"We are not merely making a plea for awareness about climate change. Instead, we are demanding immediate, tangible steps that harness the power of microbiology and the expertise of researchers and policymakers to safeguard the planet for future generations.".

Our project is growing! Now the 4th topic, Inspired by Insects, is online! In this topic, we will discover how insects shape human culture, art, and technology. Check it out: biocommunication.org/en/insects360/… The drawing: Martin Breu! #scicomm #entomology #insects

@QChesnais @AgenceRecherche @UmrSVQV @INRAE_Colmar Congrats!

I'm pleased to share that I've been awarded ANR JCJC @AgenceRecherche funding for my "PHENOMANI" project. Can't wait to start exploring the molecular mechanisms of host and vector manipulation by plant viruses with colleagues @UmrSVQV @INRAE_Colmar. Positions are opening soon!

Another fascinating example of how microbial ecological interactions mediate the transmission of vector-borne diseases:

8/8 Many thanks to my PIs, C. De Moraes & M. Mescher, the great support of the @biocommETH, and @mika_kaan for SciComm guidance! Thanks for reading!

7/8 These findings lead to new exciting questions: Which mechanisms are involved in endosymbiont modulation of virus effects on the aphid vector? ⚙️ To which extent these modulatory effects apply to other systems and to disease transmission in the field? 🌾

🎉Happy to share that our paper is published in @ISMEJournal! We find that aphid endosymbionts regulate how a plant virus (PEMV) influences plant-aphid interactions to favor disease transmission.
