To spice things up we will also add some reaction-diffusion 🧪🧑‍🔬 in the form of a Rock-Paper-Scissors 🪨🔜📰🔜✂️ game.

Our printer worked tirelessly for that today 😂

Looking forward sharing the results with everyone !

We look forward performing this experiment with a bigger crowd (ideally 100+ people) to observe more types of defects etc

Please join our crowd 🥺

Very quickly an ordered state appears: a vortex around a +1 topological defect

We asked people to extend their arms and move in both longitudinal directions (acting as a nematic)

This weekend (for Fête de la Science) , 🧪🥳
I'm the circus master 🤡🪄for a participative active matter experiment. 🌊🦿

In essence, dancing with rules💃🕺.

If you fancy being a cell/embryo 🐣 for a while at 4pm Saturday, or 3pm Sunday, then come to the Jussieu campus !!

(It worked with 25 lab members)
