Today, members of @r4knetwork.bsky.social gave presentations to school pupils all across the country.

We’re teaching young kids about medical research & what it means to be a scientist.

Always a great pleasure and even more so with our brand new lab member @mathilde-krh.bsky.social 🤩.

Une semaine dans toute la France pour sensibiliser 2500 enfants, en hommage aux 2500 enfants et adolescents diagnostiqués chaque année en France avec un cancer.

Un petit galet peint est symboliquement remis à chaque enfant avec l’idée que contre le cancer, chacun peut amener sa pierre.

Our collabs are the best!

Headed by Laura Broutier from CRCL & funded by INCa, this collaborative project uses patient-derived tumoroids, drug screening and mathematical modeling to develop more effective treatments for #Rhabdomyosarcoma.

This is so @southrock.bsky.social 🤩

It’s the start of a new week.

But we still want more labcoats and less white robes.

We need to keep standing up for science!

A world free of discrimination, where diversity would be a strength and not weakness. A world where all children, all women, all human beings would be free from violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect. A world where kindness, tolerance and empathy would be great values, the most important ones.

Today is the International Women's Day 2025.

The world we are currently living in scared me a little more every day, but collectively, I still do think that we can make a difference.

I wish we could live in a gender equal world.
