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.

#CancerGenetics people: I am looking for examples of tumor suppressor genes that are inactivated in cancers by regulatory mutations (non-coding) rather than coding mutations. Please share.

We're hiring! My dept. is looking for a candidate with a research program focusing on plant systems. All areas of molecular and cellular biology research will be considered. Not sure if you'd fit? Reach out to me. Please share! #microsky

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?

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.

The pre-vaccine era was HELL for kids. We have already failed them on gun safety, we cannot fail them on the issue of vaccines. #VACCINES cause Adults!

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

I spoke with Kari Jordan and Erin Becker of The Carpentries about why they declined a $1.5M NSF grant intended to expand data science training. Their decision highlights the growing intersection of #science, #DEI, and federal policy. Read the full story on Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

Sustainable jet fuels could cut flight emissions without redesigning planes. Unfortunately new federal cuts slash funding for the research needed to make them viable at scale, and reduce aviation’s production of 2.5% of global carbon emissions.
