It’s definitely rock in term of energy and live performance Though I always thought for some reason it’s quite hard to write rock songs in French. Not concise enough? I don’t know

Aston villa was pretty good. Luke (first album). Nour désir (before Cantat turned out to be a murderer). Telephone in the 80s. Dionysos. La Mano Negra.

Have you ever wondered why developmental genes are often regulated by enhancers located at long distances? In this @natgenet.nature.com perspective, we speculate that long-range enhancer positioning may provide regulatory properties essential for proper gene expression www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I clearly see when I’m overusing AI coz the result is shit. I’m aware of all the bads that it can be used for. But the time it saves me allows me to be able to drop my daughter to her ballet class and bring my son to his music class Maths teachers adapted to calculators. We will adapt

I don’t know how to build a car nor how to fix anything in it. Yet I can drive to where I want to go. Sure knowing how it functions would help me in challenging time. This is those conditions you need to identify and mastered to keep succeeding in your field of research

Yes I agree. This is why I think AI could be a great help! But when it fails or when you want to innovate you need to know the basis

Antoine Zalc @antoinezalc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Or actually it’s also when molecular biology started using kits for everything. It’s great to get what you want. But you cannot create new things with it. And when it breaks you don’t know how to fix it because you don’t know what is in buffer A, B and C

It seems the general strategy in Europe for research funding is to come up with more and more ridiculous eligibility rules so less and less people can apply. I'm gonna learn how to juggle with knives because I have the feeling this is gonna be a required skill very soon!
