- Ah, a jellyfish cleanse! Excellent. I took this video of spotted jellyfish (Mastigias papua) at the Vancouver Aquarium when I was visiting @gelfring.bsky.social, back when @jeanluct.bsky.social had us thinking about fluid mixing by vortex rings. people.math.wisc.edu/~spagnolie/P...

Here are the three new-to-me games which I enjoyed most this year (feat. games by @mathieujohnson.bsky.social @sespagnolie.bsky.social @gmtgames and others)! What were yours? - Reposted by Saverio E. Spagnolie🚨 POSTDOC OPENING 🚨 NIH-funded Bio-Fluid Mechanics Postdoc in my lab @univmiami.bsky.social Hofstenia miamia | cilia-driven flows | behavior & neuroscience Collab w/ Mansi Srivastava @harvard.edu 🕒 Start: Jan–Feb 2026 ⏳ 1 yr, renewable | Email me ASAP! #Postdoc #Biophysics #FluidDynamics
- Reposted by Saverio E. SpagnolieNCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.
- I am looking to hire a postdoc to work with me on fluid-structure interactions in complex and active fluids. Ideally the candidate will have a strong background in numerical/asymptotic analysis and fluid mechanics (complex fluids / LCs even better). www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/26...

- Reposted by Saverio E. SpagnolieNSF email to GRFP applicants from TODAY: you MUST submit official academic transcripts with your most recent academic status! First year PhDs often don't get these until the end of this semester. No clarification opportunity because of government shutdown. Application deadline is next week. 🫠
- Not *one* mention of Plateau-Rayleigh in this article.
- The Federal Reserve faces a blind spot: with the government shutdown halting release of economic data, policymakers must rely on indirect indicators. But the Fed still has a range of private, internal and public data to help it read the pulse of the economy. buff.ly/EBHoigA

SpagnolieReally excited to present the results of a fantastic collaboration with Jesse Veenvliet @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de @poldresden.bsky.social 🤩 We find a unique mechanism for body axis elongation in mammals, different from other vertebrate species ➡️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- Without describing the experiment (soon!), please just enjoy with me a case where a simple model meets the data this well. Oh man. Math, I tell you. Good stuff.
