partially (and finally) migrated to bluesky:

When I was a graduate student at Caltech, I found one of the first left-handed forms of DNA (Nature 1980). Dozens of "experts" told me it was "impossible". Some with Nobel Prizes. They did everything they could to delay such an important discovery! 🤡 Even Francis Crick. Since

Could horizontal transfer be abundant not just in bacteria but also in eukaryotes? A recent work by Pianezza R, Haider A, Scarpa A, Signor S and Kofer R finds 3 HTs of transposons in a mere 30years. https://t.co/8rgSmtWnA2 #evolution #drosophila

Congratulations to our #PhD student @Philipp_Hummer ! He has been awarded with the SMBE Graduate Student Excellence Award by @OfficialSMBE #genomics #evolution

Someone made a helpful guide to accessing scientific papers:

Our very own #PhD student @Almoro_Scarpa is giving tomorrow's #PopGen Seminar! He will tell us about "Two centuries of transposable element invasions in #Drosophila melanogaster." Full schedule and streaming details at https://t.co/TksN3S0C5v #evolution

Me resulta incomprensible que los ingenieros en software sean tan anti-comunistas cuando el 99% del desarrollo de software se basa en programas de código abierto y gratuito. Es decir, efectivamente los medios de producción son gratis y accesibles a todos.

So so so so true!!

We are recruiting two PhD students on polygenic adaptation!

From octopuses to snails, the complicated molluscan family tree has now been mapped in unprecedented detail, researchers report in Science. This includes sequences for 13 new complete genomes from across the phylum. https://t.co/C9uchQxdib

This only happens to you once. 😃

Awwww did someone take your hard work and use it to train a model to mimic your expertise without compensation

I'm thrilled to announce that our lab has relocated to @MPI_EvolBio MPI for Evolutionary Biology 🥳. I had a great experience starting my group at the institute of Population Genetics @PopGenVienna , and enjoyed collaborating with the population genetics community in Vienna.

this tweet is my roman empire

Happy to have shared my research at #popgroup58 In my presentation I showed how haplotype structure and population structure can shape the selection response later on

Artists, writers, filmmakers: Please integrate COVID into your cultural work. Avoiding COVID in your content erases a critical part of history. And we all know what horrible things can happen when we as a society fail to learn from history.

after 7? 8? hours delay finally on my way to Sheffield for #popgroup58
