Sto cercando di ritirare su una #newsletter personale e una per questioni di lavoro. Sarebbe carino se qualcuno potesse condividermi la propria esperienza con questo tipo di cose: seguite newsletter? Quante ne seguite? Che tipo di contenuti preferite per questo tipo di canale?

I am starting to thread into the structural implication of #aminoacid changes across recent #evolution . Wandering how many methods like these are out there and how they can help us selecting those mutations with structural and functional implications. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.

Did anyone seriously use brute force for the #adventofcode day 3?!? How!?! #adventofcode25

I should be writing grants, I am writing code. A honorable academic death I choose. #academicchatter #python #bioinformatics

Being opinionated is just the way stupid people try to look intelligent. And this is one of the very few #unpopularopinions I allow myself to have.

Am I the only one to be highly annoyed with #youtube automatically translating videos? #AI

I think about this post every day 🧪

One of the main consequences of having been in #science for more than 10 years now? I hate opinionated people. Like, violently...

Ma #Salvini non faceva il ministro dei trasporti? Perché incontra Orban?

I love to give department seminars. I can't get over that feeling of an entire room staring at you like you were some kind of psychopath.

Chris Murphy: "Stephen Miller & Co. have a plan to transition our country from democracy into autocracy. But it's not a lost cause yet. History shows when enough people regularly engage in peaceful protest, enough sand gets thrown in the gears to save our democracy." Show up on Oct 18th! #nokings

This is a powerful account from a PhD student whose fellowship was terminated by NIH because it was part of a "diversity" program without any other considerations or understanding of what the program or the students were actually doing. undark.org/2025/10/09/o... 1/2

I’ve started writing again on The Brownian Notion, my newsletter on #computationalbiology and #evolution. If you have a strong stomach, take a look; if you’re brave, subscribe. Today’s issue is about spirit animals and evolutionary research. substack.com/home/post/p-...

One of the worst things we do in research is never shutting the fuck up. We always have questions, tons of questions. And that’s obviously a good thing. But every now and then, shutting our mouths and letting the data speak isn’t such a bad idea. #resultsdriven #research #academicchatter

🧪 #resistrfk #defendresearch #standupforscience #RFKJr #Vaccines #HHS #CDC #antivax So, guess who insists that their superior intellect tells them that evil scientists created SARS-CoV-2? Zoonotic transmission denial kills people.

The coolest thing in #EvoBio right now? Researchers are opening the gates: #cell atlases, complete #genomes, #traits —an explosion of public data. In the coming years, we won’t just be swimming in it. We’ll be diving, exploring… and having fun. #evolution #BioDiversity www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Scientists increasingly assess interventions against misinformation mainly via truth discernment. Tobia Spampatti argues in Nature Climate Change that pursuing truth discernment may not be sufficiently beneficial to society if interventions do not improve behaviour and other outcomes. 🧪

Can selfish agents create intelligent group behaviour without planning or cooperation? Yes, if they adapt who they interact with. This simple rule leads to neural-network-like learning and global efficiency. Read the paper: watermark02.silverchair.com/artl_a_00029...

Genomes of brown algae with different sex determination systems show that U/V sex chromosomes evolved 450–224 million years ago and show remarkable conservation of genes within the sex-determining region, despite independent expansions of the sex locus in each lineage www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The most beautiful part of these conferences only reveals if you stay until the end. #ESEB2025

This seems like a great idea. Of course it’s lovely to see everyone but it is v v strange that >1000 scientists fly in to agonise about the biological impact of climate change.

Attending #ESEB2025 has been an amazing experience! If you are interested in more ancient DNA and museomics, please consider joining us in Stockholm for the first International Conference on Palaeogenomics (June 23-26 2026)! Follow @palaeogenomics.bsky.social 👉icp2026.palaeogenomics.org

Now at the #ESEB2025 cancer evolution symposium, @yagmurerten.bsky.social presents collaborative work with @amyboddy.bsky.social (sorely missed here!) on cancer across species in lemurs (photos not permitted)

🚨🚨CASUAL GALA DINNER🚨🚨 For those not going to the gala dinner, let’s keep the networking going with a casual beach dinner! Bring something to eat or drink, and join us. WhatsApp group: chat.whatsapp.com/E5o0crMZxibD... Starting 5:30 PM today - position attached. #ESEB2025 PLEASE REPOST!!!

This July, an international team of researchers, co-led by Professor Rachel Warnock, organised a “Taming the BEAST” workshop in Beijing, China. BEAST2 is a software package used to reconstruct evolutionary trees and is widely applied in diverse areas... more info: www.gzn.nat.fau.eu/2025/08/06/w...
