Félicitations à Anja Geitmann, vice-rectrice par intérim aux relations internationales, qui à l'honneur ce soir à #Bravo2024 . En 2023, elle a reçu le Prix la preuve par l'image de Acfas 👏🎉 McGill Macdonald Campus Geitmann Lab Plant Science McGill

Together with Gabriella Mosca - Biomech. mod. of Morphogenesis Eric Neiva Hervé Turlier we organise a 1st workshop on Finite Elements for Cell & Tissue Morphogenesis, featuring distinguished speakers.
We now accept applications from master & PhD students & postdocs, please spread !

It was a great experience to put this exciting focus issue together in collaboration with co-cell-wall-afficionado and Plant Physiology editor Tony Bacic.

Thank you to all the authors for their fantastic contributions!
