Announced by the ERC today (really bad news for science!!! It starts in Europe but will affect everybody) Because the REVIEWING LOAD is so bad, if your application fails you may need to wait mulitple years (>3?!?) until you can submit again!

The ERC is the lifeline of the leading labs in Europe, so many research programs will be terminated (just no other sources to compensate).

The letter from the ERC says “the only way is to reduce applications” (highlighted in the picture below) No!!!
It's the wrong direction. Use AI to assist review. It’s not perfect (yet), but it allows more proposals to be evaluated, and it could support, not replace, human reviewers.

The pond at #SeaLife Porto is taking shape! This new freshwater #ecosystem will create a refuge for various species, enhancing #urbanbiodiversity.

Part of the #MoRePorto project, it promotes #wetlandconservation in Porto. Stay tuned for more updates!

Have you seen a freshwater mussel in its habitat? 🌍💧
They’re vital for water clarity & biodiversity but are among the most endangered species, with all 6 native to Portugal at risk.
Follow us to learn more about AEE’s work to protect them! #FreshwaterMussels #Conservation

Yesterday at #CIIMARopenday, we had an amazing time presenting our exhibition on the deep ocean and its incredible biodiversity. It was a pleasure to share knowledge and experiences with such a diverse and enthusiastic audience! 🌊🦑 @CiimarUp

We are thrilled to announce that our colleague @AndreMaGoSaP has begun his Junior Research Contract with our group! His research will focus on adaptative genomics of freshwater mussels.

New paper out!

Using the marine hatchetfish as an mtDNA study model, our team presents convincing evidence that mitochondrial replication is the major driver of mtDNA strand asymmetry in vertebrates.

@CiimarUp researcher Elsa Froufe featured in Notícias UP with a study highlighting the critical state of freshwater mussels in Portugal

These results are in line with those observed during the EdgeOmics project

Today we mourn the passing of EO Wilson. Wilson was a giant of evolutionary biology, who among other things, started debates connecting biology & behavior (sociobiology). He completed 30 books and over 400 papers. Rest In Peace. https://t.co/PSL5KJQERl

The #Edgeomics project featured on the @UPorto news portal with the latest work by researchers Elsa Froufe and @AndreMaGoSaP 🤩💪
