My interview with @nature.com

“A new direction in our work is to understand the microbial inhabitants of the atmosphere. Is it just a dispersal mechanism for dormant cells, or does it harbour active microbes that grow and divide?”

I'll defend my HDR (Habilitation à diriger des recherches) on 1st September at @mioceanologie.bsky.social 🦠❄️🌊⛰️🌨️🧬🔬🌡️✨
(also I don't have much of a clue about the HDR process in France so if you can give me some advice please do 🤪)

A wonderful first day of amazing talks at #AIxBio! If you work in the biology-AI space, I strongly recommend this meeting.
