Break the selective silence on the genocide in Gaza Substantial and well-documented evidence indicates a catastrophic public health emergency in Gaza (appendix pp 1–5), marked by severe food insecurity and alarming levels of malnutrition-related deaths...

highly significant letter in The Lancet outlining evidence of genocide in Gaza. Israel must stop now. The world (including the scientific community) must speak clearly and ensure accountability.

That this can happen in our time is a moral failure

yesterday at the @prbb.org, we celebrated the third meeting with the families participating in Projecte BiSC. A great opportunity for dialogue, to thank them for their contribution and to tell them about our research at @isglobal.org

Clinical translation of microbiome research - Nature Medicine This Review summarizes recent and compelling examples of microbiome-based interventions that are ripe for clinical adoption while also discussing the challenges and opportunities facing the field.

Me and a few of my mates got together and wrote a review on the current state of clinical translation of microbiome research.

A great summary of the state of the art for microbiome research.

El tabaquisme passiu en la infància marca l’ADN - El·lipse ISGlobal ha visto que el tabaquisme passiu en la infància causa alteracions en l’ADN que podrien promoure l’aparició de malalties en adults

Un estudi de Mariona Bustamante i Marta Cosin-Tomàs d'@isglobal.org confirma que ser fumador passiu 🚬 durant la infància pot portar grans problemes en l’edat adulta, ja que l'ADN 🧬 de nens i nenes exposats al tabac tendeix a patir canvis epigenètics.

Science takes time - a lot of time. Time that is more and more difficult to make available because of increased workloads. Time that exceeds the temporary contracts of postdocs and PhDs.

I'll illustrate this using our paper published in Nature yesterday. 🧵 (1/x)

interesting reading on how climate disasters particularly hit vulnerable groups: less able to adapt to future events and the most affected in climate adaptation projects-related displacements
