Still looking for our perfect doctoral candidate as part of @evomg-dn.bsky.social - come and join us to work on the evolutionary pressures that shape gene expression and disease in the uterus!

Please RT (or is it RB? not sure how our lingo has changed!)

137 years ago today 🎂 Institut Pasteur opened in Paris (Nov 14, 1888 🏛️)

Funded by 100K+ donors after the rabies vaccine success, it launched a scientific legacy:
🔬 10 Nobel Prizes
🌍 32 Pasteur Network Institutes
💉 Countless lives saved

From rabies to COVID-19, the mission continues.

"...researchers who invest time in their students tend to lead more-productive, more-collaborative groups and attract stronger future students than those who do not." "Time spent with the next generation of scientists is an investment."

What makes PhD students happy? Good supervision
Supervisors who invest in positive mentoring relationships with their PhD candidates also reap the benefits for their own research.

Comment Napoléon a été vaincu en Russie par une armée de bactéries : ce que l’ADN révèle de la débâcle de la Bérézina
Des analyses menées sur des restes de soldats révèlent deux nouvelles maladies inattendues qui ont conduit à la débâcle de l’armée napoléonienne en Russie en 1812.

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

A new Science study shows that the mycobacterium M. lepromatosis infected humans in the Americas before European contact.

The findings reshape current views of leprosy in the Americas and provide insights into the long-term interactions between humans and infectious diseases. scim.ag/3HuEjGB
Fig. 1. Contemporary and ancient sample sites in the Americas and synteny plot between genomes of leprosy-causing bacteria. (A) Pie charts indicate the site location or countries from where samples were collected for screening. Charts are color-coded according to the presence or absence of M. lepromatosis and if they are from present-day biopsies or ancient archaeological origin. (B) Illustration of mauve progressive alignments showing possible genome rearrangements and synteny blocks between four leprosy-causing bacterial genomes using pyGenomeViz (35). Species (and strains in parentheses) are indicated in bold on the left. Genome sizes are shown in megabases (Mb) below each genome. The Viridis color palette (Matplotlib) is used to represent genome position along the M. lepromatosis reference genome (NHDP-LPM-385), with a continuous gradient from start to end. Genomes that are fully syntenic with the reference, such as other M. lepromatosis strains, display an almost identical color order, reflecting preserved genomic structure. In contrast, the M. leprae TN genome shows a disrupted color sequence due to differences in genome organization relative to the coordinates of the M. lepromatosis reference. Gray lines connect collinear regions, while orange highlights indicate inverted blocks (on the minus strand) relative to the NHDP-LPM-385 reference.

La culture scientifique, c'est aussi de la culture.

On vous voit, @grandpalaisrmn.bsky.social qui essaie de grignoter les espaces et le #ministèredelaCulture qui laisse faire. 😠

It's all gone. They've taken down all the CDC datasets from data.cdc.gov

Data that's critical for public health & research. Data paid for by citizens. That the government now censors.
