This year #E3B seminar series at @ETH_en/@UZH_ch ended with an amazing talk from @multicellgenome on animals' origin. It was a blast haiving Iñaki here, sharing scientific ideas and career experiences. Looking forward to get to know the #magnificent8!
Our team is on a mission to find the 'Magnificent 8'-eight elusive lineages closely related to animals but yet to be discovered.
eDNA data suggests this glacial Spanish lake may harbor some of those "known unknown" relatives. So, here we are!
Could this serene spot hold the key to understanding the origin of animals? Stay tuned! 🌊🔬

We're recruiting! Multiple postdoc and PhD positions at the University of Lausanne. Official adverts will be out soon, but you can have a sneak peek. Informal enquires are encouraged - if you like our papers, we want to hear from you! https://t.co/ftpM9Mt4A7
Hi Friends,
I'm excited to announce that I set up a crowdfunding campaign for my sugar selection system for antibiotic-free cloning! Finally formalizing this project; it's been a dream for too long now. Every penny counts; please RT!

I had quite some fun drawing this cover for @GenomeBiolEvol linked to the recent paper from @SWielgoss and colleagues on M. xanthus mutation rate and effective population size. Read more about it here https://t.co/PoefCDQDXn
It is ONLINE!🥳 https://t.co/ODUYPOYgdI is for those interested in evolution. It showcases past, present, and future evolution experiments run with #Myxobacteria. Social selection, microbial development, predation, evolutionary dynamics, and much more. Enjoy and share!
This is great stuff! Is embryonal-like multicellular development ancestral to animals? Is (crazy) convergent evolution due to the inherent properties of cellular multicellularity? It's fascinating, and it raises so many questions!

When it comes to publishing, a young scientist can listen to science twitter that talks about the DORA declaration, preprints, & post publication peer review. Or they can listen to ERC consolidator grant reviewers who mostly rewarded people w/ multiple Nature & Cell family pubs.
📕 New book out!
Evolvability: A Unifying Concept in #Evolutionary Biology? 🌱

@laszlognagy One of the best things I ever witnessed was a talk where ppl did scRNAseq, and then, because of too noisy data, they averaged signals across individual samples...
Our latest review paper by @picot, @shota483_IL and @oliMeacock is out! We discuss how to couple experiments and models when measuring inter-species interactions in microbes (1/3) https://t.co/W8uqfKMsld
@tristamoeba I find this phenomenon quite interesting, especially given similar observations I made with myxobacteria belonging to the genus Chondromyces
