"34 citoyens français ont été arrêtés dans la nuit du 1er au 2 octobre par l’armée israélienne en pleine mer, dans les eaux internationales. Ils sont aujourd’hui emprisonnés à la prison de Ketziot, au cœur du désert, connue pour ses conditions indignes et dénoncées depuis longtemps par les ONG."

Mais que font les autorités françaises qui tweetent à tout va pour des futilités ?
Des représentants du peuples kidnappés en eaux internationales, contre toute légalité, comment cela est-ce possible si le pouvoir français n'est pas complice du régime génocidaire et colonialiste israélien ?

Are viruses capable of regulating protein synthesis in the nuanced way of cellular organisms? Kinda! I’m excited to share some of my postdoc work that leveraged giant DNA viruses to address this question.

A Nature Careers feature explores the ways scientific societies, journals, editors and researchers are pushing back against mean-spirited peer reviews. #Academicsky 🧪

Congratulations to @ulad-litvin.bsky.social for this! He performed the vast majority of data curation and analysis, made the majority of figures for the manuscript AND drafted the text. An AMAZING effort!

Congratulations to both of you! 😁

Proud moment to see the first Master student of the team (Lotte Mayer) successfully defend her Master's thesis work digging into viral factories of #giantViruses.

This is absolutely disgusting! If the EU does not do anything now, they are complicit in genocide. It is clear that Israel has not intentions to stop...

Finally out! Did you ever wonder how a phylum with 10 core genes can make a conserved organelle? Read the paper! It's all about intrinsically disordered proteins! | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Happy to share the news 😁

RosettaFold3! Computational structural biologists and protein designers are really spoiled for choice. Looking forward to giving this a spin soon!

Want to name a real virus? I have recently discovered 9 new phages which now need names!

Wow! So disappointing. One change in a lifetime of changing the monopolies of the world and this is what the EU does...

our paper is online! rdcu.be/exXBX . Who would have thought that some #giantviruses not only have #histones, but even histone variants that make weird #nucleosomes (pdb 9CVT). Fantastic work from Ale Villalta and Chelsea Toner, with Hugo Bisio @molbiolgv.bsky.social and Chantal Abergel
