Départ à la retraite de #Champollion. La cour d'honneur du @college-de-france.fr est un peu triste 😢 #EtCeFutTout

Assises de génétique humaine et médicale dans la grande salle Louis Lumière du palais des festivals de Cannes🤘 #Epoustouflant! #RobertoBenigni #DoubleHelix

List of new NCCRs is out. For the yet to come project in humanities, I suggest a multidisciplinary sociological, psychological and political study to understand why all funding goes to Zurich 🙄 www.sbfi.admin.ch/fr/newnsb/JE...

A night in Geneva 🎸🎷🥁

Took a therapeutic visit to the very poetic (and anonymous) grave of Alfred Jarry (1873-1907) #CimetiereBagneux. As a last wish, he asked for a toothpick. He, more than any others, anticipated 130 years ago, the current situation. Cornegidouille! 🤘#UbuRoi

La vente de Davos est en route (OK pour moi)

Many congrats to the two 2026 laureates of the Jeantet Prizes!👏💐

Spent the last 5 days to think/write a point by point responses to referees. Over 250 papers, it makes 3.5 years of my career spent in arguing like a weeler-deeler (with various outcomes)🤔🥸

Snowy white everywhere in Paris today. The right time to see the splendid exhibition Pierre Soulages at Luxembourg museum 🙏. An urgency, in fact.

Champollion les pieds dans la neige @college-de-france.fr 🥶

😢 Watch again Le Mépris, master piece from Godard, extraordinary with M. Piccoli in the living room of the Malaparte house, in Capri, with red roses on the table and Faraglioni through the window. Unforgettable. #EtDieuCréaLaFemme #BébésPhoques

Who can identify in the mirror the gentleman taking the pict (with moustache and a Hox-proofed 5 digits hand) ? (@vanderhaeghenp2.bsky.social disqualified).

No pasaran !
