Avec Johann Lavaud du laboratoire LEMAR du @cnrs-bretagneloire.bsky.social nous proposons un stage de Master 2 / fin d’étude ingénieur | Prospection de la chimiodiversité des microalgues arctiques 👉 borea.mnhn.fr/fr/actualit%...

#Nature4Nature, the @mnhn.fr & Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions summer school, is in full swing as the first week comes to an end. Participants are exploring the remarkable potential of benthic diatoms to create ephemeral artworks on the mud."

PCI is at the Ecology & Behaviour 2025 @ecobhvr2025.bsky.social conference this week! If you're curious about the PCI initiative, Barbara Class will be happy to answer any questions you may have on Wednesday morning ☕

Isn’t this PCI Microbiology T-shirt gorgeous? 😎
Unfortunately, becoming a recommender won’t guarantee you one 😜. What you will get by joining @pci-microbiol.bsky.social -> A front-row seat to great open science and a chance to support community-driven research. 🧫✨

💥 The column collapsed — leak, heat, and too much light took it down.

But guess what? It’s alive again — bigger, stronger, and thriving like never before! 💪🧫

And best of all… my favorite purple bacteria are taking over. 💜🦠 Long live microbial glory!

🌍 3.5 billion years in a bottle! A couple of years ago, I've started a Winogradsky column experiment @mnhn.fr #ConcarneauMarineStation. The experiment reveals microbial life’s stunning diversity — and mirrors early Earth’s evolution. Result: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Les lavoirs, souvent laissés à l’abandon, abritent pourtant une riche biodiversité. En Bretagne, associations et scientifiques mènent des travaux de restauration de ce petit patrimoine bâti reporterre.net/Les-lavoirs-... un reportage de @annasardin.bsky.social pour @reporterre.net

🌾 #MICROSERVICES ( #BiodivClim) shows drought boosts soil EPS—protective sugars & proteins—early in wheat growth, but biodynamic soils divert more rhizodeposits and mucilage to microbial biomass over EPS, hinting at better drought buffering.

Un projet @recherche.mnhn.fr soutenu par @mnhn.fr et @borea.mnhn.fr. Un grand merci également @annasardin.bsky.social pour son article et pour la belle journée à la recherche des lavoirs de Brest.

Ce que cachent les lavoirs www.espace-sciences.org/sciences-oue... Regarder attentivement au fond de ces vieux réservoirs peut révéler de très précieuses informations sur la biodiversité qui les habite. La suite à lire dans le magazine #ScienceOuest de @espacedessciences.bsky.social de Rennes

A project proudly submitted with the help of @ssabater.bsky.social, @annafreixa.bsky.social, Xavier Garcia, Stefano Canessa, Raoul Manenti & Francesco Ficetola! 🙌✨

Exciting news! With University of Milano and @icrawater.bsky.social , we’re invited to Step 2 of @biodiversaplus.bsky.social #BiodivTransform! 🌿💧 Our project explores the biodiversity and social value of European wash-houses and fountains. Stay tuned! #Biodiversity #Heritage

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018.

Exciting news! I’ll be sharing my work at the Nature4Nature 📚 Summer School this August! ☀️ Talking about nature-based pro & antifouling solutions, alongside some absolute bioinspiration legends 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️ who know way more than me! Check out the speaker lineup here ➡️ www.nature4nature.net/summerschool...

There are now 19 thematic PCIs but many disciplines remain to be covered! We are therefore making a call for the creation of new thematic PCIs and giving some information on how to start:

Here are some 2024 highlights of PCI and Peer Community Journal.📊 Grateful to everyone who contributed to this success🦸. We're excited and prepared for an amazing 2025🤩!

Imaginez: dans votre champ de maïs ça ne pousse qu'à certains endroits. Vous comprenez que c'est parce que l'eau & nutriments ne parviennent pas à tous les plants à cause de la nature du sol. Solution: arroser seulement là où ça pousse ou mieux répartir les ressources? framaforms.org/motion-de-de...

In kendo, there are 3 types of combat:
1️⃣ Against an opponent: only one winner (competitions)
2️⃣ In partnership with the opponent: progress together (training/grades)
3️⃣ Against yourself: the hardest (surpassing your own limits)

Which one are you striving to master in your personal/professional life?🤔

Wouldn’t it be great to have a completely free, transparent, and open preprint evaluation system in microbiology? Oh, wait, it already exists! 😏 PCI Microbiology, is here to make it happen—but we need you! Join as a recommender or submit your work! microbiol.peercommunityin.org/PCIMicrobiol...
