Vàrem aprendre molt junts 🙃

Very happy to share that Adrià Auladell @adriaula.bsky.social has received the ‘Exceptional Thesis Award’ from the UAB for his thesis ‘Seasonality of marine prokaryotes using taxonomic and functional diversity approaches’ co-supervised by Pep Gasol & myself 🤩🎉

Last week we attended the Jornades de Biologia Evolutiva, organized by the @scb.iec.cat 🧫

@matteoagazzi.bsky.social and @rociomozo.bsky.social did a great job presenting their advances on their coral HMW and HiC data generation and Suessiales de novo transcriptomics projects🧬🤩

Keep it up folks!☺️

Frente a los desafíos que enfrenta el océano, asombrarnos nos recuerda que formamos parte de algo más grande 🐳🌍

#WorldOceanDay2025

🔵 Ya en Niza, para asistir a la Tercera Conferencia de los Océanos de la ONU. Un encuentro clave para la protección de los océanos que debe estar guiado por la ciencia y la acción urgente.

Proteger los océanos es una responsabilidad compartida: los desafíos globales necesitan respuestas globales 🌊

Very excited to share our preprint on a new resource: the Encyclopaedia of Viral Anti-Defence Systems (EVADES)! This is the main result of my PhD at ‪EMBL-EBI (@ebi.embl.org)‬
and the University of Cambridge (@cam.ac.uk‬)! 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵1/n"

And it's happening! Here we are at the opening ceremony of the @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social .
A week to do science and community. Our best wishes to all the attendees!

Adrián Escudero, full of emotion, receives the ECOSISTEMAS - Luis Balaguer award.
Congrats, Adrián!

Mario Pansera: "more science produces more innovation; more innovation, more creation; and more creation, more destruction.
Provokative and thoughful talk.

Elena Ojea is outlining the impacts that #ClimateChange is provoking on marine ecosystems. Marine species are shifting their ranges around 60km per year! Very concerning for the mature but also for the sea-dependent human communities.

⛰️ Friday 6 June: field trip day!
After a week of intense science, it's time to put our feet on the ground (and on the coast 🌊). The last day is dedicated to technical field trips, a unique opportunity to explore some of the most emblematic and diverse landscapes of Galicia... with a scientific eye!

🖼️🌿 Science can also be experienced outside the halls!
During the III SIBECOL & XVII AEET Meeting you will be able to enjoy a series of parallel exhibitions that broaden the ecological view from art, narrative, activism and education.

Novel color via stimulation of individual photoreceptors at population scale Image display by cell-by-cell retina stimulation, enabling colors impossible to see under natural viewing.

Five people have seen a color never before visible to the naked human eye, thanks to a new retinal stimulation technique called Oz.

Bogs and other types of peatlands are critical to combating the climate crisis, preserving biodiversity, and more.

Yet, peatlands are under increased threat.

The Global Peatlands Map 2.0 provides key data on the status of peatlands: wesrmapportal.unep.org/portal/apps/...
