I am pleased to share that one of the projects of my PhD dissertation is published today in
@CurrentBiology where we investigated human mobility patterns in Southwest Asia and the East Mediterranean over time.

That's no beard! It's a bean clam hydroid, more closely related to jellyfish and anemones. They are adapted to attach to bean clams! The clams are super mobile on the beach, following the tide up and down, and the hydroid takes advantage. It therefore gets carried to the best food that it filter-feeds. The bean clam might be hindered in mobility slightly, but also is a bit less palatable to predators! #clamFacts nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/Cnidaria

'The former head of the European Central Bank, Jean-Claude Trichet, even argued in a speech on 17th May that eurozone states should be able to declare fellow members bankrupt, and take over their tax and spending policy. Germany is in the unenviable position of being the only country with the clout to take on such a role, and there are already too many insults about a Fourth Reich in Europe.'

'A number of studies focusing on directed and transdifferentiation processes showed that differentiation can proceed by multiple routes and yet converge onto similar transcriptional states [11,12], consistent with the view that terminally differentiated cell states are “attractor basins” in a transcriptional and signaling differentiation landscape.'

Interesting. I have been using a cross-poster to bring tweets between Twitter and Mastodon - crossposter.masto.donte.com.br - Mastodon posts no longer are allowed onto Twitter - Twitter is severely limiting third party tools. This is really, really bad news.

Latour by Woolgar:

"At a lecture at the University of Oxford in 2003, a junior researcher dared to interrupt Bruno to point out a logical inconsistency. Bruno paused, and exclaimed: “But I am French!”, to rapturous applause."

"Mendel was promoted unexpectedly to abbot in 1868 and rapidly found himself embroiled in legal cases involving the tax status of the monastery. He continued to do some science—meteorology and beekeeping being his two main interests—but his research was largely eclipsed by his administrative work."

#Introduction

I am an Associate Professor at Católica Biomedical Research Centre #CBR, co-affiliated with Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência #IGC, Portugal.

Our group works on Host-Microbe interactions, using #Drosophila, #Wolbachia, #microbiota, and #viruses.

I coordinate #SymbNET, a #EUHorizon2020 Twinning
network on Host-Microbe #Symbiosis, #Genomics and #Metabolomics (symbnet.eu).

My first reaction was "No, this is Art." But then I realised I agree wit Edan.
