We've just been awarded a grant to study the cellular basis of regeneration – to track the progenitors of sensory organs in the context of leg regeneration, in our favourite crustacean tinyurl.com/parhyale, based on live imaging and cell tracking. The project involves some cool collaborations... 1/3

We have a postdoc position available in which we’re using flavivirus replication/molecular biology to make refractory mosquitoes - in collaboration with the Trevor Sweeney lab at @pirbrightinst.bsky.social. Check out the advert on LinkedIn and apply by 12/6. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

A la piscine de ma ville, pour différencier les vestiaires des filles et des garçons, on a mis un petit dessin rigolo. Avec une fille qui a peur et qui sait pas nager. Et un garçon expert et qui s'éclate. Quelle fatigue.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

"Ants solving a geometric problem and it's amazing." This is a great example of 'emergent phenomenon': - None of the ants understand the problem they're solving. - None of them can see the whole shape. - A series of small decisions or rules add up to something with a new layer of complexity.
