In this meeting I have briefly explained #eurodoc origins and how our participation on the drafting of the European Charter for Researchers by @ec.europa.eu was instrumental to help fighting for the basic working rights of early career researchers in Spain and elsewhere.

Ha sido emotivo participar en estas jornadas conmemorativas de los 25 años de la @fjiprecarios.bsky.social y recordar su fundación y los primeros pasos, así como re-encontrarme con compañer@s de esas luchas y conocer a los que las siguen, avanzando en la dignificación del trabajo en investigación. 💪

Happy to share the Biodiversity Cell Atlas white paper, out today in @nature.com. We look at the possibilities, challenges, and potential impacts of molecularly mapping cells across the tree of life. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One week after #ESEB2025, still inspired by great talks, posters and discussions✨. Great time in Barcelona, wonderfully organized, and now back to the PhD with plenty of new ideas! Thanks🙏

Here are all the talks I attended and sketched at #ESEB2025 ! Only a fraction of the 642 speakers at the conference 😮 I had an absolutely amazing week chatting about lots of fascinating science #sciart #eseb #esebcongress @eseb2025.bsky.social

What a great conference #ESEB2025 was! Catching up with, and making new friends 🤓 I also presented our latest results on genetic load. And Barcelona was 👌🏼 Grateful to @monashuniversity.bsky.social & @monashbiol.bsky.social for the FoSc Advancing Diversity in Science Grant @eseb2025.bsky.social

I had a really great time at ESEB 2025. I think the organizers did a great job 👍, and it was a truly gargantuan effort. I am excited that the next ESEB is a hub conference. I hope that future ESEBs also decide to go plant based and plastic free to become even more sustainable. #ESEB2025 #ESEB2027

Thank you #ESEB2025 for a wonderful week of science interactions, symposia, posters, chats with friends old and new. It's such a fantastic conference, the main challenge being choosing among so many wonderful parallel sessions! I loved being in Barcelona and seeing the energy of the organisers.

Had a great time in Barcelona for #ESEB2025! 🌍🧬 Huge thanks to the organizers and my group for making it such a wonderful experience. #evolution

✨ Huge thanks to @eseb2025.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social for an inspiring week of science in #Barcelona! Grateful for the chance to connect with old friends and new colleagues: what a community 🌍 Already looking forward to the next #ESEB in 2027! 🙌 #ESEB2025 @academic-chatter.bsky.social

With my #ESEB2025 tour concluded and myself on the way back, I’m arranging photos taken in #Barcelona. First of all, the Museum of Natural Sciences of Barcelona, which is sweetly located near the conference venue.

Also quite close to the conference venue of #ESEB2025 is Parc de Diagonal Mar. There are a lot of birds (and bugs) here. Very enjoyable to walk around here.

Thanks @tonigabaldon.bsky.social and all others that contributed, for a wonderful #eseb2025 It was amazing!

We are really grateful to everyone who made it so special. Thank you!! 💫 #ESEB2025

So long #ESEB2025! Exciting science & inclusive environment, we will all miss Barcelona. Special thanks to cecilecourret.bsky.social & Beatriz Navarro Dominguez for organizing to the Conflicts symposium. Very grateful for the invite tambien #evolution

So cool to see how my picture was used in all kinds of giveaways at the #ESEB stand at #ESEB2025

About to fly back to Okinawa now! #ESEB2025 is an amazing experience. Also hope I'm not being delayed by typhoon on my way back😂

✨Thank you all for an unforgettable #ESEB2025! The farewell dinner was the perfect ending: full of joy, good company, and some impressive dance moves. 🌍💫

Thank you all for an inspiring week and a memorable farewell dinner! #ESEB2025 🌍✨

✨ Day 5 of #ESEB2025 wrapped! Thanks for an inspiring week: safe travels home, and see some of you tonight 🎉
