Oil form droplets when mixed with alcohol, your monolayers dewet to form spherical aggregates, your friends dancing in a club form a circle, why? Iâm @challopeau.bsky.social and I will tell you about the origins and consequences of interfacial tension in tissues.
With a heavy heart I have decided not to attend a meeting in the US this June. I canât act as if things are normal when science, universities, dissent & truth are all under threat. And I feel I canât attend when there are scientists who are not able to travel to the US without fear of arrest.
