Connaissez-vous l’origine des diverses COULEURS DU MIEL ? Savez-vous qu’il existe un miel rouge qui provoque des hallucinations et un miel bleu/vert produit par des abeilles qui ont butiné des bonbons M&M’s ? Tous les détails dans mon nouvel article tinyurl.com/37cxcm4k

Rêver sert-il vraiment à quelque chose? Je vous en parle avec @bigbangstation et @didiermesgard ! - Régulation émotionnelle - Apprentissages - Créativité 🧠🌙 🎧 À écouter ici 👉 bit.ly/4pB7GIZ

L’expression "acidification des océans" me gêne, car ce milieu est basique (pH>7). On devrait parler de la diminution de basicité: le pH a baissé de 8,15 à 8,05 entre 1950 et 2021. "L'acidité des océans a augmenté de 30 à 40%". Il faut préciser qu'il s'agit de la concentration en ion hydrogène.

Our new workflow maps whole human fallopian tubes at single-cell resolution. In healthy FTs, we detected (many) STIC precancerous lesions. We can also simulate virtual sectioning as done in the clinic and show how current protocols undersample FTs. More here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Using a new workflow, we map ciliated (green) and secretory cells (pink) that line the epithelium of whole human fallopian tube. With age (menopause), the number of ciliated cells decreases and the number of secretory cells increases. More here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We have developed a new workflow to map whole human organs at single-cell resolution, while integrating spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. We applied this workflow to map precancerous lesions of the fallopian tubes. More here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Had the pleasure of visiting Okko Räsänen’s lab at Tampere Univ. Gave a talk on our work on computational models of speech acquisition and served as the opponent in the PhD defense of María Andrea Cruz Blandón, an impressive body of work. Congrats to her & the group, a great place for research!

Olivia Du Roure at the PMMH Lab, ESPCI, for the Gulliver Seminar. The title of Olivia's talk is "Complex Materials Viewed as Problems in Population Ecology” and the abstract is below. The seminar will take place in the Gulliver seminar room C1.62 at 1130 on Monday 22nd September.

Très belle exposition avec beaucoup de pédagogie sur le torque, son histoire et l archeologie expérimentale! Bravo !

📚ÉDITIONS DU CTHS 📘👨‍🔬🧪Découvrez l'ouvrage "Albin Haller", publié aux Éditions du CTHS avec le soutien de @espciparispsl.bsky.social. À l'appui d'archives inédites, ce volume nous éclaire sur la trajectoire singulière de cette figure méconnue. ➡️Se procurer l'ouvrage : cths.fr/ed/edition.p...

It's #FluorescenceFriday! Another movie from our preprint, showing exocytosis of VAMP2-pHluorin (live-cell TIRF, blue) correlated with 2-color STORM of spectrins (green) and clathrin-coated pits (magenta). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

With the caveat productivity is defined as the number of papers published, it's notable to see that the gender and English proficiency gaps are about the same overall. Then the gender gap decreases along the career, while the English proficiency gap widens

New NeuroCyto preprint about to drop! @wiesner-t.bsky.social 😎⏳

🚨New preprint alert! The thalamus has long been seen as a relay of sensory signals to cortex. But could it also generate its own structured activity? Our study explores this question in the head-direction (HD) system. Some explanation 🧵👇 1/13 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Following up: searching for the distribution of estrogen receptors in the brain, I realized the Allen Brain Atlas is male only. How is it possible that something this fundamental is still missing?
