Happy to see scientists migrating so you’ll find me @floravincent.bsky.social
for some updates on marine microbes, cell-cell interactions, @TaraOcean_, the @EMBLtrec expedition, women in science and much more… see you up there !
Hello, more for the #Ocean peeps: understanding and managing #marine #ecosystems is a global scientific priority. Do you have in mind tools or methods from #unrelated fields that have proven to be surprisingly relevant? Anything from basic to applied science is of interest.Thx !

Who does that? We rented a train JUST for the conference, that will take the participants from Prague to the woods of Bohemia. There'll be talks ON THE TRAIN. In Prague we'll have 5 locations with different atmospheres.

Absolutely phenomenal week for the #EESWildModels.
A pure celebration of biological wonders, and incredibly engaged participants.
Thanks to all the co-organizers and @EMBLEvents @EMBOevents for making this possible !
See you in 2027 ? (please fill the feedback form)
🎉 That’s a wrap on the EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Wild frontiers of model organisms'! 🐠🦠🪸 #EESWildModels
A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers, participants, and organisers for an inspiring few days of cutting-edge science and vibrant discussion. The closing remarks captured the spirit of curiosity and collaboration that defined the symposium.
👏 Congratulations to all our poster prize winners—your outstanding contributions truly shone through in a field of exceptional research! 🧪🧬
Until next time—keep exploring the wild frontiers of science! 🌱🔬

I’m very honoured to receive this award alongside so many inspiring scientists in environmental science. There's still so much to discover and protect in the #ocean, especially in these tough times for #science and #ecology. Proud to stand up for science.

Congratulations, Flora Vincent! 👏
The EMBL Group Leader received the Planet Earth Award 2025 from the Alliance of World Scientists for her research on microbial interactions in the ocean and their role in climate regulation.

Based on the science, diversity matters. @femmesetmaths
@4womeninscience @Laboegalite @f_inge @Ellesbougent il va y avoir du pain sur la planche.

The evolution of shape diversity through the lens of physics—explored in our new paper! A fruitful collaboration between our lab @EMBL, Salbreux’s lab @unige & others, led by @BailleulRichar1—now independent at @ENS_ULM—& Nicolas Cuny. bit.ly/3WRqdEa

“By moving the technology as close as possible to the biology that we want to study, we can all of a sudden see a whole new view of life"
‘Lab vans’ and other facilities can bring researchers closer to what they study

Fun piece to write for @NatureRevMicro Journal Club, going back to a classic of #marine #microbiology literature. The Azam et al., 1983 doesn't get old.

Very nice coverage in @Nature about how bringing labs into the field is an incredible opportunity for environmental sciences, & how it's a dream come true for many of us. Special feature on @EMBLtrec & Niko Leisch, head of @embl Mobile Labs. @TaraOcean_

I'm very happy to report that @mschecht_bio's PhD work is now online as a pre-print:
"Ribosomal protein phylogeography offers quantitative insights into the efficacy of genome-resolved surveys of microbial communities"
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Aaand here's a little 🧵 about it.
Still time to submit an Abstract for the @embl symposium on the Wild Frontiers of Model Systems !
If you’re into #unconventional, non #modelsystems, bringing more ecology in our understanding of biological processes, #Lab-field interface this is for you.

Welcome Streptomyces dubilierae! 😀
Our director @NicoleDubilier is having a strain named after her, honouring her contributions to the study of #symbioses of #microbes.
Congratulations, and many thanks to the appreciating researchers @Leibniz_DSMZ_en!👏🎉🦠🎊
