Life without a blueprint (Lendert Gelens, PhD VUB): Lessons from frog eggs
Life is more than DNA. Every living cell is a bustling, self-organizing system where countless molecules cooperate without a master plan. In our lab, we explore this mystery by taking frog eggs apart and watching their molecular “soup” come alive again — forming nuclei, dividing, and even building simple cell-like structures. By combining experiments with physical modeling and computer simulations, we uncover some of the hidden rules that let life build itself and adapt to changing environments. Such work forces us to think differently about life’s origins and what it takes for matter to become living. What makes something alive?
🎸Noisy Nuns (be)
Noisy Nuns are two women sweating behind their keyboards and drums, combining raw energy with incisive melodies.
They have both cut their teeth in the Belgian rock scene, working on projects such as Moaning Cities, Von Dead, SOROR, Dario Mars... and decided, with Noisy Nuns, to create a more personal project, giving free rein to their instincts.
