After a transitional period between 🇳🇴 and 🇫🇷, I am thrilled to announce that I have joined @ISYEB_UMR as an Associate Professor. I will be a fungal curator at the Museum national d’histoire naturelle in Paris @Paris_Fungarium.

Caroline Langley (@__caro__line___) is crossing the country to start her postdoc, while Peter Dietzen, Michael Emerman & Jeannette Tenthorey have given up on X. I am happy to announce their discovery about ancient origins of antiviral Mx proteins biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/

🔥🔥🔥 @cesarmarin203 is 100% correct here. I don't know what the solution is, but things need to change.
Many Global North res. don’t know or care to know that our colleagues here pay reactives from their own salary. Even for myself, living in South America’s “richest country”, coming to these events financially is very damaging. My salary as a Full Professor is comparable.. 4/n

Houston, we have a problem! I hope there is room for reflection after #IMC12 on this VERY obvious problem, so that as a community we can do a better. Check thread below for more information 👇

Not personal, but is repeated assignment of multiple (up to 3!) speaker slots to same (senior) presenter the best way to compose a conference program, showcase science diversity, & promote speaker diversity? Why not promote more ECRs? #IMC12 #DiversityInScience

This is something I have noticed as well. Strong agree with @Team_Thomma that this should be addressed
