Several people noticing high scoring projects that didn’t get funded in the latest MSCA round with a success rate below 10%. But not questioning the system… Seems like we’re well and truly hitting the Szilard point where the total cost of competition exceeds the money available.

#Meetourmembers Happy New Year! 🎉 Today, we would like to introduce our PhD candidate, Ronja Hulst! She came from Grunn with a smile :) Follow her on Bluesky to learn more about her work: @ronbaas.bsky.social

@julietteluiselli.bsky.social et al. introduce a mathematical model of genome size evolution, showing that the noncoding fraction of the genome is shaped by biases in mutational neutrality, and robustness selection arising from structural mutations 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf315 #evobio #molbio

#meetourmembers! Today, we would like to introduce our newest labmate: Juliette. She joined us from France just last month! Add her on Bluesky to follow her work: @julietteluiselli.bsky.social !!

Hi everyone! We are the Evolutionary Modelling Group! We are interested in many topics, from the evolution of microbial mutational robustness to the evolution of language and culture in humans. We rely on a variety of methods, both computational (evolutionary simulations) and mathematical.

🔥 Nouveau format d’interview 🎤 La Minute Blaise Pascal continue ! Découvrez le parcours de @julietteluiselli.bsky.social, doctorante INRIA Beagle (INSA Lyon), son regard sur les maths et l’informatique, et sa passion pour l’innovation scientifique. Likez, partagez et abonnez-vous ❤️

Very happy to have had the opportunity to present my work at the CMSB2025 conference ! My collaboration with Manuel Lafond is published in the proceedings if you want to have a look 😊 link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

I'm very happy to present a poster tonight at #ESEB2025 discussing how mutation rates and population sizes impact the evolution of genome size and structure !
