Ever wondered how genetically identical, malaria parasites can produce male and female forms in the absence of sex chromosomes or mating loci? Have a look-It's out!😍👉 nature.com/articles/s41586-0… A superb collaboration with the @amtalman lab. @INSB_CNRS @AgenceRecherche LPHI & IRD

Today a student told me she had been feeling sad lately cause she thought she couldnt pursue a Science-related degree… and that after the session she had regained energies & confidence! @Scicling is already worthy…period! @MIVEGEC @MSCActions @ConnectingSci @IRD_fr @IMFAHE

I randomly met today a student from Monday’s session.. he said: ‘Prof, tried again the DNA extraction with a lettuce at home and.. didnt work! I’ll try again tomorrow with a banana’ @Scicling in #tenerife is already worthy! @MIVEGEC @ird_fr @MSCActions @EducacionCan @IMFAHE

A little tribute to Manolo Carbajo, the retired English teacher who has made @Scicling in Asturias possible. We treated ourselves with a ride up to Los Lagos de Covadonga… & my bro escorting us! @ird_fr @MIVEGEC @IMFAHE @MSCActions @Mariecurie_alum @IPMontevideo
