First ANR!

I got my first ANR jeune chercheur! Thumbs up for the reviewer who acknowledged my two maternity leaves (part of my second maternity leave in France was consummed writing the ANR). I struggle so much to keep up with work, kids and home that reading someone reviewing your grant proposal saying I am doing a good work despite my lack of time was amazing. So cheers to you reviewer.

This ANR JCJC is called UNLEASH and is all about tackling epigenetic studies in non model species (weevils for me). 3.5 years, a master, a PhD and a someone to help me out with the bioinformatics. Wish me luck!!!

Nature BCA accepted!

Got the opportunity to participate in a Nature Brief Communication Arising article with several well known researchers. This is a very interesting and piece and also important, as it reminds us that we have the duty to verify our data as researchers, as reviewers and as readers.

First grant awarded! PALSE Impulsion

I am very happy to have been awarded a Palse Impulsion grant! The project involves my new CR1 INRA position at the BF2i lab and aims at troubleshooting epigenetic methods in weevils. Wish me luck!
