We show the existence, in most cases when the number of types is large enough (>20), of an Optimal Feeding Strategy that maximizes diversity, an indicator associated with better host health. We are able to fully characterize the feeding interval and food microbial content that define this OFS! (2/2)

Optimizing microbial intake helps to maintain the gut microbiome diversity The animal gut holds a myriad of microbes with demonstrated importance for the host's health. Properties of this microbiome have been studied in different host conditions in search of the best biomark...

New #preprint! Optimizing microbial intake helps to maintain the gut microbiome diversity 🦠
In this work, we build a model of gut microbial community in which microbes compete for a shared carrying capacity and are regularly replenished through feeding (1/2)

#StandingUpForScience today, and hopefully everyday for many more years to come. In solidarity with my US colleagues, against facism that is already there, at our door, and against the very real threats that linger over French research ✊️

Stand Up For Science France | Le 7 mars, nous défendons les sciences – parce que les sciences sont un bien commun. Le 7 mars, mobilisons-nous pour les sciences ! En écho à Stand Up For Science aux États-Unis et face aux menaces contre les institutions scientifiques, des actions auront lieu dans chaque ville universitaire de France. Pour participer, rejoignez l’un des comités d’organisations ci-dessous. Jusqu’à présent, 2834 participants ont rejoint le mouvement.

There will be solidarity demonstrations with the US research community all over France this Friday, March 7: standupforscience.fr
In Marseille, the demonstration will take place at noon, 12pm, in front of the Natural History Museum at the Palais Longchamps (standupforscience.fr/tous-les-eve...).

A ‘Second Tree of Life’ Could Wreak Havoc, Scientists Warn (Gift Article) Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

Our new paper in #PLOSBiology is out! With Román Zapién-Campos and Arne Traulsen we worked on extracting maximum statistical information from microbiome time series data for parameter inference. Check it out!

It is still time to apply to the two master internships we propose - one around metabolic fitness landscapes, and the other around the role of phages in the gut microbiome. Contact us!

🥳 Today was my first (working) day as a CNRS researcher. Today I feel very grateful for all the mentors, supervisors, teachers and friends who supported me one way or another to get there! 😊 Looking forward to more exciting Science... It looks like a whole career of it 🤩🤩🤩

Scientific seminars are resuming at full speed in the dpt. We'll have two great speakers in September: @florencebansept.bsky.social on Sept 26 to discuss Host-associated microbial communities, and Ahmed Elkoussy
on Sept 27 to talk about single cell and spacial genomics data analysis!
