With Eugene Koonin, we wrote a rather comprehensive review on the origin, evolution and organization of the #virosphere. We describe all 10 viral realms and the logic behind them, and so much more. Check it out! comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/biologies/ar...

We are recruiting maternity cover for our Comms and Engagement Lead here @cvrinfo.bsky.social, the largest virus research centre in the UK.
Hybrid working options, generous salary, great people. Please share!
Here's your regular reminder that viruses can be alive OR dead: purified tobacco mosaic virus virions from 1979, sedimenting at 1G since then at 4C - about as alive as NaCl. Alive when rubbed onto a plant about 10 years ago, though 😁
We recently hosted our first ever International day for Biodiversity event in @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social.
Thank you to our keynote, Dr Cathy Maguire from the Office for Environmental Protection, speakers, poster contributors, & organising committee for helping make the event such a success
Took a long time to get this done, 2-3 years on Figure 1 alone but glad it's finally out!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
