En ce moment, tous les conseillers politiques, à l'Elysée, à Matignon, au cabinet ministériel, dans les partis regardent si les directeurs de labos (DU) du CNRS bougent, si les chercheuses et chercheurs bougent, après la coupe de 25% des budgets.
Pourquoi?
Pour voir si le moment est venu.
BgBOL is launching its new seminar series focused on hot scientific topics of practical and academic importance.

I signed the call to suspend the EU-Israeli association agreement. This requires 1 million signatures.
Israël is committing genocide, continues to attack Lebanon and is founded on apartheid. Not my values. Yours? If not, consider signing as well if you’re EU citizen.

We are destroying species' habitats, leading to a mass extinction event.
This habitat destruction also reduces the genetic diversity _within_ species.
Our latest work develops quantitative models to predict how much genetic diversity has been and _will be_ lost.

New study finds that #eDNA - a powerful tool for monitoring #aquatic #biodiversity - is being held back by patchy #metadata and poor data standardisation. Authors identify key gaps and call for FAIR, CARE & TRUST principles to unite the field.
