A new strain of Penicillium roqueforti discovered in Termignon cheese, a cheese I can't wait to taste, and lots of interesting results from this new paper by Tatiana Giraud's team, published in #EvolutionaryApplications

going together with a short video summary explaining domestication of cheese fungi

Another #introduction for another timezone:

Hi everyone! I work a lot with #PopulationGenomics. A bit like #populationgenetics but with extra fun of #Genomics and all its #statistical perks and #genetics itself.

Starting from #conservationbiology, I was wondering if there were any #EvolutionaryApplications that can help #conservation long-lasting question: how to keep #biodiversity?

I think population genetics is one way to go.
