thank you Shengyu for helping make this mission smooth and enjoyable. Thank you also for contributing to the success of #InvaPact IV in Beijing!
Thank you to the AXA Research Fund for supporting #InvaCost. Thank you to @cnrsecologie.bsky.social for supporting my salary and giving me total research freedom, to @univparissaclay.bsky.social for hosting me, and to my colleagues at ESE & @ideevl.bsky.social for making this job so enjoyable 🤗
Of note, this exceptional #InvaPact program, on which over 140 colleagues now contribute from 33 countries, was started 3 years ago, and I still have found no source of research funding for it... If you are a sponsor or a rich philanthropist... 😉
This is mostly the work of the #InvaCost program (invacost.fr), which yielded 79 published studies.
We have now the new project #InvaPact coming up, which will be even better and more impactful.
Such ranking is rather meaningless in science, but it is nonetheless a recognition for dedicated, hard and creative work, not only by myself, but by my entire team, among whom those who were my postdocs at the time: Christophe Diagne, @bleroyecology.bsky.social, ElenaAngulo and AnnaTurbelin.
Highly Ranked Scholar Award
As we approach the happy times of end of the year, I couldn't resist sharing the award I received this morning: first scholar in the world in the field of Sciences of Invasions. For the second year.

InvaPact III workshop is now over: WHAT A WEEK! ~60 experts from 30 countries putting their brainpower together for an unique collaborative project.
Work hard, play hard: they really followed my motto!
Powerful publications on the way!
Thank you to the sponsors of this fifth workshop: @AXAResearchFund, @ofbiodiversite.bsky.social @cnrs.fr @FondationLuciole
Today we start the InvaPact III Workshop in Barcelona Spain! 60 experts from 30 countries to work 6 days on the standardisation of ecological impacts of #BiologicalInvasions.
This (largely) new crew is fantastic, this is going to be amazing!
Please give your BlueSky handle if you're part of it!
Just received my fresh copy of @franckcourchamp.bsky.social's new biodiversité comic! Only in French, but other languages, including English, coming out soon.
#extinction #biodiversity #climatechange #lheritagedudodo
When plants or animals move, or are moved, to a place they don't belong, there is a risk of damage to natural habitats and an economic cost too.
@franckcourchamp.bsky.social talks to @talknormal.co.uk about how we estimate the size of this risk and what we can do about it
