Excited to attend #EDRC2025 in Alicante, starting today! If you want to know more about the impact of genetic variation, come visit my poster P-023 Saturday afternoon and learn about FlyCADD, our impact prediction tool for SNPs! 🧬

C. elegans is a real animal and we set out to understand how it comes to have its distinctive biogeography. Its ancestral center of diversity is in the higher elevation forests of Hawaii. Its closest relatives are spread across east Asia. Did they travel from Asia? [Preprint 🧵]

In 2020, O Gaggiotti, J Goudet and I showed that Qst-Fst comparison was uncalibrated with high population structure. During her PhD with us, Isa do O developed LogAV: a method that accounts for any population structure while testing for local adaptation : journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Dear JEDIs, the #EDRC meeting is coming soon! Who is joining? Looking forward to meeting everyone next week!

Happy to share the results of a long-haul post-doc project, now online @science.org, aiming at understanding the rules of transgeneration epigenetic inheritance over TEs in plants and its extent and impact in nature. More below! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

🔬✨ En la sesión de tarde del #CNG2025 exploramos el genoma en movimiento con @gonzalezlabbcn.bsky.social y su clase sobre elementos móviles, y nos sumergimos en la evolución de su arquitectura 3D con @aruizherrera.bsky.social @ibb-uab.bsky.social

🧬🌄 En el #CNG2025 también hay espacio para respirar ciencia… ¡y aire puro! Disfrutando de la sierra de Madrid entre sesiones genómicas. Ciencia con vistas!

Join us! Great line up of speakers on an interesting topic! Thanks to @csic.es Conexion GENOMA for making it possible #TEsky @sesbe-org.bsky.social @sebbm.bsky.social @segenetica.bsky.social @droseu.bsky.social

Loosing #FlyBase / @flybase.bsky.social would be a blow to modern science: an unprecedented information hub combining data across levels of complexity from genes to organisms, reaching out to other species & humans, meticulously reporting on 120 years of research! www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

@sishuowang.bsky.social The lack of diversity in your keynote and invited speakers does not reflect the reality of our community with great female evolutionary biologists based in China and beyond @scottvedwards.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social @official-smbe.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social

My very first post on here. I am stoked to share lab's latest paper led by @ethantolman.bsky.social. Ethan developed a highly scalable pipeline to differentiate between various gene flow models, including ghost introgression in phylogenomic datasets. Check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...

The community of Drosophila researchers is amazing, mutually supportive and collaborative. Right now a key resource for our community, @flybase.bsky.social , is threatened by the cancellation of its NIH grant and is seeking community help in raising short term funds 1/n 🧪 please share

#festamajordegràcia is concluded for @lcatmon.bsky.social it's been 1 more bucket list ✅️ to bring #evolution to one of the most important festivities of #Barcelona Thanks #44Perill, @ajuntamentbcn.bsky.social #eseb2025 @sesbe-org.bsky.social and for the support and trust! Activities Summary 👇

Thank you, Mike Ritchie, for the inspiring and entertaining presidential talk, and for all the work and contribution you have done for the #ESEB society @eseb.bsky.social . We look forward to your leadership in the coming years! @eseb2025.bsky.social #eseb2025

Mike Ritchie reminded to publish in your society journals to keep things rolling. Overpriced journals from big publishers did not circle back their money to society! Surprised the EU still need to be reminded, I thought many funding bodies acknowledged review-community platforms. #ESEB2025

Incredible presentation from Sophia EO prize winner #eseb2025. Let’s hear her call for our evolutionary biology community to support trans colleagues facing such challenges.

Thanks so much to @uabbiociencies.bsky.social @aruizherrera.bsky.social team for the workshop and for the extra help to run the rest of activities!

Thanks for a great talk @lperezsorribes.bsky.social!

Thanks for sharing! All activities were spearheaded by Roberto Torres @lcatmon.bsky.social in collaboration with the "44 Perills" association and with the support of @sesbe-org.bsky.social @eseb2025.bsky.social and @ajuntamentbcn.bsky.social. Big shout out to #eseb2025 scientists that participated!

🚨 U.S. science is in crisis. Funding cuts and policy shifts are forcing researchers to reconsider their futures. Labs are closing, innovation is stalling, and the talent pipeline is shrinking. Hear stories about how our community is facing these challenges: buff.ly/WjbKnvK

Politics aside, anyone with a shred of empathy must feel absolutely gutted for the tremendous loss and grief felt by so many families and parents in Texas. The sense of grief that communities face over needless deaths of young people is visceral and shared. 1/
