Great visit of IBMB & IRB at Parc Científic de Barcelona where I gave a seminar. Thank you wonderful host Marta Llimargas, for generous & warm hospitality. Amazing science! With IBMB Director Elisa Martí we explored potential international collaboration. Funded by neuroRed Project, FTMA-BBSRC.
#Women are underrepresented in academia, especially in #STEMM fields, top institutions & in senior positions. Analysis of millions of biomed & life science articles reveal that female-authored articles spend longer under review than comparable male-authored ones @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4658FZN

Thank you very much Sofia for being such a super-host! I had a wonderful day full of science fun and great company.
The initiator #caspase Dronc can trigger compensatory #apoptosis -induced proliferation (AiP). This study shows that Dronc-dependent Ca2+ influx into the cytosol is an important contributor to AiP & DUOX activation in #Drosophila (& likely in vertebrates) @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4pNG4PK

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
This Monday we had the pleasure to receive @aliciahidalgolab.bsky.social at #CABD for a workshop and a scientific talk. The workshop explained research opportunities at @unibirmingham.bsky.social. At the talk Alicia exposed the latest results from her team.
