Pleasure giving a recap of a wonderful PopGroup conference, and the opportunity to talk about my research.
🔥

It was an honour to talk at PopGroup!

Thanks to the organisers for making it a very memorable event 🥳

How your emails find me… (I haven’t read them yet)

We are looking for PhD applicants! ‼️Interested in genomics, ecophysiology and adaptation? Look at our TREES DLA project:

We also offer more projects via ROUTE2. Get in touch and let’s have a chat 💬

Hi Folks !

Just a few more days to register for the POPGROUP meeting (deadline = this Monday 10/11/2025).

Join us in the beautiful city of #Lille just across the Channel for three exciting days of science and more !

Mitonuclear interactions and early-life diet shape adult nutritional behaviour Abstract. Mitochondrial function relies on close coordination between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. Disruption to this coordination—via mitonuclea

Hot of the press #mitochondria paper!! 🎉 @jevbio.bsky.social

New evidence that #mitonuclear discordance and early-life #diet jointly shape development and adult behaviour in #Drosophila. 🪰🦠🧬🍝

We are in Bluesky and we are happy to share our two last consortium publications: the DrosEU expanded DEST dataset and a Continent-wide study of phenotypic differentiation among European #Drosophila melanogaster populations (1/7)

Highlight of the day…
Dog Halloween costume arrived.

Not sure he is as excited as we are… 😅

Felicidades!
Muy bien! 🎉🥳

Todays highlight is finding out some rebel took a video-recording camera to the 1989 showing of the Phantom of the Opera and filmed the whole show.

Two that I have pictures for, from UCL. Finley Grover presenting his work on the signatures of local adaptation in mtDNA in humans. @ugiatucl.bsky.social

Congrats Ed and team! Ace paper

If we could spot mitochondrial challenges, then I’d be out of a job 😅

Editorial: Accountability, voice, and trust - responsible use of GenAI in scientific publishing Over the last few years, the development and rapid advancement of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatG

Many of us are using LLMs in coding and scientific writing. They are very helpful tools, but we need to be thoughtful as we integrate them into our work flows to preserve accountability, voice and trust. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan.... An editorial at @evolletters.bsky.social for discussion:

Looking forward to #ESEB2025!

If you fancy mitochondria & mito-nuclear interactions, let’s have a chat!

UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

We are recruiting for a Research Technician to support our lab's experimental evolution work with Drosophila melanogaster at UCL. Do you have recent insect husbandry experience and want to be a key part of an academic research environment? We'd love to hear from you www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

ProcB

🔥 Super happy with this new paper led by @sbradshaw26.bsky.social and collab with @andrewpom.bsky.social 🔥 published in Proc B today

We find that meiotic drive impacts metabolic phenotypes: mito function, metabolic rate and food consumption

Fantastic opportunity in a great department

Could you give some more info, please? Could be interesting :)

Climate associated natural selection in the human mitochondrial genome https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.23.655374v1

Thrilled to share our latest preprint! 🎉🔥

We analysed >23k mtDNA genomes & found 18 variants shaped by climate—linked to thermogenesis, metabolism & disease.

Led by PhD student Finley Grover-Thomas, and in collab with: @aidaandres.bsky.social @lucyvandorp.bsky.social @proffballoux.bsky.social

Unless you are a Rob lookalike imposter trying to steal top secrets…

(The lookalike bit is how you got into the phone using faceID).

Ours got accepted!

🤨

Not ours. Ageing one…
