Preprint alert! 🚨 Perfect way to end a very inspiring week! 💪 Our chromosome-level genome assembly of the potato leafhopper Empoasca fabae is out! 🍃🧬 Bravo Joshua Molligan for leading this with the invaluable support of Florent Sylvestre and creating what is now the reference genome for this species! An important resource for the community to explore the biology of this fascinating migratory pest 🪲 More functional genomics coming soon to uncover the many amazing aspects of E. fabae biology: adaptation, migration, plant interactions and beyond! 🔬 Proud of this contribution from EdeLab, made possible thanks to @RqradQc, FRQ and @NSERC_CRSNG support! 🌱 - the @LeafHopeCan keep growing!

@amiralito_ That’s me any writing Time 🫣😅

Thesis writing time 👌💥

@malinda2280 Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

A proud milestone as a supervisor seeing my first PhD student complete his thesis work. Congratulations on your hard work, perseverance, and this well-deserved achievement!

Our foray into single cell and spatial transcriptomics led by @byron_rusnak in @GenomeBiology. We found that DRMY1 is required for proper brassinosteroid-mediated coordination of sepal elongation, ensuring balanced growth between inner and outer sepals. link.springer.com/article/10.118…

@PopBase @Madonna Confessions II is SO GOOD! I had a 7 hours flight yesterday and listened to both Confesions on a Dance Floor and Confession II, one after the other and is an amazing compilation of Amazing music! 👏

‘Confessions II’ by Madonna debuts at #1 on this week's Billboard 200 chart with 134k units. It marks her 10th #1 album.

This is extremely sad ! 💔

Can’t wait to see the face of my students trying these delicious salty liquorice Danish delicacies🤭

We are saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Dennis Lange. Passionate about extension and good agronomy, I learned so much from this man. I will forever be grateful for his willingness to be on RealAg and be so generous with his time realagriculture.com/2026/07/manito… #westcdnag

@RollingStone I was like, "Not Bonnie Tyler and Anthony Hopkins in the same week!" 🤫

It's never too late to chase your dream: 88-year-old actor Anthony Hopkins signed with Decca Records to release an album of original compositions. More: rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…

Perfect opportunity to announce that we will soon be opening a PhD position in the lab to study the evolutionary role of Wolbachia in Cicadellidae! 🦗🧬 A full description of the project will be available soon, but in the meantime, please start sharing and spreading the word! 🪲🧬

PhD position in my group for entry in October 2026. Round 3 of the @NRPBIODTP BBSRC competition. Please RT👇 biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/vanis…

@LUXURYLAW How does one even get those?

Rethinking metagenome-assembled genome completeness: are we truly recovering complete genomes? | Frontiers in Microbiology frontiersin.org/journals/micro…

Happy to be featured in a #GloboRural report discussing the Corn Stunt and Virus Complex and the interactions between its pathogens, the corn leafhopper, and maize. It's always rewarding to share our research with a broader audience. #epagri #fapesc globoplay.globo.com/v/14742770/

@tacertogui @Variety I think she never want to go 😅

@Variety Impressive how she always get the face of I didn’t want to come! I love it

Mia Goth arrives to #TheOdyssey world premiere

From #SMBE2026 to #HPIS2026 🦋! Three days packed with amazing science at the beautiful Montpellier finding more inspiration and for sure collaborations!

Are we truly recovering “complete” genomes from metagenomes? 🦠🧬 In our new Opinion article, we discuss why MAG completeness scores do not always reflect biological completeness — and why considering missing adaptive regions is critical as metagenomics moves toward ecological and evolutionary interpretations. Bravo Thierry Pellegrinetti for leading this important discussion! 👏 Full article here: doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.…
