Check out and come participate in our symposium on "Biomimetism – From biological to bio-inspired photonic materials" as part of the themed session "Insects as Solutions" co-organized with @bodowilts.bsky.social

Is it me or is the sense of entitlement getting worse with each gen??

elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... Reviewer#1 nails it - there is NO such thing as an "asymmetric compact hexagonal packing" and it is IMPOSSIBLE to predict iridescent colors without the barbule cortex thickness that usually never gets preserved. This is just sophistry. Thanks @elife.bsky.social

One week left to submit dossier and apply online on ADUM (collegedoctoral-cvl.fr/as/ed/voirpr...). Pls spread the word...🙏

Good tips www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🥱We all know why this made it into the tabloid...Nice artist impression! 15 years of fundamentally flawed research in making unfounded inferences from impressions of melanosomes. Small mercy they are not attributing iridescence to these "dinosaur-era" critters YET😆 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Do you love bugs? Have you ever wondered what makes insects so colorful or how insects produce iridescence in their scales? Do you have a Masters degree? If yes 😁, we are offering a fully-funded PhD position at IRBI (CNRS/UTours). Come join us!! Applications due 11 April 2025! #ColSci #Bugs #omics
