Paris urban biking DOUBLED in just one year.
“Cycling in Paris has transcended mere trendiness; it’s become a fundamental aspect of the city’s identity. Despite challenges like inclement weather, cyclists continue to flock to the streets, setting new records and reshaping the urban landscape.”

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

"Emissions from cycling can be more than 30x lower for each trip than driving a fossil fuel car, and about 10x lower than driving an electric one."
Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Wanna study how proteins bind the GTP cap of microtubles? Make microtubules that mimic the cap!
We're on a roll!🚀
Check our latest research @naturecomms.bsky.social: rdcu.be/ecXzr
We reveal how mosaic MTs faithfully mimic the GTP cap, highlighting lattice expansion (not pf twist) as the structural cornerstone of MT stability and dynamic instability.
Congrats to Juan and everybody involved! 🎉
