Reading this, it seems to me that the ADA leadership should go. But it is unfortunately very typical of the many institutions that collaborate instead of defending their values.

To be honest, as far as I can see, many people in academia are acting as if nothing has changed, or as if they will quickly recover 'after the midterms'. For instance, I have seen many people (students, profs) declining positions in Canada to go to the US.

Fantastic thread, but even if this costs me a lot, I will absolutely root for Spain this Sunday because ‘football is life’ (also everyone was rooting for Argentina in 2022 because ‘it would be bad for football that France wins twice in a row’, I hope football fans are self-consistent 🤣)

I had the honor of giving a keynote at the International Conference on Machine Learning last week. I addressed the widespread anxiety about how we should adapt as AI capabilities increase. I was thrilled by the talk’s reception, so I have made my slides available www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/tal...

One thing I find more and more unbearable : having to enter detailed addresses and phone numbers of all co-authors when you submit a paper. It takes forever and journals absolutely do not need any of this.

This proves once again that the best teams at the beginning of the tournament rarely make it to the end (and, conversely, the future world champion often starts very badly)

New paper 🧵 What if the "landscape" that guides cell differentiation isn't fixed, but is sculpted, in real time, by the very cells moving through it? We call this a 'sandscape' : grains of sand that carve dunes as they move, while the dunes' shape simultaneously steers where the grains go next.

Du coup, le Plateau est prêt

He is formidable, and I really hope they win the trophy on July 19th because they are all fantastic.

lol devastating. This is exactly how all profs should move here on out, in-person finals with paper and pen. ChatGPT your way outta THAT one.

Haven’t been at such a massive meeting in a long time ! #ISSCR26

‘An embarrassing one to concede’ according to the BBC

Completely deserved, this is the third huge opportunity. Allez les Diables Rouges !

Cette coupe du Monde est incroyable, maintenant je soutiens les Belges, les Anglais, et le Pape.

Kind of amazed by some reactions on the Balogun stuff. It is neither normal nor common to give such a pass to the host team. In France 98 Zidane, Blanc missed 3 games overall because of red cards (and Desailly got one in the middle of the second half in the final)

Everything in place for a US-Argentina final with the France-Paraguay referee at the whistle !

arrest this ref if he ever even thinks of buying a baguette or a little bit of pâté, he doesn't deserve anything good and French for as long as he lives

Pas le premier match du Canada que je regarde et pas la première fois que l’on voit l’équipe faire des erreurs vraiment basiques (eg dans le repli défensif sur le deuxième but).

C’est vraiment bizarre de voir comment certaines tendances de la vieille extrême droite catho/royaliste française (Jean Raspail, Lefebvre… ) resurgissent dans l’actualité US (via JD Vance notamment).

Always striking to me that some people do not seem to get the fundamental differences between coding on the one hand and (life) science on the other hand. That said we see fewer and fewer claims that AI is a few months away from solving cancer.

Guys, guys!!! I think I have figured out a solution. I call it "German AC"!

Confession en rapport avec le Reskeet précédent : pour échapper à la canicule à Paris je suis allé voir le film De Gaulle, et j’ai vraiment bien aimé (et beaucoup appris aussi, par exemple sur Darlan et Bir Hakeim)

We are only just beginning to understand what Charles De Gaulle really meant when he said “Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals” & “Vive le Québec libre” 🤔🇨🇦

Dans une étude récente, Miklós Csűrös, propose un nouveau cadre statistique pour mieux comprendre l’évolution des premières formes de vie sur Terre. 👇

#INFORMATIQUE | 🧬🔍 À l’ère des mégadonnées, on pourrait croire qu’accumuler davantage d’informations mène à de meilleures réponses. Pourtant, en biologie évolutive, trop de données peut au contraire éloigner les scientifiques de la réalité.

Amateurs de velo montréalais, faites entendre votre voix. Pour en avoir parlé avec beaucoup d’étudiants (qui comparent les villes), notre réseau est VRAIMENT un atout.

“I have done all of the things that one is supposed to do to earn a tenure-track position. And I have done approximately 85% of them by typing prompts into a large language model and then moderately editing the output.” 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant 👌🏽 open.substack.com/pub/inprepar...

Congratulations to the brand new Dr Leah Friedman ! A fantastic defence (despite being the hottest day in Paris ever … so far). It has been a great pleasure to collaborate with Leah over the last 2 years or so.

We are the 99% 🤣

28 ans après (et deux étoiles plus tard), les concours en pleine Coupe du Monde, une forme de retour aux sources. Je ne suis pas stressé (c’est ce que je me dis)

Traveling in summer is becoming as crazy as traveling in Winter . One of my last winter travel : snowstorms in Montreal, then snowstorm both in Montreal and Reno on the way back. Current travel : huge thunderstorm in Montreal, then heatwave in Paris !

This is... I mean, just read it. Whether you like football or not.

It often feels that many things are getting worse those days but I did not expect such an obvious example !

As Editor of @dev-journal.bsky.social I get asked "What are you doing about your impact factor?" In our new editorial we say: Ask not what Dev can do for the impact factor. Ask what you can do for Dev's IF The IF is about how we all cite, review & assess each other's work doi.org/10.1242/dev....

First pre-print from the lab, a collaborative effort led by Jess Bourn @bournsupremacy.bsky.social, a fantastic PhD in my group. We resolve a key problem in development + evolution: how do we quantify heterochrony and link temporal variation to phenotype? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Bon avec ça, même s’ils perdent le prochain match, le Canada est quasiment sûr d’être au moins deuxième donc qualifié ! Extraordinaire !

I feel that there is something strange with the ball used during this World Cup. The goalkeepers are collectively doing way too many hand mistakes and they all seem very surprised by some trajectories.

One of the world's most tightly controlled experimental evolution projects is underway in DC, and I hope someone has had the foresight to collect a time series of algal samples. www.cnn.com/2026/06/16/p...
