In a better world, we'd give professorships to people who like being professors 🤷🏻 Grateful to all the people who trained me and proud of the few I've gotten to train

Congrats to Caroline on a VERY nice thesis work!!!! #phage #phagesky

"Meanwhile, researchers continue to confront molecular details of such byzantine complexity that some of them are abandoning hope of any theoretical understanding, concluding that only AI can sort it out—not by offering understanding but by replacing one black box with another"

@mikeduncan.bsky.social 👀👀👀

Tryin to finish the year in style 😎

My boss is in a new documentary!!! You should check it out because, I don't know if you've heard but phages are pretty cool 😎😎 #phagesky

Well, I know what I'm doing the rest of the week @matthewcobb.bsky.social

We were at the "Phages in Nancy" meeting last week and had a very fun time! You can read all about it on this tread 🧵 #phagesky

Vented a little, might delete later 🤷🏻 Just don't shit on the double helix, ok? (The discovery, not the book ...... you can shit on the book, that's up to you)

I really dislike that I feel like I have to "stick up" or whatever for a reprehensible human being like Watson (maybe that's on me and I should just keep quiet) BUT, repeatedly seeing the man described as a failure is CRAAAAZY revisionism and a serious case of "what have you done for me lately"

TL,DR We had a good time visiting some of our Portuguese colleagues this week, where we talked #phage and ran into some old and new faces Our visit had it all: good science, good food and even an unexpected seismic drill You can read all about it on this thread 🧵

Look, they gave your boy a mic and a captive audience, they should've known it was gonna get pretty silly, pretty fast 🤷🏻

In which we offer our comment on a cool work and (hopefully) start some conversation ✌🏼✌🏼

Happy Nobel prize day!!! This year we celebrate all the PhD candidates who had to learn intracellular staining by looking for foxP3 in their samples 🥲🥲😂😂

Camera crews in the lab today ..... 💁🏻

I like that we posted a real photo of my boss in the office and not a fake one in the lab looking at some nonsensical microscope or something 🤷🏻 NORMALIZE SHOWING REAL SCIENCE!!!

Next time someone asks me if I'm enjoying my time at @pasteur.fr I'm just gonna show them this flyer that I got on my inbox today They're announcing the presentation of a new flow cytometer like it's Bad Bunny dates or something This place is run by nerds and I love it so much 🤓🤓😍😍

#meettheteam If you've been following us for a bit, you might recognize this member of our team, who was featured on our very first post Nicolas Dufour is an associated researcher who splits his time between the BBH lab and his clinical work at an intensive care unit

Drop a like for your boy It's not like my job depends on it, but it doesn't NOT depend on it 🤷🏻

👏 PROPHAGES 👏 ARE 👏 COOOOOOOOL!!!!!!

#meettheteam A lot of the work for a research lab is not ACTUALLY performed on the bench, that's why it helps to have a good administrative assistant!! At the BBH we're lucky to have Eric Figueroa-Acosta helping us out with the (many) administrative tasks needed for the daily functioning of the lab

💩🦠➡️🐭

ENG #meettheteam 📢TECHNICIANS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF ANY RESEARCH LAB!! 📢, so we're glad to introduce you to Céline Mulet She's been working at @pasteur.fr for over 30 years and for the past 3 she's been at the BBH, helping us out with our in vivo models 🐭 and histopathology 🔬 among other things

📢📢📢 PROPHAGES ARE COOL!!! 📢📢📢

Look who showed up at our lab today 👀 None other than @joshuasweitz.bsky.social and Jérémy Seurat We had a mini reunion with some of the authors in our recent Nature comm paper (sadly missing Sophia, one of the lead authors) Thanks for the visit, exciting things coming from our collaboration!!

#meettheteam Today you get to meet one of our PhD candidates, Ngoc-Minh-Chau Nguyen She's been with the lab for >2 years, working on developing in vitro models to study bacterial infections in the lung. If you've got questions about cell culture or fluorescence microscopy, she's your person!!!

#meettheteam Today we're introducing Nandita Sharma, a Postdoc on the BBH lab and a very important part of our "gut" team She works mainly on Citrobacter (hence the Drigalski agar), using gnotobiotic mouse models and also has experience in CRISPR-Cas systems on Salmonella

Today we're celebrating! Summer is here and it came with a "Groot" grant from @pasteur.fr for Nicolas Dufour (pictured left and who may have hurt his finger during grant-writing by the looks of it) and Quentin Lamy-Besnier (on the right with the cool artsy shirt) Congrats to both of you!!

You know what's great for a heatwave??? Reading some refreshing science (ba-dum-tss) NEW PAPER FROM THE BBH Y'AAAAAALL What's that? You don't f*ck with the scientific lingo? I got you

Going from vet virology to human virology/bacteriology to Phage 🤷🏻

Surprised not to be included in the list 🤔 No. 2, tho 👀👀 #phagesky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The BBH made the leap, y'all!!! @phagepasteur.bsky.social Be on the lookout for some phage content coming your way #sciencesky

Today it's been officially 1 month since I moved to Paris for a job I'm pretty excited about at a top tier institution. I gotta tell you, so far 10/10, no notes, WOULD recommend

Week 3 of moving/starting a new job Currently, the count of newly downloaded apps stands at 9: - Banking (x2) - Transportation (x2) - Lifestyle/eating (x2) - Office needs (x2) - Dating (x2) - Communication (x1)

Going through some old strains in the lab Always a wild time! #phage #scienceskeet
