#LivingArchitectures Congratulations @manuelthery.bsky.social @lblanchoin.bsky.social and all Scientists of the #CytoMorphoLab for their poetic vision of the microscopic level.

Félicitations à Sylvia Serfaty qui rejoint l' @academiesciences.bsky.social Signalons qu'elle a écrit un témoignage personnel de son expérience de mathématicienne, partageant sa vision et son enthousiasme (aux @editionsflammarion.bsky.social ) editions.flammarion.com/des-equation...

New paper out! We show how mechanosensitive adherens junction proteins link actomyosin contractility to actin assembly using in vitro reconstitution. Huge congrats to Aurélie Favarin, Rayan Said, & all authors! In Science Advances: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #actin #myosin #mechanobiology

Happy 2026! As usual now, jellyfish in Paris @clytia-vlfr.bsky.social

Dias Maia Henriques, Dumont, Maton et al. @ijmonod.bsky.social uncover an #anaphase A pathway, driven by the #kinesin-13 KLP-7 and opposed by the kinesin-12 KLP-18, that contributes to chromosome segregation in early #Celegans embryos. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Mitosis #CellDivision #Spindle

|#research| 📣 Pour faire suite au Sit-in du 27 janvier 2025 à 16h30 devant le Collège de France, voici le compte rendu de la réunion informelle qui en a découlé.

Another MiFoBio is being brewed! 🔬 Abstract submission for proposing a workshop deadline is approaching, by the end of this week. 📆 Registration not yet open, but stay tune

With @bardinlab.bsky.social and so many others protesting against the planned budget cuts of the ministry of research and University.

On veut du fric pour la recherche publique ! Mr le Ministre présentait ses voeux au Collège de France, on était là.

Des chercheurs et chercheuses étaient réunis devant le Collège de France pour interpeller le ministre venus présenter ses vœux aux personnels sur les coupes budgétaires Un petit groupe a été invité à discuter avec le ministre. Affaire à suivre dans @themeta.news ! #VeilleESR

18 camions de CRS désormais. Grosse ambiance dans le quartier latin. C’est devenu vraiment révolutionnaire de demander de l’argent pour les services publics.

Thank you @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social for highlighting our recent work on the mechanisms regulating the development of brain circuits. For more info 👇🏻 and 1/2

Le projet de loi de finances 2025, adopté hier au Sénat, prévoit un coup de rabot conséquent sur le budget de la recherche et de l’enseignement supérieur, avec 630 millions d’euros d’économies. www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/...

J' imagine que la Pr. Combes réagira à la suppression de plus de 630 millions d'euros dans le budget #ESR proposé par le gvt à la dernière minute et voté par le Sénat. Comme l'indiquait @pierreouzoulias.bsky.social c'est une catastrophe pour un #ESR déjà très mal en point dans notre pays
