🧬 🔎 Ce 17 novembre a eu lieu la journée du consortium ABRomics à l’Institut Pasteur. L’occasion de présenter aux différents représentants de nos parties prenantes l’avancement du projet et les développements en cours !

De mon côté on m'a confié le micro pour la chronique sciences. Cette fois j'ai décidé de parler du fonctionnement scandaleux de l'édition scientifique, peu connu en dehors des labos : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg2C... Mais 4 minutes c'est court, alors j'ajoute quelques ressources ci-dessous !

Dimanche dernier @ladernierenova.bsky.social était de retour à Toulouse. L'invitée de l'émission était @docteur-drey.bsky.social donc je recommande chaudement d'écouter le podcast entier : podcasts.nova.fr/radio-nova-l... @laradionova.bsky.social ...

Know metagenomics and could spare 2 mins? I'm applying for funding to build a visual repository for metagenomic classification data (not sequence data). To support the application, I have a short 2 minute survey and it would be a big help if you could fill it in: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It was a really nice week working on building MiCoReCa, a catalogue of resources (tools, workflows, etc) for microbiome research, and more importantly networking with the large @elixir-europe.org community. Thank you all! See next year!
