Yesterday and today we had the pleasure to participate to a meeting of the very multidisciplinary French community working on biominerals and biomineralization. Very stimulating. @BImpmc  @IMPMC_Lab  @beamm_team #biomineralization

Here we go for 3-day science festival, and we look forward to seeing you at our stand: minerals at the crossroads of disciplines. @Impmc @Sorbonne_Univ_

After our participation in the SUAVES project, the team was invited to the opening of the exhibition “Research without filter. Photographers' views on science and the humanities”. A wonderful exhibition to be seen during the weekend of the science festival at Sorbonne University

Yesterday, Jeanne Caumartin from the BIOMIN group, publicly defended her PhD about the formation of modern microbialites under anoxic conditions. This was remarkably well done. Congratulation to her. @CarbonneMa28039, @DEEMteam_Orsay

Pr Andy Knoll (Harvard) gave a seminar on the history of #multicellular #eukaryotes and its link to Earth’s physical history, using physiology as the bridge. Watch the seminar on youtube: https://youtu.be/qTNAbghNcj0#multicellular#eukaryotes#geobiology #EarthHistory @BImpmc @IMPMC_Lab @DEEMteam_Orsay

Rounding up this year of seminar, Lia Giraud is describing some of her wonderful projects at the interface of Art and Science in this talk on " Processus biologiques et techniques à l'oeuvre" (in french) https://youtu.be/TiiGSobSNmM

If you missed the great seminar given by Dr.Assaf Gal from Weizman Institute on "Biological control over crystal morphogenesis", you can now watch it on youtube ! https://youtu.be/S20Vq2S1Cew

Here is the wonderful seminar by Dr.Marie Albéric (LCMCP, Sorbonne Univserity) at our lab on "The concomitant role of amorphous calcium carbonates and organic molecules in forming colorful single crystalline biominerals with convoluted porous structures" https://youtu.be/rUnKxcRp3nA

Congrats to our postdoc Neha Mehta @mneha123 for winning the first prize for her poster at #MTB2022. She presented her work on intracellular carbonate formation in #magnetotactic #bacteria @beamm_team @IPGP_officiel

Neha Mehta @mneha123 presenting a poster : Mineralogical and Geochemical controls on intracellular amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) formed by #magnetotactic bacteria in Lake Pavin at #MTB2022 Bayrouth

🚨Paper in #ChemicalGeology by Debrie et al. : Mapping mineralogical heterogeneities at the nm-scale by scanning electron microscopy in modern Sardinian stromatolites: Deciphering the origin of their laminations. https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1ff6A26gafvnJ#ChemicalGeology#stromatolites...

If you missed the seminar by Karim Benzerara (@karim_benzerara) about "When mineralogy meets bioinformatics: the case of the #biomineralization of amorphous calcium #carbonate by #cyanobacteria", it is now on our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw6pkT8ZEQ4

It's happening now... seminar by @karim_benzerara about links between #bioinformatics and #biomineralization.

Interested in knowing how #bioinformatics can inform #biomineralization processes, join us for a seminar by  @karim_benzerara at 10:30 AM ( CET) on July 4th. DM me to get the zoom link. @IMPMC_Lab

Our latest amazing seminar by Dr. Sophia Houari (@HouariMejri) on multi-scale analysis of #Enamel ! You can watch it, as well as our previous seminar on our youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00z5PA5gA1U&t=5s#Enamel#biomineralization

Our lastest seminar was by Dr Clara Chan (@microbestalker), University of Delaware, about Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB), with an exciting multidisiplinary approche ! You can check the video on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXXqozyaD8I

Glimpse of exciting research going in our group, presented at the research day at @IMPMC_Lab #stromatolites #cyanobacteria #proteins #hydrothermal #geomicrobiology

We had a very nice seminar by Prof. Jake Bailey (Univ Minnesota) last week about polyphosphate accumulating bacteria and formation of phosphorite. You can check the video on our Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/KG26sC6WXXQ
