Thank you to everyone who has supported TLM talks. We will be back in Ocotber with some new exciting talks. We have plans to incorporate short talks by students and postdocs, fill out this form to express your interest forms.gle/34vMwQNVGnvm.... Have a nice summer 🌅

(1/10) I am excited to finally share our work on avian left/right symmetry breaking with you. We reveal a tissue-scale active torque dipole generated at the Hensen’s node, thanks to crazy experiments by Julia @juliapfanzelter.bsky.social and some analysis by me. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

An active torque dipole across tissue layers drives avian left-right symmetry breaking

Unlike in mice, frogs, and fish, left-right (L/R) body axis formation in avian embryos does not arise from the chiral beat of cilia. Instead, a counter-clockwise tissue rotation around Hensen′ node, t...

Had a great time meeting other EMBO fellows and discussing the ups and downs being a postdoc. It was nice to walk away inspired from all the conversations and training sessions. Thanks @embo.org for bringing us all together
