Une avancée dans la lutte contre le VIH et d’autres infections virales grâce à des molécules innovantes par l’équipe du professeur à l’INRS @charlesgauthier.bsky.social : inrs.ca/actualites/u...

My NIH R01 sub-award for HIV research is being discontinued due to US administration policies, effective Aug 1st, 2025. Multiple funding cuts like these can have serious consequences for public health. #HIVresearch

In our latest collection of free #education resources, we explore #carbohydrate_chemistry with Professor @charlesgauthier.bsky.social and Oscar Gamboa from @inrsciences.bsky.social. They are using state-of-the-art techniques to create synthetic carbohydrates. futurumcareers.com/creating-car...

Exciting breakthrough from our lab! We've synthesized potent Lewis-X-containing triterpenoid saponins that block HIV-1 attachment to immune cells via DC-SIGN & L-SIGN, showing promise as antiretroviral agents. doi.org/10.1002/chem...

Exploring new vaccine adjuvants: We synthesized QS-21 analogues with betulinic acid & evaluated their immunological & toxicological profiles. Great collaborative work with Prs Alain Lamarre and André Pichette! @inrsciences.bsky.social

US travel plans? Nope, not on my radar. Maybe never, given the current political climate...

As Canadians, we're feeling disrespected & concerned today. Our sovereignty & values are being disregarded. We urge the international community to stand with us & defend our democracy and economy. #StandWithCanada #RespectOurSovereignty

Thrilled to share our invited review paper "1-Thiosugars: From Synthesis to Applications" in Current Organic Chemistry, part of the special issue "Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates" edited by Prof. Vinod Tiwari. #carbohydrates #glycoscience

Seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join my group ASAP, funded by @glyconet_nce ! Expertise in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry, oligosaccharide synthesis & 1D/2D NMR analysis required. Strong writing skills a plus. Email me your CV! Please share! @inrscience

Woodland caribou: a keystone species vital to Canada's boreal forests! They maintain ecological balance, support biodiversity & store carbon. Losing them would have devastating ripple effects. #CaribouConservation #EcosystemHealth

Wastewater still contains pharmaceuticals that contaminate waterways, contributing to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. By 2050, superbugs are projected to kill more people than cancer. Scientists are at the frontline to combat antibiotic resistance. #WaterPollution

Air pollution kills more than 6.5 million people every year! It also causes chronic debilitating diseases for millions more. Transitioning to renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency, and promoting electric transportation can help reduce air pollution. #CleanAirMatters

Spreading misinformation about the Earth's shape threatens critical thinking. Overwhelming evidence, from gravity to satellite imagery, confirms our planet is round. Greek philosopher Eratosthenes accurately measured the Earth's circumference over 2,000 years ago! #ScienceSpeaks

While chemists have synthesized close to 140 million compounds, there are an estimated 10^60 possible compounds in the universe! That's a lot of undiscovered chemistry! Chemists play a crucial role in unlocking this vast chemical space. #SyntheticChemistry #Discovery

The science is clear: rising CO2 levels trap heat & warm our planet. Primary school students can demonstrate this with a simple "do-it-yourself" greenhouse experiment. It's baffling that some world leaders still refuse to accept these basic facts #ActOnClimate #ScienceMatters

Since the pandemic, people have lost trust in science. Many believe researchers are corrupt. But most researchers have no ties to Big Pharma & are funded by public grants! They set their own research goals, driven by curiosity & a quest for truth. #TrustInScience #EvidenceMatters

Why are scientists underrepresented in politics? It's clear that scientific principles would be a game-changer for managing societies. What's holding my colleagues back? We need them now more than ever to tackle the challenges of our time. #EvidenceBasedPolicy

Scientific humility: Our pursuit of knowledge locally decreases entropy, but are we truly steering the course or following a predetermined path? Is our quest for truth self-directed or part of the universe's larger plan? #Science #Philosophy #FreeWill

With all the recent technological advancements, why do humans still work so much? It's time to rethink our capitalist system driven by profit & greed. Why work for personal gain when we can work for the greater good? Let's prioritize people over profits!

As humans, we lack a unified purpose. In the face of our solitude in the universe, collaboration is our only viable path forward. It's time to revisit our core values. Why work in isolation? Governments must adopt a universal perspective in their policymaking. There's still hope for a better future.

Govern with facts, not fiction. Base decisions on scientific evidence, not misinformation. The scientific community has spoken: Vaccines save live. Climate change is real. Evidence over anecdotes. Science over speculation. Let's build a better future, grounded in facts.
