Together with @emmacacia.bsky.social, we recently hosted a PhD students-oriented seminar on what to include on an academic resume, mostly for early-career positions. If it can be useful to anyone, the presentation's slides are available here: flolecorvaisier.github.io/pres/resume....

New paper published in Infectious Disease Modelling where we study the factors leading to the emergence of new strains of Bordetella pertussis in the United States and discuss methods to analyze longitudinal invasion data! doi.org/10.1016/j.id...

Glad to announce that I started a new contract as Assistant Engineer in the LBBE (the lab where I did my PhD)! I will be working on the transmission of African Swine Fever and how vaccines can impact it.

Months ago, I reported an issue in ggplot2 (github.com/tidyverse/gg...). Glad to know that this issue was corrected in v4.0.0, and what a nice surpise to see my name in the acknowledgements of this new version! www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/09...

Sometimes, while browsing the internet, I come across people wondering what to call Marie Curie. Marie or Maria? Simply Curie or Skłodowska-Curie? I researched the letters, books and documents she signed, and wrote a blog post summarizing my findings. flolecorvaisier.github.io/posts/marie-...

Ever wondered how all the results displayed when printing the summary of a simple linear regression model in R are calculated? No? Well no matter, I made a Quarto document explaining it all. flolecorvaisier.github.io/simple-linea...

Really interesting talks today at the "Modelling tools for vaccination" conference! Such different study subjects showing how modelling approaches are essential to better understand the epidemiological, sociological, ecological and evolutionary consequences of vaccination!

La Malédiction du cloporte: a good read with a nice prose for anyone wanting to learn some interesting facts on the fascinating world of parasitism and other mutualistic relations!

After 3 years, 2 months and 6 days, I finally became a doctor last friday after my PhD defense! Now, time for some rest, and then I will be looking for a postdoc!

Just finished reading Antoine Balzeau's Histoire d'os. While the abstract was misleading (but I blame the editor for that!) the journey was really pleasant. So nice to see research projects/experiences turned into books like that!

Two weeks now before my thesis defense, and I finally finished reading The Origin of Species. What a ride! Now I feel more legitimate doing research in ecology & evolutionary biology. Thank you Mr. Darwin for your book, without you I wouldn't have a job!
