So proud of my ex-student @robinjournot.bsky.social who got yet another PhD award from the British Genetics Society, thank you very much @gensocuk.bsky.social !!! 👏

I’m happy to receive this prize, and I thank @gensocuk.bsky.social for the invitation. This achievement belongs to the entire @frelab.bsky.social at @institutcurie.bsky.social Grateful to all team members, collaborators and funding bodies who made it happen!

We didn’t want another war. It wasn’t explained why we began a war when Iran posed no threat. After earlier attack Trump said he “decimated” Iran’s nuclear abilities. On this attack he focused on killing leadership. Also bombed a girls elementary school. War for regime change has never gone well

Congratulations to Byung Ho for spearheading this work and our HFSP team! Curious about the formation of networks of thin lumens and some physics behind it? Take a look at the paper. Byung Ho is looking for PI positions and he has amazing ideas and leadership. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our beautiful story on tumour clonal dynamics with barcodes, performed in the @frelab.bsky.social by my super talented post-doc @candice-merle.bsky.social and @ivanditerlizzi.bsky.social from @rulands.bsky.social lab! #barcodes #plasticity

It's been several times that I am pretty sure to witness during reviewer crosscommenting assesment mostly generated by AI (composed of hundred of unnecessary and finicky points that would lead to years of revision). For the human reviewer out there, speak up to editor if you notice this !
