🚨L'ENS de Lyon recrute un.e maître de conférence qui rejoindra le CIRI pour développer ses recherches sur l'immunité bactérienne, les transferts horizontaux et les MGE. 📖 Une très belle opportunité d'enseigner à des étudiants brillants tout en menant des recherches excitantes !

Have you ever heard that women have more chances than men of getting grants or positions in academia? Of course you have, and here are my personal views on this. With the shocking revelation that no, it is NOT TRUE ! (1/n)

New year, new #pathosystem! Yes, #Aeschynomene evenia can be used as a model to study #legume_Immunity — together with #Aphanomyces euteiches, the pea grower’s worst nightmare. Check out our preprint on bioRxiv : www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... . Special congrats to @madeleinebaker.bsky.social !

Latest preprint from the lab!

WE GOT FERNS, folks. I hope you like ferns. If you don’t, just listen and you will like ferns. 🌿🌿🌿 Dr. Li is hilarious and charming and you will love him. And ferns. In conclusion: ferns. www.alieward.com/ologies/pter...
