Softbites

Softbites needs your help! We are looking for new crew members and new writers. If you want to gain exposure in the #softmatter and #scicomm communities, join us now! We need writers, reviewers, community managers, etc. Please spread the word!

We've been quiet for quite a while, but today we are back with a new story! This is Jack Llewellyn's first piece about a #microfluidics device having a spleen crisis! #softmatter #scicomm #ScienceBitesBlogging softbites.org/2023/08/29/spl…

🚨Together with L. Ramos, @garethmckinley & @emanueladelgado, we are organizing a summer school on #SoftMatter & #Foodstuff in July 2024 @IES_Cargese. Join us next year in Cargèse! Registrations & full program available➡️ softfood.sciencesconf.org; RT appreciated! cc @SoRheology

The Rheology Comics Project, an SoR Venture Fund Winner, will produce 4 comics to help readers connect technical details to the joys of rheology. Look for Issue 1, “Rheology of Cats,” which uses the basics of stress and strain to ask if cats are solid or liquid!

@DivouxLab @MMOI_LPS @Gulliver_lab @Olive_Free @ESPCI_Paris @a_berut @g_durey @Alexis_Darras It's out! rheologycomics.github.io #rheology #comics #SciComm

Poke @DivouxLab @MMOI_LPS @Gulliver_lab @Olive_Free @ESPCI_Paris @a_berut @g_durey @Alexis_Darras Have a look at this cool project: they are looking for translators for some #rheology comics! If you know French translators, spread the word!

Ever wanted to blend into your surroundings? In our latest post, Emily tells us how research on electronic skins has gotten us one step closer! softbites.org/2022/12/07/bio…

What happens if you get too bent out of shape and you can’t recover? If you’re this microscopic marine animal, maybe you’ll use that to clone yourself! Andrew @tandrewton tells us more about our break-dancing sea-dwelling friends. softbites.org/2022/06/29/tri…

Super excited to co-host a @softbites17 info session with @tandrewton at @UMassPSE this afternoon!

So grateful to be a part of the @softbites17 family! Privileged to work with an amazing group of curious, talented, and engaged scientists. Want to be a member of the team and practice your sci comm skills by writing about soft matter? Reach out and I'll tell you all about it!

Are there any early career soft matter or biophysics researchers out there who'd be interested in giving a short guest lecture about their work in my Experimental Methods in Soft Condensed Matter class? DMs open!

Softbites has been away for a while - but we’re still around! Things have been slow but it’s still a joy (we’re not being tongue-in-cheek!) to write and edit for all of us.

How much do you know about frog tongues 😛? In today's post, Pierre discusses the interplay of softness and stickiness needed to catch those pesky flies. softbites.org/2022/03/03/don…

Register for the first APS DSOFT Gallery of Soft Matter competition by Jan 14, 2022 (5 p.m. ET). Winners will have their soft matter research artwork highlighted in @PhysRevE, @PhysicsMagazine & 2023 March Meeting T-shirts! For more details 👇

Help @a_jollyette start GeneBites!

Hi! I'm working with @science_bites to start a GeneBites site. If you're a graduate student or other early career scientist interested in writing about genetics for a general audience, please message me! 1/6

✨SciCommBites is hiring!✨⁠ ⁠ SciCommBites is looking for our inaugural cohort of authors interested in translating the latest #scicomm #sciengage research into summary articles for our blog!⁠ Learn more at scicommbites.org/apply! @science_bites @scicommtrainers

Hello world! We're thrilled to introduce ✨SciCommBites✨, a summary digest for research in science communication, public engagement, and related fields - and a @sciencebites project with @scicommtrainers! ➡️ scicommbites.org/post/hello-wor… #scicomm #sciengage

Arthur and Anaïs presented the galaxy @science_bites talking about their experience at @softbites17 & @_MicroBites! Thanks @ComsciconFra for inviting part of the @_MicroBites team - @ClemJ18 & @ABiclot

Today, we’re training French speaking PhD students about “starting their scientific blog” during the workshop #ComSciConFra21 @ComsciconFra 🔥🚀✍️
