👩‍🔬J'ai commencé un kit de démarrage "chercheuses en France" go.bsky.app/TBEzKC #FemmesEnScience J'ai besoin de votre aide pour le remplir et donner de la visibilité aux chercheuses que vous connaissez et qui sont sur Bluesky ! ▶️Taguez celles que vous connaissez, je les ajoute !

DYK: #suicide claims over 720,000 lives every year? Each life lost leaves a profound impact on families, friends, colleagues and entire communities. This #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, let’s talk openly about suicide to challenge harmful myths, reduce stigma and foster compassionate conversations.

@zachhensel.bsky.social and I have a new paper on the origin of SARS-CoV-2! 🧪 There are a lot of reviews on the topic already, so we tried to do something different: characterize "lab leak" scenarios, and directly address those on SARS-CoV-2's furin cleavage site.▫️1/9 doi.org/10.5802/crbi...

Visite avec @mclemardeley.bsky.social de la barre Cassan F, dont la réhabilitation en logements universitaires a commencé sur le campus Pierre et Marie Curie ! Un beau projet réalisé avec @paris.fr, qui dotera à terme notre campus du plus grand bâtiment d'hébergement universitaire de la ville.

Still possible to apply to this #post-doc position at CESAB #Montpellier. Application closing date: September 15th 2025 (12:00 PM CET) How taking intraspecific diversity and evolutionary processes into account in translocation-based programs. Please share widely #PopGen #NbS #Biodiversity

Another side effect of lists that I had not identified when I posted that warning ⬇️: Public lists also allow stalking harassers to follow your posts without following your account. It'd be great to be able to tune the visibility of lists, to avoid such hijacking. @safety.bsky.app

In under 24h following the newly identified outbreak of #Ebola in the DRC, the virus has been isolated, sequenced and the virus sequence data made publicly available. virological.org/t/the-16th-e...

You may have missed this #ant poster at #ESEB2025, but be sure not to miss the article just published in #openacess in @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The minutes noted that “everyone was searched, including their vehicles, on the grounds that researchers might be carrying mosquitoes in their pockets.” #IDsky #malaria 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out. Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

Here are all the talks I attended and sketched at #ESEB2025 ! Only a fraction of the 642 speakers at the conference 😮 I had an absolutely amazing week chatting about lots of fascinating science #sciart #eseb #esebcongress @eseb2025.bsky.social

Congratulations, @richardsever.bsky.social ! royalsociety.org/news/2025/08...

Congratulations, @arambaut.bsky.social !!! royalsociety.org/news/2025/08...

The plot thickens! I just found what seems to be the original version of the paper. It wasn’t just AI generated, it was plagiarised. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Next ESEB meeting will have an innovative format, across four hubs. The aim is to make it easier to avoid plane travel, and to diversify the locations that can host a meeting #ESEB2025 #ESEB2027

Aurelien Tellier presenting the details of #eseb2027 which will be a hub meeting, with connected and local sessions in 4 hubs (Gothenburg, Munich, London, Istanbul) eseb2027.org #eseb2025

Incredibly moving session this morning for the EUEA awards at #ESEB2025. Thanks to the Equal Opportunity committee for helping us try to understand the enormous challenges that some of our colleagues are facing

Incredible presentation from Sophia EO prize winner #eseb2025. Let’s hear her call for our evolutionary biology community to support trans colleagues facing such challenges.

Final words of the last #ESEB2025 plenary by @jmappes.bsky.social: "Science moves forward when we keep both our curiosity and our humility"

To be, or not to be, part-time in academia? This is a tricky question that has faced many of us and in @elife.bsky.social we discuss the benefits and challenges of being part-time. With @emiliapsantos.bsky.social and a fantastic, interdisciplinary team! elifesciences.org/articles/106...

At the end of his #ESEB2025 plenary on deep-time palaeogenomes, Love Dalén shared his history of trying to obtain a big grant for his work. It eventually worked out!

Welcome to our Global South mixer today at the morning coffeebreak at #eseb2025! You can find us in the EO social corner (left back-corner of the poster room)! Come network and chat with like minded people!

