Not sure to understand that book cover, but eh, why not?

Spending 50% of my energy trying to detect use of AI while I'm grading reports of my students. What a time to be alive 💀

Attending a talk by a researcher from Israel without a word about what is happening in Gaza is highly disappointing. I was expecting better of the ESEB community. Really sad. #eseb2025

Rarely do I get to post about mastodons on Mastodon #ScienceMastodon #eseb2025 @ecoevosocial

So far disappointed by talks this morning, but I was super positively surprised by the great talk of Aja Tengstedt presenting issues of studying genomic adaptation to on reindeer worldwide #eseb2025

Let's start! #eseb25 It's huuuge with almost 2000 people!

Leaving Lausanne for the #eseb2025 in Barcelona, doing my fair part in local tourist hatred. I'll try to communicate my highlights here :) So eager to see friends, and discuss #evolutionarybiology of #insects !

Super happy to see my latest work finally published! In this study, we show how the *Drosophila* immunity field has largely overlooked a key factor: the role of food composition in infection outcomes. Our results show that methylparaben (Nipagin) acts as an antibiotic, significantly reducing […]

Recently published a study I'm very proud of! We wanted to understand the variability of symbiont-derived protection of aphids against parasitoids. 🦠🦠🦠 The experiments involved a massive work of symbiont transfection. We do not confirm the initial hypothesis of highly specific […]

Henry Youn #biology25: microbiomes might be able to adapt to environmental changes faster than hosts: could host insects benefit from the microbiome’s fast evolution? (I wonder whether it could lead to maladaptation of the host to the microbiome?)

Huge work from Karina Gutiérrez-García of the Ludington Lab. This is a wonderful paper for anyone interested in microbiome, even beyond fruit flies https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp7748#supplementary-materials
