I am very sad after learning that Jochen Guck passed away. We have lost a giant. Jochen, I will really miss you.

We've got some nice data today... 😊 The semicoated cantilevers just travelled about 1500km

The #25EngLife conference is over and it was great, including the talks by @sarawickstrom.bsky.social, @bladoux.bsky.social and @routierlab.bsky.social. Many thanks to @stefandiezlab.bsky.social and the other organizers🙏🏻

Excellent talks and excellent discussions at #25EngLife with @ismahene-mes.bsky.social 😊

Congratulations to the poster prize winners of the #25EngLife Thank you again for the organisation. It's been a fantastic meeting!

Closing #25EngLife with the beautiful work on Shaping organs through plant tissue mechanics by @routierlab.bsky.social Very smart image/data analysis!

Great work by @bernaozkale.bsky.social on nano robotic microgels for mechanically guiding stem cells differentiation #25EngLife

Fantastic work presented by Lucia Baldauf from @gcharras.bsky.social on force sensors for living tissues 🤯 Looking forward to the upcoming ... #25EngLife

Last day of #25EngLife starts with a beautiful story by Sergi Garcia-Manyes

We close the day at #25EngLife with an inspiring talk by @frankschnorrer.bsky.social Titin rules!

*interesting (not injustement) 😅
