Happy to be part of this timely collection! Thank you @cp-cellrepsustain.bsky.social for the highlight! Food security is a fundamental human right!

Jazz hands 🤗

👏👏👏

Happy to host Chris Manchur from the Canola Council of Canada, a cornerstone partner in our clubroot and leafhopper research. Great conversations on smart grower investments and turning fundamental science into lasting on-farm innovation 🌿🔬💛

Dernier rappel - La date limite pour soumettre les résumés est le 1er octobre !

Last week our leafhopper taxonomist Nicolas was at @usask.ca training LeafHope-Prairies MSc student Brianne under our co-PI Sean Prager supervision 👨‍🏫 Many cool results soon. 🔬🪲

Our @elife.bsky.social Version of Record is now out 🎉 : elifesciences.org/articles/105... Congratulations to @sohambio.bsky.social , @asimjaved.bsky.social , and @jiaxuwu.bsky.social on this beautiful work. We also wrote an easy-to-read eLife Digest for a general audience 👏

Last day of the @canentomologist.bsky.social LeafHope team 👋🏻🪲 Curious about our latest entomology research? Take a look at these links: 🔗Molligan et al. 2025: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 🔗Santos et al. 2025: academic.oup.com/ee/advance-a... 🔗Jacques et al. 2025: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We couldn’t leave Calgary without visiting one of Canada’s most stunning places. Moments like this remind us why we work so hard for a more sustainable future: to protect this beautiful planet 🏔️🇨🇦🌿

Thanks for the shout-out to our study! 🌿🧬🌞

New from the Lab!

Yes we have a beautiful space!

New collab from the Lab!

Yesterday at the 15th IBIS Day! 💚 ✅Four talks ✅Three posters ✅Four awards #ProudPI 🫰🏼🥺🫶🏻

Happy to see this out! @jiaxuwu.bsky.social, @sohambio.bsky.social & I tackle the growing confusion in clubroot resistance gene naming. We call for a common nomenclature and a shared database to speed up durable resistance 🧬 🥦 Thank you @cp-trendsgenetics.bsky.social for a great editorial process!

New from the Lab!

Glad to see this out! We discussed the confusion around the ever-growing list of clubroot resistance genes and what truly qualifies as the novel ones. The clubroot community needs a consistent nomenclature to keep track of the real progress. @jiaxuwu.bsky.social , @edelplopez.bsky.social

Bye #CSPB2025 ! 🌿An inspiring conference packed with amazing plant science! Thanks to the organizers, @cspbscbv.bsky.social executive, and my team for making us proud! 💚 Special shoutout to Oussama from @leducq-lab.bsky.social / @eplopez.bsky.social for winning the Agrisera poster award! 🏆 #ProudPI

Two more articles in our series on 'Scientific mobility in microbiology' are online now. Read @edelplopez.bsky.social and @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social's mobility-related experiences and their insights here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lTnY,L%7E... & authors.elsevier.com/a/1lTnY_,2Ci...

Am I a model professor or a professor model? 😅

My annual salary in Cuba was $300 USD. I only made it to my first international conference in 2021 because I couldn’t afford it. Now, migration-related fees alone will cost around $500 USD — more than the yearly income of many scientists worldwide. Time to rethink accessibility in global science.

I just published: Stop displaying journal names on your slides A mentoring event at a Congress called for better support of early-career scientists - but what followed sent mixed signals. This blog reflects on those moments and ends with a pledge. medium.com/p/stop-displ...

Honored to share my journey and more importantly, how we can support the next generation of scientists in navigating the challenges of scientific mobility 🌍 Thank you @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social for this initiative and for giving visibility to stories that otherwise would have remained hidden 👏

Scientific mobility in microbiology – 5

Here the article!

Congratulations to my great colleague Wenbo Ma on her election to @royalsociety.org - a well deserved honour in recognition to her contributions to our understanding of effector function and plant immunity. @thesainsburylab.bsky.social

We are delighted to announce that TSL group leader, Professor Wenbo Ma, has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. This honour celebrates her groundbreaking research in molecular plant pathology.

Inspirer la relève! Des étudiants du Cégep ont visité EdeLab et le @ulcriv.bsky.social pour découvrir comment la science contribue à une agriculture plus durable. Merci à Nicolas et Elisa pour leur engagement dans cette mission essentielle. L'@ulaval.ca à l'avant-garde de l'agriculture de demain 🌱

🚨Preprint Alert! Scooped by two other groups due to our lack of infrastructure to grow Arabidopsis, this study started in 2021, is still a great addition to the body of work looking for clubroot resistance in Arabidopsis! 💛 Link: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Hinting our upcoming preprint 🌿

Valérie Fournier et moi avons le plaisir de co-présider le Congrès 2025 de la Société d’entomologie du Québec! Rejoignez-nous les 20-21 novembre à l’ @ulaval.ca pour deux jours de découvertes et de passion entomologique! Infos et inscription ici : event.fourwaves.com/fr/seq2025

Please RT. Post-doc opportunity alert! 💥 Come join our team (thelowlab.org) at Imperial, London, working on bacterial secretion systems. The position is funded by the Wellcome Trust. For more details and to apply please see www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-...

Two fantastic positions in #plantscience: A junior AND a senior group leader position at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI), part of @viennabiocenter.bsky.social. Generous core funding, fantastic plant and non-plant colleagues, all in a very livable and beautiful city. www.oeaw.ac.at/gmi/join-us/...

Please share! It's clear that “understudied models” often remain so not because they lack importance, but because editorial bias prevents them from being recognized.

Our first @addgene.bsky.social deposit is available 🥹 Many more are coming! Open science is the way forward: www.addgene.org/232335/

Cette semaine on a participé au Colloque du CSBQ 2025! Le labo était bien représenté avec Jordanne qui a présenté son projet de maîtrise et Abraão qui a partagé son dernier préprint avec un poster. Un grand merci à RQRAD, LeafHope et CRSNG pour leur soutien ! 🌿🪲

New Preprint Alert! 🪲🌱 Our study on Empoasca fabae in Québec reveals 1-2 generations, early peaks in June-July, and climate-driven shifts in phenology. Our findings will help to predict future outbreaks & IPM in a warming climate, but key questions remain! Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to see our preprint on the structure-guided analysis of the secretome of gall-forming microbes find a home @elife.bsky.social! 🥳 Thank you to my coauthors, especially @edelplopez.bsky.social , for the continuous support and encouragement.
