Women and girls in science! Very proud and lucky to have this diverse, kind and creative group of women around me in the lab! @igflyon.bsky.social

Like in any society, diversity matters in Research labs. Based on the science, diversity matters | Nature Computational Science

Our latest findings on social behavior circuits is out: how does the brain responds to social isolation? Terrific work by @dingliu.bsky.social et al. uncovering a circuit with similar neural architecture as physiological needs (hunger, thirst, sleep..). Detailed thread soon. rdcu.be/ebo63

📜 After two days of hard work, below are the lists of CNRS researcher (CR) and director of research (DR) candidates selected for audition by the Cell Bio/Dev Bio/Evo-Devo section (section 22). 👉 CR auditions are Mar 25-27 at Institut Jacques Monod. 👉 DR auditions are Mar 31-Apr 1 at IBPS (Jussieu).

What an epic scientific journey!

Happy 37th birthday to the LTEE! the-ltee.org/history/

Recently completed your #PhD using #Drosophila in a European lab? Apply for the European Drosophila Society best thesis prize! 🏆🪰 Deadline: 28 Feb 2025. Prize = €1000 & keynote presentation at the EDRC in Alicante @edrc2025.bsky.social! Info here: europeandrosophilasociety.org/eds-best-phd...

“ERC succeeds because it’s different. Its simple, tailored procedures allow Europe’s best researchers to thrive. Bureaucratic processes designed for other programmes should not be imposed on it.” @marialep.bsky.social spoke up for an independent ERC with a doubled budget today @europarl.europa.eu

We're excited to announce the 2025 Larry Sandler Award recipient, @peiwei-chen.bsky.social 🎉 This award recognizes students completing a PhD in Drosophila research. Dr. Chen will present the Larry Sandler Memorial Lecture on evolutionary innovation in genome defense at #Dros25 in March. 1/3🧵

Outstanding achievements! 👏Welcome on board @igflyon.bsky.social both and special welcome to @luciebernard.bsky.social in the team. She will open a new research line on the influence of protein malnutrition on juvenile ´s mucosal immunity. Going back to my immunity my first love but now #InMice.

Remembering Theodor Escherich 🕯️ ✝️ February 15, 1911 A pioneer of microbiome science who discovered 🧫🔬the gut 💩bacterium Escherichia coli 🦠in 1885. He was a pediatrician at the Universities of Graz and Vienna and rests in peace at the Hernals cemetery in Vienna 🇦🇹 #microsky #microbiomesky

A great piece of work by the Ferrandon lab to describe the huge importance of Nora virus in #Drosophila stocks. Gut disruption creates susceptibility to coinfection by microbes. Major effects on lifespan, infection, etc... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Much needed fly #virus PSA to boot. 1/2

Just discovered the absolutely amazing work of Irene Miguel Aliaga from @crick.ac.uk at @LS2Switzerland ; who on top of being an inspiring scientist is also into building an inclusive research environment. Added to the list of awesome #womeninscience. cob.silverchair-cdn.com/cob/content_...

Excited and thankful to see our ctenophores at Paris Aquarium 🤩. Very much looking forward to this collaboration to exchange expertise on comb jelly husbandry.

Exciting to see our paper now published 🙌 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... In this project co-led with @ostermanilya.bsky.social at @soreklab.bsky.social , we show that a bacterial immune system employs a TIR protein and a caspase-like protease, two typical immune components seen in eukaryotes. 🧵👇

Out today @ Science: TIR signaling activates caspase-like immunity in bacteria We report a new immune signaling molecule: N7-cADPR. Produced by phage-induced TIRs and activates a defensive bacterial caspase Congrats Francois Rousset, Ilya Osterman and coauthors! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
