I had the honour to be at a talk by Phillip Ball in Oxford where he talked about his book about the new biology. I was skeptical at first about this statement but he managed to explain it so gracefully that it all immediately made sense. He really has a visionary take on biology!

I've been reflecting a lot these days about the role of creativity in science, how we're not though of as creative people because we work with numbers and logic. I left some of my thoughts in this post if anyone's interested 🥰❤️ https://t.co/g93Y7iNYNd #bioinformatics #science

Last week I attended the X-meeting in Brazil. I had a blast! I showcased my research, presented a research project for the Brazilian Bioinformatics League and won the third place! It was a week full of amazing science, great encounters and lots of fun❤️ #bioinformatics #bioinfo

Super excited to share that my team and I (Wet Lab Sucks) are going to the finals of the #BrazilianBioinformaticsLeague! 🥳🧬 It's been an amazing journey so far and I'm extremely proud of how far we've come ❤️ #LBB finals, here we go! 🚀

The academic journey

Next stop: Costa Rica! 🇨🇷 Super excited and grateful for this huge opportunity! As a biologist getting into AI this will definitely boost up my career and research! Can't wait to spend time sharing knowledge and learning from other researchers of the field! #AIxBio #Bioinfo

I’m taking a break from my mental health to focus on my academic work

Today I learned a valuable lesson. NEVER run OMAmer with the LUCA database on my own computer. HPCs exist for a reason and the reason found me and slapped the hell out of me. (I had to make the meme, laugh out my disgrace) #bioinformatics #HPC #omamer #proteome

I've been having deep thoughts about my research goals and how I ended up stuck between wanting to be a bioinformatician but being mostly formed to be a computational biologist. I feel like in Latin America we haven't talked enough about the differences, it's all in the same bag.

Lifestyle is a stronger predictor of aging and mortality than genetics. A new Nature study of ~500,000 people found: 🎯 17% of mortality variation was linked to lifestyle (exposome). 🧬 <2% of was explained by genetics. Here’s what you need to know 👇🧵 1/10

The irony

Researcher: "We let the data speak for itself." Earlier that day:

In a recent #SciencePolicyForum, researchers call for broader discussion on the risks of creating "mirror life"—lifeforms composed entirely of mirror-image biological molecules. Read more: https://t.co/TWXZF5uh26
