Fantástica jornada "¿Cómo tu ciencia puede ayudar a la sostenibilidad?" organizada por @iatacsic.bsky.social y el @i2sysbio.bsky.social. Conocimos la ciencia en sostenibilidad de @dicv.csic.es y nos inspiramos para aplicar nuestros conocimientos a este problema. Pensando ya en futuras actividades!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Delighted to share this paper out via Virus Evolution: academic.oup.com/ve/advance-a... in which we develop and assess a quantitative method to infer phage and bacterial mutations driving changes in infection phenotypes arising in coevolutionary dynamics. a 🧵 about people (and some science)

A reminder for any academics who needs to hear it: there are SO many ways to serve the scientific community. Choose the ones that fulfill you, bring you joy (even if they are hard), and are in line with your values. It’s okay to say no/ resign/change tracks! And put your efforts/energy elsewhere.

Research on cultural and technological evolution is thriving at our Institute of Evolutionary Biology, which makes me very happy. It is an exciting time for multidisciplinary approaches to biological evolution! #CultEvo

Are the major evolutionary transitions describable as phase transitions, as in statistical physics? A great example of this is the transition to eukaryotic cells, as shown by this excellent paper by Jordi Bascompte and co-workers europepmc.org/api/fulltext...
