Overjoyed to receive the Statistical Portuguese Society Award 2023! Grateful to @spestatistica for the recognition. I couldn't have done it without the unwavering support of my supervisors, @drizopoulos and @ERandrinopoulou. This award is as much theirs as it is mine! 🙏

The @45graus discussion about Critical Thinking in Science (in Portuguese) is out! Many thanks to brilliant @pimenteljm for the opportunity and for gambling on an inexperienced and non-expert interlocutor.
Uma excelente conversa sobre Ciência com Nuno Barbosa Morais, coordenador do @NMoraisLab. Falámos da Crise da Replicação na Ciência, vieses cognitivos, incentivos perversos, Big data, IA e vários outros desafios a quem faz Ciência hoje. Não percam!

So happy to see @helenaapinheiro's fireworks making it to the cover of @NatImmunol! 🎉
Really happy to see my artwork on the cover of @NatImmunol depicting the work of @riggan19ucla from @OSullivanLab on the formation of memory precursor NK cells and their fireworks-like trajectories!!

We went to lovely Viana for our retreat, where we very discussed our science and reflected on the lab’s qualities and plans for the coming years. Most importantly, we had a lot of fun (and great food) together, after a long hiatus in big outings. @ImprensaViana @IMMolecular

My grandmother didn't want to get vaccinated with 'strange new mRNA stuff'. I explained it with a sketch & cooking analogy. She's now been vaccinated with the BionTech vaccine. I thought this might be useful for others who know vaccine skeptics, too. Feel free to share, use & RT:

Illustration I made recently about a promising vaccine for malaria. Check the paper @ScienceTM by Prudêncio lab from @IMMolecular
Two vaccines for #malaria based on genetically engineered malaria parasites have been found to be safe in humans and show preliminary signs of protection, according to a pair of new phase 1/2a clinical trials in @ScienceTM. https://t.co/VRixBoz2Ru