The small populations symposium at #ESEB2025 is attracting a large crowd (🥁)

I'm not very good at live posting (I tend to overthink my posts and then lose track of the talks). For #ESEB2025 live posts, I recommend following @marcrr.ecoevo.social.ap.brid.gy and @mrtnj.bsky.social, who have been good at it at every conference I've attended with them

This week, the capital of Evolution is Barcelona! Over 1900 evolutionary biologists are gathering for the biennial meeting of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology, coorganised with its Spanish sister #ESEB2025. Over 540 of us are on Bluesky! You can use these starter packs to connect: 1/n

This week, I may post a lot about the 2025 congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB). Not interested in it? You can mute these posts specifically! Either by clicking on the hashtag (or pressing it on a mobile device), or via Settings > Moderation > Muted words and tags.

Biologists, virologists, evolutionary biologist, and public health experts have much to learn from climate scientists on tackling misinformation. This is the model to follow and the culture to foster:

Folks going to #ESEB2025 : To help people connect on Bluesky, I've started making starter packs. Here is a first one with the names that were available when I started. Ping me if you want to be included in the next one!

I've rarely seen such a concentration of bad faith in an OpEd but here we are. Praising Trump for Wrap Speed but withdrawing the mRNA vaccines because considered risky? Sorry, you cannot have both!

Aujourd'hui comme il y a plusieurs mois, continuer à poster sur X, c'est cautionner ce qu'est devenu le réseau avec Musk www.liberation.fr/idees-et-deb... (demandez-moi si vous n'avez pas accès au texte complet)

"Right now we're developing a universal vaccine at NIH, which is a vaccine that addresses the entire phylum of viruses." OK, so not only does RFK Jr. clearly have no understanding of how a vaccine works, but he also has no idea what he is funding. 🤦‍♀️ youtu.be/DDu6GlzI6zc?...

Adding to this thread a comment on the excuse used for the power grab: NIH grants would have contributed to the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. US-americans like to think of themselves as exceptional, but even if SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab, US funding was not essential to it.

👀

Not unexpected but great to see this effect documented! ⬇️ Thanks for your work and your commitment to open science, @nicolasgaltier.bsky.social and team!

Really, I'd like to understand how these people justify destroying what made the US great. Not the fake arguments of antisemitism or gain of function, unrelated to most of the research being suppressed. What is their aim? Is it anti-intellectualism, without any concern for the broader consequences?

@cnrsecologie.bsky.social regrette profondément l'adoption de cette loi à la vision court-termiste & ses conséquences graves sur l’environnement, qui méprise santé & bien-être de la population & le rôle des espèces sauvages dans la prod. agricole. La communauté scientifique n'a pas été entendue.

A lab is not required to generate chimeric coronaviruses, with a spike of a different virus: they can emerge naturally ▫️1/2 (from newly published paper by Attipa & @amandatron89.bsky.social et al.; preprinted in 2023) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great to read this: "Sleuths “should call out” when their work is used out of context to “advance agendas that harm science”" 🧪

Les avions militaires au-dessus de Paris, c'est les préparatifs du 14 juillet ? Un peu flippant en cette période...

And that paper's @altmetric.com score is the second highest of all times – greater than Proximal Origin's. The "whistleblower" turned out to be antivaxx. Huge responsibility here for the BMJ. bmj.altmetric.com/details/1161...

Infectious Disease Modelling starter pack update! Many more modellers have joined Bluesky recently so this update is overdue. Pls keep on sending suggestions! (bio should contain experience relevant for this pack) IDModelling pack 1: go.bsky.app/86Ao1a5 IDModelling pack 2 : go.bsky.app/2oBB7KX

Le comité SAGO de l'OMS a publié un rapport de 78 pages sur l'origine de la pandémie de Covid-19. Il y a déjà beaucoup d'approximations et même de désinformation dessus. Pour un résumé honnête et instructif, lisez la référence journalistique sur le sujet, Jon Cohen dans Science

Secrets d'info est une émission d'investigation de grande qualité qui fait l'honneur de France Inter. La décision d'en réduire la fréquence de diffusion est incompréhensible. @investigationrf.bsky.social
