Postdoc position on drug resistance evolution in Montpellier, France

I have some exciting news (again!). I got money from the region (Occitanie) to hire a postdoc (and later an engineer / technician) to work on drug resistance evolution in malaria (P. faciparum) and…

Is the “Connecticut” a reflection of a southward drag from living in New Jersey and Virginia, or did my Connie mother really pass on that much?

"El mal entès" de @mariusserra.bsky.social acabat! Tot un gira-pàgines, que dirien en anglès. Si Joan Ferrer és John Smith, un qualsevol, si calgués identificar el seu cadàver s'hauria dit Joan Dou?

Potser arribo tard a la festa, però una de les meves lectures d'estiu ha estat "Project Hail Mary". Com a la @biblosfera.eurosky.social, m'ha agradat: una aventura francament entretinguda. Però la suspensió de la incredulitat m'ha costat (1/n)

Una escena de la novel·la "El mal entès", de @mariusserra.bsky.social, ha disparat el meu ofici de genetista de poblacions. La segona mala notícia que rep el protagonista només pot passar amb una probabilitat del 3%. Ja és mala sort!

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.
