Is a curfew in place?

I know that all universities and research institutes are closed on Saturday.[1] Sucks if you have cells to maintain.

It would be awfully sad if people can't go out and drink and eat freely in one of the great European cities. If I was still in Paris I'd want to be having a good, relaxed time with my friends tonight.

[1]Bonjour,

Sur décision de la Mairie de Paris et du Rectorat, toutes les écoles et établissements académiques seront fermés le samedi 14/11/15.

This is a false-flag attack designed to motivate moving western operations in Syria from covert to overt. There are already Russians and Chinese in Syria so this could literally kick of WWIII if no one stops it. Unfortunately the media is so well controlled that the ubiquitous war propaganda is generally not questioned.

As demonstrated by the instant downvote of my comment, media that isn't explicitly controlled is generally self-censored to protect the mythical reality supporting the war effort.

I've never seen a university closure that didn't still require certain essential employees, like those caring for animals (and presumably cells?), to work. Can someone confirm whether that is the case here?

Didn't France approve sweeping surveillance laws back in July? And they even were on high alert due to international talks happening in Paris...

Italy and Spain also stopped terrorist cells this month, but they don't seem to have such laws...

Guess they need more unwarranted power, uh?

I've contacted colleagues at a biotech startup that has lab space in my building. Hope they don't have any important experiments ruined.

I don't think your interpretation of the downvotes is correct.

The curfew was put into place last night, the first time it has happened since 1944 apparently, but it was lifted again by this morning. It's still recommended to not go outside unless you have to, but not forbidden. (Very recently a car reportedly with four heavily armed people in it broke through a police barrier, driving towards Paris - nobody knows if directly connected yet..)

It's still quite a tense atmosphere here.

The news media was suggesting that France and European internal border security has not been so rigorous.

The downvotes of your comment don't demonstrate that. You're making insensitive assertions with no evidence to back them up. Further, others have made more intelligent contributions on the rights and wrongs of certain state powers without getting downvoted.
