Together with Mathieu Hanemian, we're searching for an undergrand student (Master or Erasmus internship, final-year engineering student) to explore the effect of intercropping on the soil microbiota. If this sounds interesting to you, please reach our with your CV and a motivation letter!

Internship objectives The main objective of the internship will be to determine how intercropping modifies the composition and functions of the rhizosphere microbiome associated with each cultivated species, in comparison with sole crops. The intern will also seek to identify common microbial signatures across different intercropping systems in order to highlight potential general mechanisms associated with plant diversification. Particular attention will be paid to the functions potentially associated with the observed changes, based on the identification of microbial taxa and targeted qPCR analyses. The intern will participate in the entire analytical workflow, from molecular biology procedures (DNA extraction, PCR, preparation of sequencing libraries) to bioinformatic data processing, statistical analyses using R, and biological interpretation of the results. The results will contribute to identifying the microbial mechanisms that may explain the agronomic benefits of intercropping and may help guide the development of new agroecological practices.

With the escalating impacts of climate change, drought stress (DS) is significantly decreasing water accessibility and availability, causing substantial direct and indirect economic repercussions within agricultural systems. Addressing the needs of a growing global population necessitates urgent advancements in breeding DS-tolerant crops while maintaining high yields. This urgency demands a fast and adaptable defensive strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of DS on crop productivity. Accelerating such developments requires leveraging advanced omics-assisted breeding (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), genetic engineering (e.g., transgenic technology, and genome editing), machine learning, precise phenotyping, crop wild relatives, and speed breeding. These fast-forward methods present highly promising avenues for the design of future crops that can withstand DS pressures. In summary, we propose an innovative approach termed the “OGS trio,” which encompasses omics integration, genetic engineering, and speed breeding. This trio stands composed to transform efforts against DS, offering significant potential for developing drought-tolerant crops to achieve and food security amidst climate change.

🧪 What is TFA, and why has EFSA updated its advice? TFA can end up in food, soil and water. After reviewing new evidence, EFSA has lowered the safe level for dietary exposure by 3.5 times. Evidence shows #TFA can affect thyroid hormone levels. Learn more: link.europa.eu/BjyknW #FoodSafety #PFAS

EFSA lowers safe level for exposure to TFA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has reduced the safe level of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the diet based on new scientific evidence. TFA is a breakdown product of some pesticides.

Western Europe had its hottest June on record.🔥 Intense heatwaves broke temperature records, with peaks up to 9°C above average in France and Germany, according to Copernicus data. Only Cyprus and Malta had normal temperatures. Climate change is here and we are feeling its effects

Map of Europe showing average surface air temperature anomalies for 18–30 June 2026 compared with the 1991–2020 average. Large areas of Western and Central Europe, particularly France, Germany, Benelux, northern Italy and surrounding regions, are shaded dark red, indicating temperatures up to 9°C above average. Lighter orange and yellow shades show smaller positive anomalies across much of the rest of Europe. A colour scale at the bottom ranges from -9°C (dark blue) to +9°C (dark red). The map includes Copernicus Climate Change Service and European Union logos.
