Absoluta maravilla esta conversación con mi amigo @pablofuente.com y una de las mejores científicas del planeta @nogaleslab.bsky.social @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social!

1 lab radically shaking up biology's floor is easily @delafuentelab.bsky.social who visited @psumbiome.bsky.social today. AI in biology will not be the same after the work, which notably was hard to get funded; and people did not believe it would yield just 5-10 years ago. Big social lessons there!

Excited to be visiting @psumbiome.bsky.social on December 5 to give a lecture! Looking forward to engaging with students and faculty — see you there! www.psu.edu/news/huck-in...

César de la Fuente, biotecnólogo y profesor de la Universidad de Pensilvania: «Mi sueño es que Galicia se convierta en un polo de biotecnología y de IA a nivel mundial»

Honored to join the #VinFuturePrize Science for Life Symposia panel on AI Ethics & Safety for Humanity with brilliant minds like Hinton, @yoshuabengio.bsky.social, Valiant, Cerf, Luu, Prestes & @tobywalsh.bsky.social. Grateful to help shape the global AI ethics conversation. 🌍🤖

Thank you @asm.org for inviting me to the first ASM event in India. The IISc Global Research Symposium on the One Health Approach to Antimicrobial Resistance was a powerful example of what’s possible for AMR research there. The scientific talent here is extraordinary—excited to see what comes next.

It’s an honor and a privilege to be included in the 2025 #FuturePerfect25 list, which celebrates the fight for a healthier, fairer future. I’m humbled to be part of this ambitious project from @voxdotcom.bsky.social and in the company of so many changemakers I revere. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Honored to be recognized once again among the top 1% of the world’s most highly cited researchers by @clarivate.com. This is a testament to the relentless curiosity and hard work of my team. Grateful for their dedication to pushing the frontiers of science.
