Pour comprendre la discussion budgétaire qui se clôt il faut objectiver, avec lucidité et sérénité, une réalité désormais structurante : l’emprise inédite des milliardaires sur la vie démocratique de la nation.

L'emprise des grandes fortunes françaises
Il n’existe aucun sujet de politique économique et sociale où l’on puisse observer un écart aussi béant entre le soutien populaire et la représentation nationale.

Excited to share our work on epithelial multilayering - identifying why stem cell stay in the basal layer and how and why differentiating cells move up. Great collab with @manningresearch.bsky.social and Niessen labs! Check out preprint and great summary below www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

IL S’APPELAIT Taha Hoshyar et avait 12 ans. Le corps sans vie de cet enfant a été retrouvé jeudi 8 janvier 2026 à Boumehen, ville à l’est de Téhéran, le visage touché par une balle, en plein pic de manifestations - et de répression - en #Iran.

Iranians are experiencing a collective trauma. Thousands have been killed/injured in recent events, the economy is crippled & the threat of a wider conflict is real. This is especially difficult for those living in Iran, as many have lost (or fear losing) loved ones. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Many people have wondered why the Chien-Shiung Wu never won the Nobel Prize for Physics. New findings from the Nobel archives, exclusively revealed in Physics World, show she was nominated 23 times by 18 different physicists - and yet was still left empty-handed. 🧪⚛️

A #research team investigated how the mechanical properties of tumor cells influence their metastatic pathway.
🔑 🔍: Viscosity – rather than elasticity – determines how tumor cells invade surrounding tissue.
