Curious about science! PhD student with @maitrejl at @institut_curie Paris, Prev.. UG student researcher at LeptinLab @EMBL
Current: Studying membrane mechanics in preimplantation mammalian development aka “pulling membrane tubes from mouse embryos”
- One the most lovely combinations of science and art I have been to in a long time at Musée d’Orsay☺️✨ by the @manuelthery.bsky.social #cytomorpholab
- Reposted by Shivani Dharmadhikari#LivingArchitectures We put cells and cytoskeleton filaments on the architecture of the musée d'Orsay. www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/agenda/ev... Scientists of the #CytoMorphoLab adapted their protocols to illustrate the questions that keep them awake at night. -> Two shows on the 24th and 25th of January.
- A fun way to recover embryos on a grey Parisian day 🌧️🐭
- Spent a memorable summer at Physiology course at @mblscience.bsky.social Very coooool science with some lovely people! Thanks @brangwynnelab.bsky.social and @gladfelterlab.bsky.social for being amazinnnng course coordinators! 🧵
- started with skills week with - @tanner-fadero.bsky.social , @jlazzaridean.bsky.social, Deepak Krishnamurthy, @chueschen.bsky.social, Veronica, David and Bob

- Reposted by Shivani DharmadhikariWe may not have really squared the circle — but we came close! 😉 In our @NaturePhysics paper w/ @fakhrilab.bsky.social, light-triggered membrane excitability enables programmable shapes — a step toward engineering living matter. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #biophysics #syntheticcell #softmatter
- Is there a pattern of how they arrange in the drop or have I been staring through the microscope for far toooo long? 🧐😁#beautifulembryos

- Reposted by Shivani DharmadhikariA woman studies embryos for decades, struggles for funding and respect. She publishes under her husband’s name, until they divorce. A single mother, she moves across an ocean to continue her studies. It all sounds quite modern, until you learn that she also worried she’d be burned as a witch. 🧵 1/15
- Lovely work on shape evolution! Check out the story below:)
- The evolution of shape diversity through the lens of physics—explored in our new paper! A fruitful collaboration between our lab @EMBL, Salbreux’s lab @unige & others, led by @BailleulRichar1—now independent at @ENS_ULM—& Nicolas Cuny. bit.ly/3WRqdEa
- As a biologist, we have to often choose colors and the way of representation of data..but Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s plant illustrations are amazing and Nicholas Rougeux's collation and post processing and representation of data is beautiful! Lots of amazing stuff! check here - www.c82.net/work/
- Interesting topic and a lovely lab to work in! Don’t miss out on the opportunity!
- Our lab has multiple open positions for post-docs to study the regulation and function of cytoplasm mechanics during embryo development. Details below 👇👇 Please Repost !!! @ijmonod.bsky.social @cnrs.bsky.social
- Such an important way of progressing in any scientific question, yet so undervalued!
- There is the beast of the year! Little hunting 🐙 And the beauty by Manon’s lovely heart! Its nice to be a part of the yearly tradition! 🎄

- Check this riddle out!!☺️
- An interesting read! An article from John Hopfield on how he chooses to work on the next question(now what?)… a question, as a scientist we often ask ourselves! pni.princeton.edu/people/john-...
- Reposted by Shivani DharmadhikariLooking for a tag to localise fluorescent proteins to the plasma membrane? Unsure which tag might work in your species? We generated a toolkit of 11 membrane-localising tags, which can be screened rapidly by microinjecting mRNA in your species of interest. 1/4 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- Early mouse morula! Almost two years ago, I imaged my very first mouse embryo and since then I haven’t gotten over the funny apical domains (cyan)😍 nostalgic :) This beauty was part of the first immunostaining, I did when I joined the lab! #fluoroscentfriday
- First snow of the year!! For someone who was used to 30 degrees all year along, snowing is special❄️🌨️ I will try to work today😉
- Hatching blastocyst! When you fix the embryos wayyyy later than you wanted to, because you got caught up;) still a beautiful one though 😉☺️
- The embryos usually have to hatch from the shell (zona pellucida) that surrounds them because as they grow, because of the growing lumen (blastocoel).

- Reposted by Shivani DharmadhikariCouldn't find one so made a quick physics of life list, enjoy! go.bsky.app/EA2VsDNat://did:plc:4r6khvkkt4wqz6iofl2eowsg/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lau6mdsfba2q
- Fun movie of the cell surface of mouse morula. Jiggly protrusions, now the task of quantifying them💪 Any suggestions!?
