How curvature affects epithelial tissues?
Answer in 5 papers! To understand this, one must first gain control over curvature.

The most logical way of doing this is through scaffolding in vitro — make a shape and attach cells.

I've been doing this for 30 years & I still can't believe that when people ask me what I do for a living I get to tell them "I'm a scientist". It feels like a kid's fantasy career that they dress up as for Halloween, like "astronaut" or "pirate". I feel very lucky I get to do this day in & day out.
