I was fortunate enough to attended a workshop on "Cell Mechanobiology" organised by Rene de Borst, which took place April 1st and 2nd, with support by the Royal Society at Chicheley Hall.
This meeting was set out to bring together experimentalists, and experts in modelling to investigate how to develop a joined up language, projects and start collaborations.
A set of sketchnotes on the individual talks is to follow ....
