September: it’s time to sample some skin tissue from chipmunks for cell culture with @mathildetissier.bsky.social and @julia-goss.bsky.social
These cultures will enable our collaborators from Strasbourg and the @mnhn.fr to analyse telomere dynamics and the senescence process.

I had the opportunity of presenting the first preliminary results of my project this week at #CSEE2025, which we hosted in Sherbrooke. I’m extremely grateful to have met amazing researchers and fellow students, most of which, love frogs as much as I do 🐸.

This week I had the opportunity to represent Université de Sherbrooke at #CSEE2025, presenting my research on Eastern chipmunk behaviour and life-history.
I am honoured to have been able to attend, and discuss the future of ecology and evolution with both new and old colleagues and friends.

Few pictures from the last month on the field. Tadpoles are growing quickly and the different treatments definitely have a significant effect on their size 🐸🐸🐸!
