By the way, the Montpellier Institute of Molecular Genetics (IGMM) is recruiting new group leaders! More info here:

And what a vibrant city Montpellier is! With its lively student population, crisscrossing trams, Mediterranean location and 75 research institutes! What a place to live and work it must be! @umontpellier.bsky.social @cnrsoccitanieest.bsky.social

Really stimulating week in the South of France, working with colleagues at the forefront of host-pathogen cell biology research: @sergemostowylab.bsky.social , Sandrine Bourdoulous, Jean-Christophe Paillart, Matteo Bonazzi, Pierre Diamante, Patricia Bassereau and Nathalie Chazal.

We really enjoyed the Royal Society team’s visit to the lab this morning, to mark Majeed’s first year in his Career Development fellowship. The scheme is running for the second time, and hopefully a third round will open in September 2025.

Mark Carrington’s symposium: the combination of intellectual stimulation from the scientific content and the joy of reconnecting with colleagues and friends made the day a memorable and enjoyable one for all participants, and specially for Mark!

Majeed and Cat are enjoying the Career Development Fellowship welcome event at the Royal Society – 3 days of science talks, networking workshop, library tours, video interviews and delicious vegetarian meals. A fantastic start for a 4-year postdoctoral fellowship.

Last year we celebrated our 10th lab anniversary! 10 years of experiments, socials, zillions of eppendorfs and tissue culture flasks, and lots of tea, coffee and cake. Looking forward to the next decade!
