Over the last year, our lab has been developing a policy on AI use. To do this, we did three main things: We read a lot of academic publications and tech news. We set up an #ai channel on our la...

La situation agricole française n’est plus au bord du gouffre, comme elle pouvait l’être en 2022 : cette fois-ci, elle est dans le gouffre. Il n’est désormais plus inconcevable que nous soyons en trai...

Climate warming is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events globally, including heatwaves, cold snaps, droughts, floods and wildfires.

Chloroplast-stealing ciliates evolve, increasing reliance on their prey for all aspects of metabolism, including photosynthesis.

Heterotrophic bacteria utilize organic carbon as a source of energy and material for growth. The balanced allocation of carbon between these two processes, termed growth efficiency, is a key physiolog...
