We are looking for candidates to apply for a Marie-Curie post-doctoral fellowship to work with us on epigenomic mechanisms of addiction in humans and rodent models. More details here, please spread the word: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/hosting...
Pour former des métastases, les cellules cancéreuses doivent franchir une course d’obstacles qui exige des propriétés physiques spécifiques. Une étude montre que leur viscosité joue un rôle crucial, mais pas à toutes les étapes de la progression métastatique.

Come to be our colleague! Center of Paris, excellent facilities, research spanning the whole range of basic and biomedical life science topics, enthusiastic and collaborative colleagues, crème brûlée every Friday... What else could one want?
We are hiring a ✨ bioinformatics PhD student ✨ for fall 2026 as part of the @evomg-dn.bsky.social MSCA doctoral network!
Our project in a nutshell: can the evolution of gene expression in the uterus point us towards which genes are important for human uterine diseases?
To apply 👉 www.evomg-dn.eu
Which could be interpreted as "we got new money, but not enough to improve funding rates, so why not this even more competitive scheme aka making things worse".
"The ERC is receiving additional budget for the scheme from the EU, so its regular schemes, which suffer from limited budgets, should not be negatively affected, Leptin said."
ERC success rates are tanking and the move is... even bigger grants for fewer people? smh
"grants were being launched partly in response to the turmoil in the US, with the aim of attracting top researchers"...
Fund more people, please :)
For the same money they could fund 600 grants of 350K apiece - enough to hire a postdoc for 2-3 years.
As always, thanks to colleagues & funding agencies for their support @incicnrs.bsky.social @agencerecherche.bsky.social

Using a prospectively registered methodology, we included and reviewed 99 articles that manipulated the enzymes or characterized DNA methylation at candidate genes, or more recently genome-wide, including in the context of in utero or developmental exposure to drugs.
If interested in epigenomics & substance use disorders, take a look at our systematic review. We summarize current knowledge on DNA methylation & related enzymes across rodent models & drugs of abuse. Written w/ PhD student Margot Diringer & post-doc Mathieu Bruggeman

C'est effectivement l'étape logique quand on prend au sérieux tout le discours "performance des fonctionnaires".
And don't hesitate to reach out if interested, in particular about mental health & neuroepigenetics. @incicnrs.bsky.social @agencerecherche.bsky.social

The Strasbourg (France) neuroscience community (NeuroStra) will offer 3 positions over the next 3 years for junior group leaders. Applicants should develop projects along 3 themes:
--> Mental health
--> Neuroepigenetics
--> Nociception and Pain

Réveil difficile en début de semaine. Compréhensible, avec un week-end aussi court.
A joke scientific paper with the title "Over 90% of children diagnosed with autism consumed breast milk and/or formula mileL a comprehensive cross-sectional analysis of the obvious"
Who did this?!
Ou découvrir à posteriori que l'utilisation du mot "mécénat" par un financeur dans une convention empêche l'avance de fonds par le CNRS. Et rend impossible le recrutement prévu, parce qu'un tiers des fonds ne seront perçus qu'à la fin du projet...
Moi je veux bien soumettre à l'ERC, mais mon quotidien c'est des trucs genre expliquer aux services financiers pourquoi un laboratoire d'informatique adhère à la Société informatique de France.
Les extrêmes mettent en danger notre démocratie mais aussi la science et la santé. J’ai cosigné une tribune publiée dans Le Monde aujourd’hui pour dénoncer les amendements LFI/RN visant à taxer l’expérimentation animale car ils constituent une menace pour la recherche et les découvertes médicales 🔬
