Hi #ScienceMastodon, time for an #introduction!
I'm an #EvoDevo biologist interested in how tissue #mechanics influences the #evolution of #morphogenesis. I study a deep and mysterious epithelial invagination that forms at the head-trunk boundary of #flies during #gastrulation, known as the #CephalicFurrow (see video below!). Currently, based in Germany as a postdoc in the Tomancak Lab at MPI-CBG. Looking forward to meeting you!
@bruvellu Welcome! By the way brilliant work on that miniature annelid [1].

@albertcardona Thanks! It was a really fun project to work on :)
