How can mechanics constrain the evolution of shape or be a source  of morphogenetic innovation? The Qbio initiative at Institut Pasteur is organising a two-day symposium in the campus on December 12th and 13th 2022 which will cover the interplay between mechanics, evolution, morphogenesis and development.

This interdisciplinary symposium will combine a large range of approaches (morphometric analysis, modeling, soft-matter physics, comparative morphogenesis, epistemology) and diverse organisms (plants, yeast, algae, cnidarians, insects and vertebrates) with diverse and excellent speakers. This symposium is meant to be an open platform for discussion between physicists, mathematicians and biologists on relevant biological questions, and to foster interactions between topics/systems which normally have few occasions to interact.

The full program can be found on our website https://neuroanatomy.github.io/MeMoDEvo .

Registration is free but mandatory (before November 14th): https://forms.gle/TTLdHmJf1Ajr8bvr9

We are writing to draw your attention to the upcoming March Meeting of the American Physical Society in Las Vegas (March 6-10, 2023). We are organizing a session on Biological Fluid Mechanics of Transport, Growth and Actuation (02.01.20). 

Sessions at APS consist of several 10-minutes talks. We will have a long invited talk by Jake Socha (Virginia Tech) on fluid transport in insects. 

One of our goals is to get contributions from diverse and complementary communities, across biomechanics, applied mathematics, and engineering to bring fresh viewpoints and exciting new problems to the audience of APS March meeting, traditionally focused on soft matter, non linear and statistical physics. 

The deadline for abstract submission is October 20, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. ET. Abstracts can be submitted here: https://march.aps.org/attendees-presenters/abstracts

Organizers: Joel Marthelot (IUSTI), Martin Brandenbourger (IRPHE) and PT Brun (Princeton University)

This Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials is mainly dedicated to Ph.D. students andEarly Career Investigators  (i.e. researcher whose career spun less than 8 years since the date of the PhD) and aims at sharing new advances and breakthroughs as well as fostering the community of young researchers in the field of acoustic metamaterials. The third SAM will be organised around 6 different sessions comprising 20 min talks and plenary lectures.

The goal of this 2-day workshop is to understand the role that machine learning can play in understanding glasses from a fundamental perspective. The workshop is open to all and will take place at Collège de France (rue d’Ulm). Registration is free but mandatory (before September 30) at:
