Don’t miss out! Last weeks left to register for the Plant Computational Biology Workshop 2025, sponsored by us here at @qpb_journal Deadline 31 July - slcu.cam.ac.uk/computational-… #plantscience #modelling

Our new paper is out! 1/16 How does an organ rebuild its shape after injury? It's not just about making new cells, but aligning them in the right direction — like bricks shaping a structure. cell.com/current-biolog…

The Camelot paper is now published. If you ever wanted to try biomechanics, Camelot is an inexpensive and easy way to get started. @matmajda @N_Trozzi @RobertBellow link.springer.com/article/10.118…
