Today we celebrate the #DayOfPhotonics and recall our #ICFOOpenDay ✨ Through lab tours, hands-on activities, and conversations with researchers, attendees discovered how #photonics help us understand and improve the world around us. ICFO News👉 icfo.eu/news/2576/op...

A la tarda, hem donat la benvinguda a famílies! 🙌 A través d’activitats, experiments i xerrades, hem compartit la nostra recerca amb públic de totes les edats. #ICFOOpenDay

Apropant la #fotònica i les seves aplicacions als estudiants! 💡 Un matí complet de visites a laboratoris, xerrades amb #ICFOnians i activitats per descobrir què fem a l'ICFO. #ICFOOpenDay

👋 La Diana, el Miguel, la Rebecca i el Chunyu ens obriran les portes dels seus laboratoris! Demà, a l’ #ICFOOpenDay, ells i altres #ICFOnians voluntaris acompanyaran els grups que ens visitaran en un recorregut per diversos laboratoris i activitats 🔬

🎉 ¡Orgullo RSEQ! Nuestros socios @casadevallcarla.bsky.social, @nikinikki87.bsky.social y @carlosmyruela.bsky.social han sido galardonados con una prestigiosa #ERCStartingGrant 2025🔬 Enhorabuena!!!!! 📖 rseq.org/tres-miembro... @urv.cat @lcbm-epfl.bsky.social @iciq.org @icfo.eu

🎙️Prof. Nicoletta Liguori received an ERC Starting Grant for her project MARIONETTE, that aims to understand how changes in the structure and environment of photosynthetic proteins allow them to regulate light-harvesting in plants🌱 🔗Read the interview 👉 bit.ly/46q0pEe @erc.europa.eu | #ERCStG

Congrats to Dr Nicoletta LIGUORI who gets an ERC Starting Grant project accepted! 👏👏👏 #MARIONETTE @erc.europa.eu @nikinikki87.bsky.social is one of the Young Investigator Awardee of our society and gave a fantastic lecture at the #ESPcongress2025 in Bari a few days ago

Plants require sunlight to survive, yet excessive exposure can cause photodamage. Luckily a photoprotective "switch" triggers the conversion of excess solar energy to harmless heat. Nicoletta Liguori @icfo.eu will research the mechanics involved. 👉 buff.ly/yV0qmpN @nikinikki87.bsky.social

Two ICFO researchers win prestigious @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant to tackle big questions in science. An outstanding feat for the brilliant researchers and group leaders at ICFO, Prof. Nicoletta Liguori and Prof. Carmen Rubio-Verdú🙌 Read the full story 👉 bit.ly/3JF26Ff

Prof. Liguori’s project, MARIONETTE, aims to understand how plants regulate light harvesting at the nanoscale, to perform photosynthesis safely under the sun 🌱 Learn more about MARIONETTE's project 👉 bit.ly/3JF26Ff #ERCStG @nikinikki87.bsky.social

Pre-announcement: MARTINI tutorial workshop, August 11-15th 2025 in Groningen, The Netherlands !! Learn basic and advanced Martini from the cocktail masters themselves. Registration will open soon.

I'm able to make this animation of how the ocean breathes in and out CO₂ because of data collected by NOAA scientists, data served at NOAA websites, and tools provided by NASA. All are under threat of being dismantled by the Trump administration.

'No one can expect individual scientists to make a stand, at professional and even personal danger (even though some are doing so),' writes Philip Ball. 'But prudence cannot mean timidity, nor can it risk looking like it.'

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

🟣Next week we are launching the '#ICFOnians for Women in Science Month' program! This month-long initiative begins on February 11th, International Day of Women & Girls in Science and extends all the way to March 8th, International Women’s Day. Check the program👉 www.icfo.eu/event/3878/i...

Having a color-blind colleague is a good reminder that we need to be more careful when designing figures for scientific publication 🧪 My lab has found this page especially useful for selecting color palettes, used in combination with different symbols: thenode.biologists.com/data-visuali...

Calling all #SciComm people who specialise in scientific animations. I would like to talk to someone about making some animations to communicate our research in single-molecule biophysics. Please message me if you are interested and share with your networks! 🧪

Very nice text on Science this week: www.science.org/content/arti...

Check which starter packs you're in using @clearsky.app

Two great #PhDposition available in the Photosynthesis Research Group at Sheffield 🌞🌱🦠 Pls RT tinyurl.com/5yhajrpp tinyurl.com/4nsdu45s Come and join us!

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

Hi Bluesky! I'd like to begin my journey in this platform by advertising this school I am currently co-organizing: The Winter School on Ultracold Quantum Many-body Systems ❄️⚛️ (16-22 Feb 2025) is open for registration! The school will take place at the Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual🏔️.

Not sure what the limits of "at-risk" researcher are. In any case, we are happy to support eligible candidates. Our work focuses on biomolecular simulations and deep learning for drug discovery, plastic degradation, and molecular ecology. Get in touch if it suits you! More info: saferesearchers.eu

🎨 In case anyone need… The NIH BioArt Source is an awesome library of *free* professionally drawn illustrations for scientific presentations or figures. Downloadable in HD. Thank you NIH for this invaluable tool 🙏! Check it out 👇 bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Ok, here you have the Starter Pack. This is just the beginning, and we will be adding more researchers progressively. go.bsky.app/BBgq3df

It was a pleasure to organize/host this event at ICFO. Watch here to see how #mindlabICFO may develop in the future.

Good morning! We've created a Starter pack with all the members from our #ICFOnians community joining Bluesky. Let us know if you want to be added or removed! go.bsky.app/TM7Bty
