New preprint: eukaryotic origins! 🥁 We propose that iron -not oxygen- may have delayed the rise of complex life. Our model reframes the “oxygen delay” puzzle: the gap between atmospheric O2 and early eukaryotic fossils may reflect iron-mediated stress, not for O2: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🧬 Microbial Marvels: Biodiversity & Evolution of Yeasts Top scientists @hittingerlab.bsky.social & @stelkens.bsky.social reveal how yeasts evolve, adapt, and speciate. @uv.es @upv.es Don’t miss this inspiring workshop! 📅 June 16 📍 @iatacsic.bsky.social🔗https://bit.ly/4mytSC2 #YeastScience

Move over mitochondria, a new organelle called the nitroplast is here. In a Science study last year, researchers reported that a nitrogen-fixing organelle has been identified in a marine alga. Learn more in this #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/49GjClc #ScienceMagArchives

Glad to share our latest paper published in Science Advances! In this work, we show that #light and #CO₂ regulate #TOR through cytoplasmic #dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), revealing a key metabolic link in TOR [email protected] @science.org science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adu1240

Well said!

There are no illegal protests in a democracy. Fuck that guy.

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

So long, Asilomar! Now on my way back to Madrid—quite a hassle due to the strike at Munich Airport ☹️—while reflecting on 3 days of intense discussions on SynBio & Gen Eng. Memorable event, engaging a most diverse group of people & being exposed to a whole bunch of fertile minds in an unique venue 😃
