(1/2) Thrilled to have arrived in Portugal 🇵🇹 this week for my postdoc at the @gimmfoundation.bsky.social with @monicabettencourt.bsky.social!

First flight after defending!

Happy to be the next (and 1st female) @crg.eu director. The CRG always stood out to me, for its excellence in understanding life's principles, with implications for health and biodiversity, & its collaborative, open and innovative way of doing science. Thrilled to join its amazing community in 2026!

Our recent study exploring the mechanisms behind hybrid incompatibility in Caenorhabditis Elegans nematodes is now available at @currentbiology.bsky.social! Many thanks to my collaborators at UCSD - @odlab.bsky.social @greenbeegreen.bsky.social and the Rifkin Lab! www.cell.com/current-biol...

This is truly BRILLIANT science communication—clear, compelling, & convincing while also fast, funny, & entertaining Like most of those working in science & public health, based on the best available evidence I believe Covid was zoonotic in origin—& this superb episode makes me even more convinced

So happy to have defended my thesis last week! Looking forward to next steps! Thank you to the members of the Rifkin lab, OD lab @odlab.bsky.social , and especially Dr. Rebecca Green @greenbeegreen.bsky.social for mentorship and support throughout my degree!
