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

"Budget cuts for 39B, European Researchers in turmoil". News about #HorizonEU budget cut on the Italian newspaper @repubblica. Early career researchers ask the Italian government and MEP to fight for more funding for research and innovation! @GiuseppeConteIT @manfredi_min

I’m thinking of starting a short series of Zoom seminars for parasitologists (early PIs- recently tenured) to give a talk covering 1) their research & 2) their story w/ a Q & A. I’d really like to talk to PIs who have recently gotten academic positions. LMK if interested!

Con respecto al PCR para testar COVID-19 en escuelas y universidades: No tenemos un problema tecnológico Tenemos un problema de implementación y de gestión inoperante Podríamos tener la capacidad que hiciera falta en pocas semanas No lo tenemos por la disfunción del sistema

This is my last bulletin of evolutionary biology as graphic editor. Was a beautiful project brought to life with several enthusiastic biology students that wanted to do public engagement in Colombia. Hope it continues for several years more. Thanks to @colevol and @H_ArenasCastro
