I just got some GREAT news: my ANR JCJC proposal was funded!! This is my first big grant, and it will allow me to work on my independent research line to understand the intracellular lifestyles of Salmonella iNTS in epithelial cells

Congrat for the all awardees (and sorry for those who didn't get it). Very few awardees from France this year (specially in biology), a result of long term under-investment ? (The less you put in...the less you get).

Read the short highlight commentary I wrote with @enningalab.bsky.social for @molecularmicro.bsky.social about the latest story by the Humphreys lab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... ISG15 and toxins doing cool things during! #Salmonella

ISG15 At the Crossroads of Innate Immunity and Host Survival in Response to Typhoid Toxin

Typhoid toxin, a genotoxin secreted by typhoidal Salmonella serovars, has been implicated in diverse host responses ranging from DNA damage to cellular senescence. In this Research Highlight, we disc...

Our paper is finally out! 🥳 If you want to know how a single Salmonella effector rewires the whole macrophage transcriptional landscape by hijacking one host transcription factor, check our latest research! Thanks to the @thurstonlab.bsky.social and @peterwshill.bsky.social labs for an amazing work!

Salmonella effector SteE reprograms the macrophage regulatory network to drive specific hyperactivation of STAT3 target genes

The ability of Salmonella Typhimurium to exploit macrophages as a niche for survival, replication, and dissemination is central to its pathogenesis. T…

So happy to see this story out! Incredible work on systematically standardizing a good cellular model for iNTS-macrophage interactions, which clearly shows how different Salmonella pathovariants are in terms of intracellular behaviour! @jayhinton.bsky.social

Coverage in the Guardian of responses to Paul Nurse's comments on Musk & the Royal Soc Code of Conduct. Plenty of Nobel Prize Winners defending Nurse and Musk & Fellows seem uncomfortable to be named when they disagree. Also quotes from me & @scurry.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Royal Society president reignites Elon Musk row by defending lack of action

Society should only eject fellows for fraud or other defects in their research, says Paul Nurse

Following coverage over the weekend of Sir Paul Nurse's comments that suggested that the only reason that a Fellow should be expelled from @royalsociety.org is scientific misconduct, I have written to him to explain the risks such an attitude poses of increasing sexual harassment in STEM.

Dear Sir Paul, Re: Royal Society Code of Conduct I am sure that many scientists have written to you about the specific question of Elon Musk’s Fellowship and whether, under the Royal Society’s Code of Conduct, his retaining that Fellowship is appropriate. I will not rehash these issues. Instead, as a female scientist with extensive experience of activities aiming to increase equality, diversity and inclusion in the engineering and physical sciences sector, I am writing to you (in a personal capacity) to ask you to reconsider the statements you have recently made in this context to the UK press about the Royal Society’s Code of Conduct and how it is applied. A 2018 report from the joint National Academies of the United States of America, concluded that “sexual harassment is common in academic science, engineering, and medicine” and that “greater than 50 percent of women faculty and staff and 20–50 percent of women students encounter or experience sexually harassing conduct in academia”. This report described codes of conduct that make clear that sexual harassment is unethical and will not be tolerated as a “powerful incentive for change”. The authors also noted that sexual harassment can have significant and damaging effects on the integrity of research. In my own praxis, I have found that clear and consistently-implemented codes of conduct that address these issues make female scientists and engineers safer, and allow them to focus more effectively on their research. For codes of conduct to have such a positive effect, it is vital that sanctions for actions which transgress the code are meaningful and substantial.

I will be recruiting two postdocs early next year. - One image analyst - one biologist interested in working on lymphatics! Reach out if you are interested 👍
