La différence entre le genre de trucs qu'il dit et ce qu'on rapporte dans les médias est frappante. On 'normalise' son comportement en donnant de la structure et du contenu à ce qu'il dit. C'est un phénomène intéressant toute cette banalisation dont il bénéficie. D'autres exemples sont connus?

Another way in which Denmark is helping the US!

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

Are we allowed to celebrate anything with all that is happening down the border, to our friends and colleagues, and the fear spreading across the continent?

Muller’s ratchet but for an entire society, in real time.

Going to the gym is risky!

Worrying about the copyright of published scientific figures we would like to use for teaching is so dissonant when you could legally use generative AI to produce ones that are based on stolen material.

I have been screening bioRxiv preprints for a few months and one thing I noticed: many of them don't have page numbers.

Potential reviewers who decline to review a paper probably know they can’t do it in 14 days. Those who agree also know they can’t but they know no one actually can do anything about it. Should we be more honest to get more people on board?

New in #GENETICS: Using deep mutational scanning to create a mutant library and measuring protein–protein interactions, @christianlandry.bsky.social and the team determined the in vivo binding strength of motifs that bind to the SH3 domain in #yeast mutants. buff.ly/uOXTpZG

We had an amazing @official-smbe.bsky.social satellite meeting in Puerto Varas. Great science, colleagues & Patagonian experience. Thanks the organizers @pablo-villa.bsky.social et al & SMBE for putting this together!

As a Montrealer, this makes me so proud! 🙌 “Though other cities offer bike-sharing programs, “Montreal revolutionized the trend,” TIME wrote, calling Bixi’s technology “the backbone” of bike-sharing services in cities including London and New York.” montrealgazette.com/news/bixi-bi...

Want to be our colleague? We have a faculty position in microbial systems biology looking for candidates. Please share. www.rh.ulaval.ca/emplois-disp...

The meeting has started and the venue and science are just perfect! Happy to see old colleagues and meeting new ones!

I would have needed that this morning while biking and being nearly hit by a Tesla whose driver was eating a croissant rather than holding the wheel!

Massive investment in science in the upcoming Canadian budget would send a strong message that rationality and reason should lead the world, not charlatanism. People will return to science-based policies and health measures, and countries that have not given up will have a strong economic lead!

New grant season, new CV formats. Thanks #CCV

Adaptation is less accessible through mutations in promoters than in coding sequences when large effect sizes are needed https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.09.675213v1

Really excited to share our latest paper led by @simonaube.bsky.social. Fascinating results examining whether regulatory mutations can lead to adaptation as fast as coding mutations do. #mevosky #evobio #evoSky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We have several open positions in my group, funded from the ERC Grant on the Early Sequestered Germline of Fungi. We search broadly for applicants at both PhD and master-level, with a dedicated interest in fungal evolutionary biology. Please forward and RT! Find the positions here: su.varbi.com

The richest country in the world turning its back on knowledge and rationality. Now, the richest province in Canada looking in that direction too.

Has anyone encountered DNA fragments that were hard to clone because “toxic” in E. coli? (Not because of expression). Any tools to detect that? #microsky
