I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Absolutely thrilled to see our work featured on the cover of @nature.com, with the stunning artwork of Emiliano Bellini! Deeply grateful to all collaborators, the Indigenous communities who made this work possible, and the funding agencies for their support!

Felicitats, @martamele.bsky.social !

🚨 Check out our new paper in Nature! In our new study, we sequenced 128 high-coverage genomes from Indigenous peoples across Latin America and uncovered their unique genetic diversity and history. 👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Lots of exciting new papers coming out in our special issue on population genetics methods & software in 2026 🚀 New tools, pipelines, and best practices - great to see this growing into a useful community resource. 📅 Submissions open until 31 May 👉 www.pivotscipub.com/hpgg/special...

Dos anys d'això.

Es pot tenir una societat d’individus amb sentit crític sense coneixements científics? La ciència, la filosofia i, en particular, la teoria de l’evolució són puntals necessaris que s’han de reforçar, no debilitar, en el sistema educatiu. @ara.cat @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social

This project (with Stacy Rosenbaum and Nick Grebe) began in the dark days of Covid, and is finally ready to share. We've built a living database of primate paternity data (52 species, 3000 paternities) and completed first wave of analyses of paternity distribution. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New paper alert 🚨 Researchers at #CPGStlhm have analyzed ancient genomes from an Islamic cemetery in Ibiza (950–1150 CE) 🏖️ They found a highly diverse community with ancestry from Europe and North Africa! The paper was published in @natcomms.nature.com OA link www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ens estem mirant amb la @ebosch1972.bsky.social "The good place". Sembla una comedieta banal sobre el més enllà que recorda a "Upload", però té un gruix filosòfic inesperat. El personatge Chidi està inspirat en Kwame Anthony, autor de "The Ethicist", el consultori ètic del NY Times (1/2)

We are very excited to host a SMBE satellite meeting about gene-culture co-evolution in Cagliari, Sardinia, Sept 2026! Abstract submission is OPEN! stay tuned for more info and help us spread the news! 🦩 🏖️ 🧬 😎

#Research 1/ A rapid evolutionary process provides Sudanese Copts with resistance to malaria In just 1,500 years, the Copts have acquired a genetic variant that protects them from contracting malaria after mixing with other Sudanese populations cc @pnas.org @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social tuit.cat/Byntj

Bons desitjos per començar ✨

Our new paper is out in PNAS! We analyzed 125 high-coverage whole genomes from five Sudanese ethnolinguistic groups, to understand the evolutionary and demographic history of the region. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🧵👇

As we start 2026, those who, like me, were born in 1966 will start a new decade in our lives. Unfortunately, 11% of those born that year will not live to see their 60th birthday.

Encetem el 2026, un any en què tots els que, com jo, vam néixer el 1966, entrarem en una nova dècada de la nostra vida. Malauradament, l'11% dels membres d'aquella generació no han arribat a fer els 60 anys.

📣 Save the date! On December 12th, The future of ART is now! The 6th symposium Catedra Eugin - @upf.edu will happen at the @prbb.org Registration is free - tuit.cat/l7reG #AssistedReproduction #artificiallntelligence

Organisers - @claudiafontsere.bsky.social | @hologenomics.bsky.social - @hernmoral.bsky.social | @hologenomics.bsky.social - Mirte Bosse | @vuamsterdam.bsky.social - Christina Hvilsom | @hologenomics.bsky.social Invited Speaker - Cock van Oosterhout | @ueaenv.bsky.social

Really looking forward to this symposium and the whole SMBE meeting! Join us at the #SMBE2026 for interesting discussions of how to identify signatures of natural selection (or try to) where it seems impossible.
