They might not be flying, but it's certainly falling with style... Many species in the family Ommastrephidae are known as flying squids. They use their siphons to launch themselves out of the water and glide above the surface of the water like a squid rocket. #SQUIDtember

If you're having a stressful day, why not sit back, relax & immerse yourself in the reconstructed soundscape of a Jurassic forest. Based on ingenious analyses of the fossilized wings of extinct insects, from a paper in latest issue of @pnas.org. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... (Sound up, obviously.)🦗🔊🧪

Hi, we are organizing a book presentation with Brette on September 23rd, 2026 and a reading club of the book. In case you wanna participate, let me know here or write me: julio.alcantara-carrera@pasteur.fr

Is the brain a computer solved in 4 posts so that we never have to talk about this again (please please please). 1. It's not the same physically as a computer - it's made of meat. Hopefully this one at least is uncontroversial.

In this @braininspired.bsky.social episode, @yoginho.spore.social.ap.brid.gy argues why neuroscience should ground concepts such as agency, intelligence and consciousness in principles fundamental to life, not as detached algorithms and computations. www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...

Johannes Jaeger explains why we should care that brains and AI are not the same

Living beings must continuously regenerate themselves and judge what’s important to continue living. Artificial intelligence does not and cannot.

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

8 hours. That’s all fish need to heal wounds 🐟⏱️ Why are they so fast compared to humans? I break down the science of rapid regeneration in a microscopy story 🔬 Watch here: youtu.be/Mt9f61adaP0 #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy

Our paper on convergent evolution of land crabs is out in its final final form. The journal didn't pick my image as the cover, so I'm sharing it here because it must be seen! academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic... 🦀🦑🧪

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Drone photography creating a wonderful illusion! Shooting during early morning or late afternoon with the low sun is necessary to project shadows that are elongated and darkly defined! The black cast of shadows from the giraffe are amazing.
