"Yesterday I wrote a piece for the Guardian about my decision to step down as an Associate Editor at the Royal Society’s journal Open Science. The response has been overwhelming."

So I am on the spectrum, and there seems to be a misconception that autistic people take things literally, which is not true.

Kleptomaniacs are the ones that take things, literally. I'm just autistic.

I was flash cooling* crystals w/ AmSO4 today.
It was so cool to:
1. Do something I love again
2. Know I still got it! 😆

Can’t wait to see if cryo worked and they diffract! #proteincrystallography #PIinthelab

*not frozen. Speak to Elspeth Garman if you don’t know the difference

#introduction I am a molecular and structural biologist working at the Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology in Paris. I am working with proteins and RNAs, fascinated by the many ways they interact with eachother. I use all sorts of biophysical techniques and molecular tools, but mostly #NMR and #Crystallography. Special interests in #RNA maturation and post-transcriptional #modifications.

I will here post about pre-prints, articles, conferences, related to my interests in research.
