Thank you to EMBO, FEBS, and the many brilliant scientists I’ve had the fortune to work with over the years. Very humbled and honoured.

“Science uncovered the truth of why my children died, and set me free.” Kathleen Folbigg spoke at the Crick this week, joined by the team of scientists and lawyers who used advances in genomic science to help exonerate her after serving twenty years in jail, falsely accused of killing her children.

The US is withdrawing from the Paris agreement and from the WHO, responsible for the eradication small pox, near eradication of polio and the Ebola vaccine amongst many other. This is a dark day for humanity. Sadly, it will be our children and the next generations that will suffer the consequences.

My book of short stories GENES A LA CARTA, expands the literary and film tradition of an extreme present or a near future with a fracture between super humans and normal Sapiens. How does a first generation of gene edited humans live with the other less privileged humans?

Mourning in Spanish science for the death of a great scientist, scientific manager, promoter of Spanish science @sebbm.bsky.social @irbbarcelona.org & @COSCE, and, above all, a great person who encouraged many to continue fighting for a better world: Joan Guinovart elpais.com/espana/catal...

Analysing genetic ancestry using time-stratified approach offers a higher-resolution lens for genetic history. Skoglund et al use it to uncover a new, high-resolution genomic history of early medieval Europe 🧪 @natureportfolio.bsky.social @pontus-skoglund.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Researchers from the Crick, @uclofficial.bsky.social and @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social used a new way of analysing ancient DNA to better understand European migrations in 1-1,000 AD Findings were led by Leo Speidel with senior author @pontus-skoglund.bsky.social www.crick.ac.uk/news-and-rep...
