Margaret J. LowThis morning’s sunrise on the Warwick campus was a truly beautiful and immersive experience, as the sky erupted in a riot of colours. Simply breath taking!

dvdgc13I'm already at #WarwickUni ready for the #RSECon25 week!! This year we've got almost a full day on #OpenSource with @openuk, @curioss, @SoftwareSaved, @turingway and much more!!
Talking about #FOSS, how are you tracking which sessions to go to? If you're on #android, I recommend you get #Gigitty (https://gaa.st/giggity) and add the RSECon schedule (at https://david.ps/sched_ics2giggity/rsecon25.xml)
Some cool things:
- You can hide sessions you don't care to make it less overwhelming
- same app many many conferences

A multi-tiered mechanical mechanism shapes the early neural plate

A multi-tiered mechanical mechanism shapes the early neural plate - Nature Communications
The vertebrate brain forms during embryonic development through mechanical processes that are precisely coordinated in space and time. Here, the authors uncover how extrinsic forces regulate tissue flows and cellular rearrangements to shape the early neural plate during zebrafish gastrulation.
Andrew F.@grayface_ghost One of CS lecturers at #WarwickUni nearly 30 years ago was #trans before we even used the term as we do now.
I'll be writing to them as an alumnus expressing my disappointment:

The edge of a cell: an active mechanosensing membrane
Yean Ming and Rob wrote a review on MT lattice switching. They discuss evidence that protofilament-level structural switching is ancient and fundamental and conserved; and that tubulation creates new allosteric interfaces that operate on essentially the same structural switch.
It was great fun attending #snapshot24 and catching up with @jadga @moenig @SnapCloud and #turtlestitch crew.
I shared From Pattern to Code resources, short videos to give ideas for patterns in @turtlestitch
