Pavel Tomancak asks everyone who uses FIJI in the crowd to stand ... and dammit, 90% of the crowd stood. What a testament to the power of such tools. #DROS25

Hey @genetics-gsa.bsky.social #Dros25 attendees! Want to come chat about professional development and/or your career goals? Want to play a round of @bardinlab.bsky.social's Biology Quest or @pged.bsky.social's Share Your Stance? Come visit me in California 3 - if the door's open, I'm in!
