Sauf que cet aller-retour en avion, c'est 2 tonnes, soit ton budget carbone annuel cible qui part en fumée. En une fois.

CHACUNE de ces cases représente 2 tonnes CO2eq. On ne respectera JAMAIS nos objectifs climatiques sans changer de système !

En révolutionnant la façon dont nous voyons les animaux et par extension nous-mêmes, Jane Goodall a changé le monde.

Pionnière de l’éthologie et défenseuse inlassable de la faune sauvage, elle laisse un héritage inestimable.

Et elle inspirera des générations de petites filles.
⚫ La célèbre primatologue britannique Jane Goodall, "ambassadrice" des chimpanzés et fervente défenseure de la cause environnementale est morte à l'âge de 91 ans, a annoncé mercredi son institut.

We uncover that the caudal splanchnic mesoderm (in green) acts as a midline anchor of the heart tube. In Vangl2 and Shroom3 mutants, its bilateral symmetry is disrupted, leading to a rotation of the heart tube and ventricle malposition.

New publication :
Despite being a core member of the PCP pathway, Vangl2 can play roles unrelated to planar polarity. This is the case during mouse heart morphogenesis.
VANGL2 shapes the mouse heart tube from adjacent epithelia and without planar polarity https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.05.674213v1

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9)

Il y a moins de 3 ans, personne n'utilisait ChatGPT. Aujourd'hui, c'est semble-t-il devenu indispensable pour des millions de Français. Mais à quel prix ?

Consommation d'électricité, consommation d'eau, extraction de matières premières... l'intelligence artificielle est un gouffre énergétique.
