Big ⁦‪@icreacommunity‬⁩ day for our 25th anniversary. (Humble, honoured, proud and happy to be part of this community) Now words of recognition to prof. Mas-Colell for his leading role founding icrea.

This has been my last meeting as president of @sesbe-org.bsky.social and I wish all the best for the new board, led by the excellent newly elected president @isabelalmudi.bsky.social . I am sure they will do amazing things.

Congratulations to @paucarazo.bsky.social and the other organizers of the #sesbe2026 meeting of the @sesbe-org.bsky.social . It has been a wonderful conference with nice talks, posters and networking, I the wonderful city of Valencia, my home town.

Yes! Congratulations! Very proud of Moisès!

Moisès Bernabéu from the group presented our work on the origins of the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor at #sesbe2026. Multiple interacting partners shaped our ancestor’s genome

Con los presis del 1er (Manuel Soler) y 2o (Andrés Moya) períodos de la @sesbe-org.bsky.social hemos hecho un breve repaso de los 20 años de historia de nuestra sociedad. Aquí en #sesbe2026 acaba mi ciclo, satisfecho de haber contribuido, y con la certeza de q la SESBE va a tener un gran futuro. 🎂

Presenting the first poster from the lab on invasive and native species at the X SESBE meeting. #SESBE2026 @sesbe-org.bsky.social @hanhtkvu.bsky.social @riutortlab.bsky.social @jrozasub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social

As always, extremely high quality in the PhD thesis research awarded with the Pere Alberch prize by the @sesbe-org.bsky.social , excellent talk too by the awardee Laia Marin from @aruizherrera.bsky.social lab. Congratulations! #sesbe2026

Now Edu Ocaña Pallarès, previous postdoc in the group, now PI at UOC presenting the timetree of fungi, calibrated with fossils and HGT. Nice to see #fungi at the paleobiology session in #sesbe2026

It has been a pleasure to present my latest work at @sesbe-org.bsky.social meeting. Hope to see it published soon ✊🏻🤞🏻

Comença en València el X congrés de la @sesbe-org.bsky.social i anit es va inaugurar una exposició fotogràfica extraordinària al Botànic que usa el fil conductor de l’evolució. Més que recomanable!

Several of us are attending #sesbe2026 in Valencia. Today Saioa Manzano @microbiobits.bsky.social presented her work on evolution of Asgard archea genomes, showing they show a blend of eukaryotic-like and prokaryotic like processes.

📣 #paper "Uncovering actionable trade-offs of antifungal resistance in a yeast pathogen" Check out our new publication in @molsystbiol.org where we systematically map stress-related trade-off associated with drug resistance in Candida glabrata (N. glabratus) link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Twelve scientists from Chile, India, Nigeria, Singapore and Taiwan have been selected as new EMBO Global Investigators – Congratulations to the new cohort! 🧪 Read the press release: https://www.embo.org/press-releases/twelve-scientists-become-embo-global-investigators/ #funding #training

I am very happy (and a bit scared) to present to you what we have been working on over the last 4 years. This manuscript is exactly what I dreamt of when I started the lab and I could not be happier and prouder of the outcome!

This work didn't happen in a vacuum and benefited by wonderful collaborators in our lab, namely Elsa Iliopoulou and Claire Julliot de La Morandière, as well as the labs of @jsb-ucla.bsky.social and @tonigabaldon.bsky.social.

5/ 🔬 Toni Gabaldón @irbbarcelona.org, leads a project to tackle candidiasis. His team aims to improve diagnosis and design new therapies by studying how different Candida species adapt to antifungal drugs and interact with the immune system.

Los análisis genéticos sugieren que el virus de la peste porcina africana no salió del laboratorio de la Generalitat que estaba a cientos de metros, según los primeros resultados "no concluyentes" de @tonigabaldon.bsky.social elpais.com/ciencia/2025...
