@RoyalSociety University Research Fellow @EdinburghUni @PhysAstroEd. @ERC_Research StG on Topologically Active #DNA Materials. Always learning 🧬
I can't say how happy I am to have been awarded an #ERC Starting Grant from @ERC_Research! With possibly one of the shortest acronyms ever.. my TAP ("Topologically Active Polymers") project aims to create new polymeric & #DNA-based materials that can change #topology in time 🇪🇺
NEWS: ERC Starting Grants worth €677 million awarded to 436 excellent early-career researchers. Discover the details. erc.europa.eu/news/StG-recip… #ERCStG 🇪🇺#EUfunded

Lovely night at the @LeverhulmeTrust Philip Leverhulme awards!
Experiments and simulations of DNA nanostar hydrogels reveal that microscopic topology determines macroscale elasticity in amorphous networks. @Dmichiel1 nature.com/articles/s4156…
It doesn't happen every day to be highlighted in @NatureMaterials! Thanks @emanueladelgado, this made my day ❤️
Excited about discoveries of topological motifs in complex network materials! If you have not read the beautiful paper by Giorgia Palombo, Simon Weir, @Dmichiel1, and Yair Fosado nature.com/articles/s4156… yet, please do! This is just my teaser … nature.com/articles/s4156…

Such a pleasure to present our work at the meeting of minds @royalsociety! It's always satisfying to see shocked faces in the audience when I state that we have enough DNA in each of us to travel to the end of the solar system several times!
Not sure who's left here at X but in case someone is still interested in #softmatter and can see this on their feed. 🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢 Pretty cool story about topology and rheology or "Topological (visco)elasticity" 🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢 nature.com/articles/s4156…
“One- and two-particle microrheology of soft materials based on optical-flow image analysis”. Our new article (with @FabioGiavazzi @manuescobedo @squishycell1) in @softmatter shows you simpler way to microrheology pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…
The LAMMPS Tutorials organization has a new logo, inspired by the official LAMMPS logo. This update comes as we prepare for an upcoming publication using LAMMPS, and a major update of the LAMMPS tutorial website. Check it out: github.com/lammpstutorials
For those few still on X who may care about this. "Kinetoplast DNA: a polymer physicist’s topological Olympic dream" out in @NAR_Open @AlexanderRKlotz @LucaTubiana academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…
A bit last minute but we have proposed an #eastbio PhD project to work on #kinetoplast DNA. Looking for strong candidates! Please RT to motivated students looking to work on weird DNA structures 🧬🪢 Deadline 17 December 2024 findaphd.com/phds/project/e…
New edition of Interdisciplinary challenges (IntCha25) on physics of complexity and life will take place at Heidelberg in 2025 embl.org/about/info/cou… @embl So proud the event keeps gathering ECR for rich exchanges @Dmichiel1 ready for the 10th anniversaire? Previous Editions👇
I often feel like a random walk in this phase diagram
Expert's Dilemma: the more specialized you become, the less open you are to creative solutions from other fields. But the more you explore other fields, the more you risk losing credibility in your home field.
So much fun to try our workshop for the first time today!! @annabelmacg ❤️
Our new workshop 'Crystal Explorers' created by @etomlinson23 and @annabelmacg, was a hit with a fantastic P4/5 class @GorebridgePS , can't wait to see how your classroom crystals grow! ✨

Don't miss this opportunity!

This video is incredible. Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.
Today we celebrate the first PhD from the lab. Dr @CleisBattaglia 🔥 Well done Cleis. It feels we are a proper lab now ❤️ and how nostalgic to remember how it all started...
