DESCRIPTION:\nIt has long been argued that genes encode shape though how t
 hey might do so remains largely not understood. Exploring the dynamical fe
 atures and mechanisms of tissue shape changes and tissue growth in Drosoph
 ila this talk will develop the notion that information rests on three pill
 ars: genetics/biochemical activity\, mechanics and geometry. I will contra
 st and seek to integrate two general modalities of information flow drivin
 g morphogenesis: inherited information executing a deterministic program a
 nd information resulting from non-equilibrium self-organisation across sca
 les.\nI will illustrate this in the context of tissue flow in embryos and 
 tissue doming in the developing wing. The talk will emphasize the importan
 ce of geometry during tissue morphogenesis.
