If you have a question about this talk, please contact Anand Srinivasan .

Embryo tissues are active soft matter that self-organize into various shapes (morphogenesis). In this view, they may execute morphogenetic programmes by spatial-temporally regulating either tissue stresses (moulding a playdough), or tissue mechanical properties (pre-patterning an origami). Which strategy do embryonic tissues prefer? What constraints could determine how these strategies evolve? Using recent examples in our lab, I hope to facilitate a discussion on these questions.
