Cela montre surtout que la science est sans frontières ! Pour la lauréate, passage par une formation de trois ans à @polytechniqueparis.bsky.social, un doctorat aux États-Unis et finalement une carrière d’une berge à l’autre de l'océan Atlantique.
Oui mais les deux travaillent dans des universités américaines…

This 2012 electron microscope video is from James Tyrwhitt-Drake, a scientist at University of Victoria’s Advanced Microscopy Facility. In order, you're looking at: An amphipod (~5 mm = 5000 microns) A diatom (50 microns) A bacteria (1 micron). Life at every scale! (📷: James Tyrwhitt-Drake)
Congrats!!! Wonderful for her, good catch for @inserm.fr and too bad for for @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social
I am delighted to share that Caroline Dillard has been appointed as a permanent INSERM Researcher in my team to develop her research program on how innate immunity contributes to carcinogenesis. Congratulations, Caroline! We are thrilled to welcome you and look forward to the discoveries ahead.
Les nouveaux critères d'éligibilité de l' #ANR 2027, c'est juste pour nous dégoûter et nous faire chier encore un peu plus pour restreindre le nombre de dépôts parce que franchement, je ne vois vraiment rien de vertueux dans cette nouvelle usine à gaz #ESR anr.fr/fr/detail/ca...

Our new paper is out in @nature.com! We uncovered how a naked mole-rat queen 👑 controls an entire colony: a natural contraceptive scent that suppresses reproduction in other females! A remarkable mammalian parallel to bees and ants! 🐝🐜 @garyrlewin.bsky.social youtu.be/enfv3zJrWKM?...

Oh yes I remember you presenting this fascinating story last year in Les Treilles, amazing biology!
For me this paper is a career highlight..truly astonishing biology! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Much deserved!!! Surf the waves, ignore the low tides and look far to the horizon.
I am super happy to have been selected as one of the new #FENSKavliScholars! Happy to be a voice of France, Greece and Cyprus, as well as one for Drosophila research! The first encounter with the rest of the extended scholar group has been an energy rump up!!! @institutducerveau.bsky.social
Beautiful talk from @irenemiguel-aliaga.bsky.social, #ISSCR2026 plenary speaker & @dev-journal.bsky.social Associate Editor, on sex differences & plasticity during reproduction. Especially enjoyed the emphasis on fruit flies as powerful models for studying biology! Learn more about this work below⤵️

My first paper is up on bioRxiv! We asked a simple question: why are fruit flies smaller when they grow up in a crowded vial? #Development #Plasticity #Drosophila

Say hello to @hansonmark.bsky.social, one of our new #ListerPrize2026 Fellows 👋 Mark's research helps explain the evolution of key host defence genes – antimicrobial peptides – and how animals can activate their production. Learn more 👉 mahansonresearch.weebly.com
Promouvoir les possibilités pour les jeunes chercheurs est une bonne chose, mais cela doit se faire par des financements permettant l'établissement de leur propre ligne de recherche en toute autonomie (sans se diluer dans 10 collaborations).
Congrats all! And big up to Zayna, Dafni and Tom! @zaycha.bsky.social @drosostalis.bsky.social @tomtom-auer.bsky.social

Over the moon! It's an incredible honour to be named a Lister Prize fellow. And excited to begin this project! We will be building genetic tools (esp. GAL4/UAS) in #Drosophila testacea, a non-model mushroom-feeding fly with a *natural balancer chromosome* to study immune evolution 🧬🪰🍄 1/2

How do dozens of distinct muscles emerge from the same pool of precursor cells? Our new Science Advances paper uncovers the developmental logic that coordinates myoblast identities to build diverse muscles. 📄 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #DevelopmentalBiology #Drosophila #Muscle
Spatiotemporal control of myoblast identity drives muscle diversity in the Drosophila leg
This study reveals how muscle diversity arises in flies, enabling the complex movements that drive animal behavior.
