How does food affect the gut microbiome? A new study shows that microorganisms in food may help maintain diversity in the gut. #Microbiome #MathematicalBiology www.evolbio.mpg.de/3875249/news... @florencebansept.bsky.social

Up to 10 doctoral positions at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology now open for application! Start date September 2026. More info here: www.evolbio.mpg.de/imprs

📣 Our group has a brand new website and logo! 🐈‍⬛ Check them out m-3-group.github.io

We are proposing four (!) master internships (M1 or M2) in the group for 2026. Check the details here: flobansept.github.io, and don't hesitate to reach out if interested!

New #preprint! Optimizing microbial intake helps to maintain the gut microbiome diversity 🦠 In this work, we build a model of gut microbial community in which microbes compete for a shared carrying capacity and are regularly replenished through feeding (1/2) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Optimizing microbial intake helps to maintain the gut microbiome diversity

The animal gut holds a myriad of microbes with demonstrated importance for the host's health. Properties of this microbiome have been studied in different host conditions in search of the best biomark...

#StandingUpForScience today, and hopefully everyday for many more years to come. In solidarity with my US colleagues, against facism that is already there, at our door, and against the very real threats that linger over French research ✊️

Rendez-vous vendredi 7 mars ⤵️ Rassemblement à Marseille à 12h devant le Museum d'Histoire Naturelle au Palais Longchamp. Toutes les infos ici : www.univ-amu.fr/fr/public/ac...

📢 Mobilisons-nous pour les Sciences le 7 mars ! 🌟 En écho à la journée Stand Up for Science initiée aux États-Unis, Aix Marseille Université, appelle à des actions de mobilisation le 7 mars !

There will be solidarity demonstrations with the US research community all over France this Friday, March 7: standupforscience.fr In Marseille, the demonstration will take place at noon, 12pm, in front of the Natural History Museum at the Palais Longchamps (standupforscience.fr/tous-les-eve...).

Stand Up For Science France | Le 7 mars, nous défendons les sciences – parce que les sciences sont un bien commun.

Le 7 mars, mobilisons-nous pour les sciences ! En écho à Stand Up For Science aux États-Unis et face aux menaces contre les institutions scientifiques, des actions auront lieu dans chaque ville universitaire de France. Pour participer, rejoignez l’un des comités d’organisations ci-dessous. Jusqu’à présent, 2834 participants ont rejoint le mouvement.

A ‘Second Tree of Life’ Could Wreak Havoc, Scientists Warn (Gift Article)

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

We are proposing two master internships in the group for 2025. Check the details here: flobansept.github.io, and don't hesitate to reach out if interested!

🥳 Today was my first (working) day as a CNRS researcher. Today I feel very grateful for all the mentors, supervisors, teachers and friends who supported me one way or another to get there! 😊 Looking forward to more exciting Science... It looks like a whole career of it 🤩🤩🤩

Scientific seminars are resuming at full speed in the dpt. We'll have two great speakers in September: @florencebansept.bsky.social on Sept 26 to discuss Host-associated microbial communities, and Ahmed Elkoussy on Sept 27 to talk about single cell and spacial genomics data analysis!
