Field trials with transgenic plants are never simple. One of the requirements is that there can’t be any Brassicaceae within a 200 m radius of the trial site. And guess what are many weeds? Brassicas! 🚫🥦😅 We’re fortunate to have the facilities and support to make this research at @ulaval.ca 💪💛

🚨🪲🧬🦠 We have a new preprint out! Link: doi.org/10.64898/202... Insects and microbes are more connected than we realize. Some insects owe part of their ability to feed on plants to genes acquired from bacteria millions of years ago 🤯 See what we found about glycoside hydrolases in leafhoppers.

100% this!

Très heureux de voir mon équipe impliquée dans la belle initiative: « La science, pas si compliquée! » de l' @ulaval.ca 🔬💚 Cette fois, c'est Jordanne qui répond à la question : 🦟 Pourquoi les maringouins piquent-ils? 💡 Découvrez sa réponse ici: nouvelles.ulaval.ca/2026/07/29/p...

Last week, I had the chance to work with @virgimiguel.bsky.social on an incredibly exciting project that the @aspbofficial.bsky.social Early Career Committee is putting together! Thank you for the invitation and for the opportunity to talk about our research. Can’t wait to share more. Stay tuned! 🌱

Early morning at CBC Québec AM talking about our exciting work on the diversity of leafhoppers in the Canadian Arctic 🦗❄️ Always a pleasure to share how biodiversity research helps us better understand our rapidly changing northern ecosystems. 📄 Research article: share.google/LsV9N9aFCcOa...

New preprint out! 🌱 Bravo @jiaxuwu.bsky.social ! 🎉 Here we used RenSeq to characterize the repertoire and allelic diversity of NLRs across five canola lines developed for clubroot-resistance breeding 🧬 Let’s make sense of the complex genetics behind clubroot resistance! 🔗 doi.org/10.64898/202...

RenSeq and whole genome sequencing uncover allelic diversity of clubroot resistance genes in commercial breeding canola linesClubroot disease, caused by the obligate biotrophic pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a major threat to canola (Brassica napus) production worldwide. Clubroot–resistant (CR) cultivars remain the m...doi.org

Legend has it that if you had a piece of cake, you’ll publish in @plantphys.bsky.social before #PlantBio27 🤭

I had a super packed afternoon at #PlantBio26 🌿 From a cool @ismpmi.bsky.social session to photochemistry, the science has been incredible 🧫🌱🧪 Great to see so many exciting talks and inspiring research!

Excited to see our @elife.bsky.social study featured by Hybrigenics at #PlantBio26, together with the groundbreaking research from @saskiahogenhout.bsky.social 🌿 Thanks for the spotlight!

Day 2 of @aspbofficial.bsky.social / @cspbscbv.bsky.social #PlantBio26 🌿 The meeting has been packed with outstanding science, and inspiring discussions. My highlights so far: 🪴 Heather McFarlane 🍄 Shelley Lumba 🧬 @plantophagy.bsky.social Looking forward to another fantastic day of plant bio! 🌱

Ottawa, here I go! Can’t wait to see the @aspbofficial.bsky.social/ @cspbscbv.bsky.social gang! 🌿🧬

Microaggressions in peer review never cease to surprise and frustrate me. Sometimes, the (insert here 😅) privilege behind certain comments practically jumps off the screen.

People often say I travel a lot. Funny enough, I took my first flight at 24 years old… and it was only six years ago. 🫣 One of those facts isn’t true. Which one do you think it is? 😅

Happy to be back home 💚

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

Preprint alert! 🚨 Our chromosome-level genome assembly (and reference for the species) of the potato leafhopper Empoasca fabae is out! 🍃🧬 An important resource for the community to explore the biology of this fascinating migratory pest 🪲 Study here: doi.org/10.64898/202...
