EMBL symposium: The cellular mechanics of symbiosis, Heidelberg, 2023
The lab took part in a wonderful symposium in Heidelberg. Marleny & Inès both presented their exciting posters on leaf beetle-bacterial symbioses, and Hassan gave a talk on Aileen’s fungal work. An award sash was given to the best poster, which Inès brought home - congratulations, Dr. Pons!

New publication: Adaptive plasticity of insect eggs
The insect egg is a sessile life stage but not a passive one. So how do eggs sense and respond to their environment? And which adaptations allow them to actively shape it? We cover these questions, and a few others, in our latest with Monika Hilker and Nina Fatouros. Out today in the Annual Review of Entomology!
