Hello world! I have a postdoc position immediately available in my lab. It will focus on identifying high-quality transposons in many genomes and finding their impacts in evolution and traits. Most works, including EDTA2 development and annotation of 400+ genomes, are done! 1/n

Thrilled to receive ANRS Maladies infectieuses émergentes (PEPR MIE) grant with @lambrechtslab & Gael Cristofari! Making mosquitoes intolerant to arboviruses. Thanks Institut Pasteur, since 1887, Inserm & CNRS 🌍 for support. Exciting times for #ARBORETRO project! Stay tunned.

Leafhopper comic! Because I want people to stop asking me if they’re the same thing as grasshoppers.
