New preprint from the lab! We discovered a transient fluidization in the basal region of human forebrains by tracking microdroplets in cerebral organoids.This “basal fluidization”, absent in gorilla and mouse, may contribute to greater surface expansion in human forebrains

Super fun collaboration with @ebisuyamiki.bsky.social
lab to understand the mechanical differences between human, gorilla and mouse forebrain development 🧠 It turns out humans are different! Thanks Miki for making me part of this awesome project! 😀

I have to keep this deliberately vague, but this is a total disaster for academic research.

And imposing it so suddenly is just cruel. I’ve got friends scrambling to get back to the US before midnight tonight. Do you know how hard that is to do on 36 hours of notice?

Trump to impose $100,000 fee per year for H-1B visas, in blow to tech

The Trump administration said on Friday it would ask companies to pay $100,000 per year for H-1B worker visas, prompting some big tech companies to warn visa holders to stay in the U.S. or quickly return.

Exactly, it is a yearly fee of $100k for up to 6 years. It is insane. They are deciding to keep top talent from working in the US. I have no words…

Campàs Lab @campaslab.bsky.social · 18d

I was on a H1B visa for part of my postdoc. Also when I started as Assistant Professor. Several of my postdocs where on H1Bs. This new fee will affect more academia than tech or finance companies because there is no way universities can pay that…

This is indeed a unique opportunity for @ec.europa.eu. But to ensure that „excellence thrives where it is enabled, protected & shared“ the % of funded proposals needs to stay the same (or actually increase). Otherwise it’s just a waste of talent.

European Commission @ec.europa.eu · 27d

The 2025 call for #MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships drew 17,058 applications worldwide.

A 64.6% increase from 2024, it's the most popular call in over four decades.

Excellence thrives where it is enabled, protected and shared — and Europe provides that environment.

Congratulations Ryan and @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social and all the team! 🎉👏 I am happy to have been able to help a bit make this happen. Really useful quantitative analysis for gastruloids and beyond! I am sure it will enable many discoveries 😃

Ryan Savill @cryaaa.bsky.social · 26d

(1/14) I’m happy and proud to introduce: SpinePy – a framework to detect the "spine" of gastruloids and measure biological and physical signals in a local dynamic 3D coordinate system. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congratulations to postdoc Arthur Boutillon at the Campàs lab @campaslab.bsky.social for a beautiful cover image selected for the latest Development issue @dev-journal.bsky.social!

Development @dev-journal.bsky.social · 29d

Issue 16 is complete!

On the cover: Embryonic eye of an anole lizard stained for nuclei and F-actin. The image was acquired at the 2025 MBL Embryology course by Arthur Boutillon and was the Editor's choice from the Node image competition.

Inspired by @deniswirtz.bsky.social and team, I'm collating a database of #PhD and #postdoc fellowships in the #EU. I'm standardising the information an entry needs, making it easier to (1) search and (2) contribute - and I would appreciate input, especially from other #ECR! Please share!
