DESCRIPTION:Morphogenesis of biological systems relies on mech
 anical forces at the mesoscopic\, supracellular le
 vel to establish shape. Here I will discuss the ph
 ysical theory of nematic active surfaces\, which d
 escribes tensions and bending moments arising in a
 ctive materials such as biological epithelia. I wi
 ll then discuss how leveraging this theory can all
 ow us to understand the integration of mechanical 
 modules during development\, and how these mechani
 cal modules can vary across species\, using the ex
 amples of comparison of development of cnidarians.
  I will introduce the concept of « mechanical redu
 ndancy »\, showing that several mechanical modules
  can have similar effect on shape determination.
