Congrats Gael @retrogenomics.bsky.social 🎉🎉
Congrats @retrogenomics.bsky.social! Richly deserved.
Bravo à Gaël Cristofari lauréat du Prix Michel Delalande
Ses travaux à l’IRCAN (Université Côte d’Azur, @insermpacacorse.bsky.social , @cnrscotedazur.bsky.social ) sur la « face cachée du génome » et les rétrotransposons ouvrent de nouvelles pistes pour la pharmacologie et la lutte contre le cancer.

Very excited to be going to the Annual Drosophila Research Conference @genetics-gsa.bsky.social in Chicago this March. I think #Dros26 is the hashtag. There is still time for you to register! The fly community is so welcoming and supportive—if you are new to flies please consider going.

I couldnt agree more @harmitmalik.bsky.social. We should celebrate instead the great scientists that are generous with their time and knowledge, which impacts not only their labs but the careers of so many others. We should also speak up when scientists, no matter how powerful, behave unethically.
When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also
mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)
