Come and join our team! A 2-year postdoc position is available in our "Genome Evolution" department at Univ Paris Saclay. We want to play with phylogenetic models accounting for horizontal transfers of transposable elements. Application& details on the official portal: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

It is probably worth checking whether this is even compatible with their own copyright transfer agreement. It would be equivalent to e.g. proposing alternative definitions of their own in the margins of published papers, alternative wording, etc. without the author's consent.

To be totally transparent, one needs to consider the hidden cost for the European scientific community to write ~ 4000 40+page grants. Assuming a couple of months of work per grant + many days spent on evaluating them, this is > 1000 years or research from experts lost in this bureaucratic process.

Our paper on evolution of plasticity and character displacement in a fluctuating environment is now published as early view in Evolution. Check it out if you're interested in eco-evolutionary dynamics, coevolution... and plasticity of course!

Very glad to see the second chapter of my PhD published in JEB and feel honored that it has been picked as this month's issue "Editor's choice" and cover image! It's been a long and important team effort leading up to these results!

It is frequently believed that cis-regulatory mutations in gene promoters have smaller and less pleiotropic effects than trans-acting mutations in the coding sequence. We could show that this pattern is not a universal truth, as it can only be observed in scale-free regulatory networks.

Based on simulations, we show that the size and pleiotropy of mutations affecting gene expression heavily depend on the structure of the underlying gene network.

Very happy to announce the publication of our latest work by my former student Sylvain Pouzet in @journal-evo.bsky.social: "Gene network topology drives the mutational landscape of gene expression".

Several thousand people today at #standupforscience2025 in Paris.

Wow. This is sooo good. Echoing @urbanevol.bsky.social this user’s manual for Ne should be required reading for popgen and conservation genetics folks. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Happy to announce that I have joined the editorial board of the Journal of Evolutionary Biology @jevbio.bsky.social as an Associate Editor. Hope to contribute as much as I can to the journal and to @eseb.bsky.social .

SpringerNature keeps on creating new outlet after new outlet... Seems like nothing can stop them.
Just like that joke of a guy putting coins into the soda vending machine: "So long as I'm winning, I'm playing"...

But who pays? We researchers are the fools and we seem to like it.
