Este #8M, Día Internacional de las Mujeres, nos vemos en las calles para reclamar un espacio público y digital que también nos pertenece a nosotras. 

👉 Sin violencia, sin miedo y sin silenciamiento.

Somos fuertes y estamos unidas.

The SMBE IDEA Task Force stands with all women doing science: cis and trans, in every country, under every condition. In war zones, under authoritarian regimes, where their existence is an act of resistance.

March 8 carries weight. Science is only as strong as who it includes.

Genomic Perplexity and the Evolution of Context-Dependent Function Abstract. The fundamental principle that selection acts on a gene’s function often assumes implicitly that this function is fixed and intrinsic. However, e

The big idea: genes don't have fixed functions. Function emerges from context - genomic, cellular, environmental. And we can quantify this. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Mehmet Somel (Middle East Technical University, Turkey) will join us in Copenhagen to present a plenary talk on the latest advances in human evolution, at SMBE 2026.

I am very sorry to learn about Pierre's death. He was a great colleague. My condolences to his family, lab members and friends.

The last two days to vote for the Flyboard elections. Don't put it off any longer. Vote now!!!

Also, if you are on the fence, please register for #Dros26. I just did!

Excited to spend 28 Feb at Istanbul University discussing sexual selection with students. From Darwin to modern days, we'll talk about history, biology and philosophy of sexual selection theory.

👥 SMBE is accepting proposals to host its 2029 International meeting; expressions of interest from a prospective local organizing committee headed by an SMBE member should be sent ASAP

Congrats Gael @retrogenomics.bsky.social 🎉🎉

Very excited to be going to the Annual Drosophila Research Conference @genetics-gsa.bsky.social in Chicago this March. I think #Dros26 is the hashtag. There is still time for you to register! The fly community is so welcoming and supportive—if you are new to flies please consider going.

Come to Alacant!! #Drosophila @droseu.bsky.social
