Secuenciar un genoma humano pasó de requerir meses y enormes costes a poder hacerse en apenas un día. Este avance debe mucho al trabajo de David Klenerman, Shankar Balasubramanian y Pascal Mayer, #PremioPrincesadeAsturias de Investigación 2026 - @fpa  fpa.es/es/premios-princesa-d…

Me piden ser científico, pero mi día a día es de gestor elpais.com/ciencia/2026-05-1… a través de @el_pais

Científico y escritor! No se lo pierdan! 👇

BUENO.... HA LLEGADO EL MOMENTO... EL CIERRE DE LA TRILOGÍA DE GARBI YA ESTÁ AQUÍ. MÁS LOCA, HILARANTE, DESCARRIADA, IRREVERENTE Y ÁCIDA QUE NUNCA. NUNCA UN CIERRE DE CÍRCULO FUE MÁS CAÓTICO. ¡GRACIAS QUERID@S LECTOR@S POR ESTA AVENTURA JUNTOS! 😘

At long last, the great mystery has been cracked. So that’s why there are so many fools wandering the earth. Truly, nothing escapes science.

Debatir entre demócratas de distinta ideologia es muy interesante y necesario. pero no donde participan personas que no han condenado el golpe fascista ni la dictadura posterior. Los democratas y las personas que tienen familia en las cunetas, se merecen vuestro respeto

This is Mariano Barbacid, a Spanish cancer researcher who recently made the news after finding a cure for an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer in mice. His lab developed a new triple therapy regimen targeting the KRAS cancer pathway, implicated in 90% of pancreatic cancers. The combination of daraxonsib, a RAS(ON) inhibitor, afatinib (EGFR/HER2 inhibitor) and SD36 (a selective STAT3 PROTAC) led to complete elimination of tumour cells over a 200 day study period, bringing much needed hope to this often devastating condition.

Lamentamos con tristeza el fallecimiento del Prof. Enrique Cerdá Olmedo, fundador del Dpto de Genética de la Facultad de Biología de la @unisevilla Transmitimos nuestro pesar a familia, amig@s y miembros de su brillante escuela sevillana de Genética. diariodesevilla.es/sevilla/m…

Hoy despedimos con enorme tristeza a Enrique Cerdá Olmedo, figura fundamental para la genética en España y en el mundo. Mentor incansable y científico de referencia, deja una huella imborrable en nuestra comunidad.  Gracias por tu pasión por la ciencia. DEP, Profesor Cerdá

Sometimes the best projects start with an unexpected observation! Our new paper just published in @NatureComms began when Klaudia Kołodziejska, a PhD student from my lab, noticed that worms started releasing more extracellular vesicles whenever their plates became contaminated🤔

Congratulations to the @OdedRechavi lab on this outstanding work in Nature Neuroscience, showing that cold and lithium dramatically delay forgetting — in other words, extend memory. Thrilled to be part of this breakthrough! 👏🥳💪 nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Happy Christmas and Happy 2026 fellows!

El bioquímico español Pedro Cuatrecasas murió por un cáncer en marzo tras una vida asombrosa en la que pudo ganar dos Nobel en EE UU. Es lamentable la falta de homenajes en España. Su discípulo @LabSaltiel acaba de publicar este obituario en @NatureBiotech nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

Happy to see this finally out! We have coordinated a network where many labs from different institutes in South Spain have participated. Our aim is to join efforts to support the use and develop of genome and RNA editing tools and research models in biomedicine (1/2)

We have generated a catalog where many resources are shared to ultimately establish collaborations within the region but also national and internationally. If you feel that you can also support the network contact and join us! Take a look to the website: biogenec.andaluciabiotec.csi…

Postdoc is still very popular in science & engineering. Perhaps, that’s why it doesn’t get much better. 2004: 49.2% 2014: 47.9% 2019: 45.5% 2024: 45.8% This is the Postdoc Rate according to the NSF SED reports. Despite low salary, under-appreciation, anxiety and uncertainty. Despite challenging career prospects. I may be wrong, but… I think it might be the reason WHY so little is changing for postdocs There is simply no incentive to improve the life of postdocs if the postdoc rate doesn’t drop. 📍 What I learned in my academic career: - Only few postdoc get faculty positions. - Postdoc does NOT give advantage when applying to industry (only for specific niches, primarily in biotech). - Postdoc pushes you into an academic track. People don’t see you as an industry person. - Salaries are often low. Supporting a family during postdoc requires real survival skills. So - unless you have an outstanding PhD profile and can land a faculty position later (or if you have immigration status to solve), postdoc position is hard to justify. Especially when high-tech industry is booming. 🛑 For PhD students - if you’re considering a postdoc, check out a Q&A session that I recorded during an academic workshop in Swiss Alps: “Postdocs: Competition, Faculty Positions & Industry” Watch it on here: youtu.be/YJm9pyb5xwY ____

Agradecemos profundamente a @diariosevilla por hacerse eco y dar visibilidad de nuestro último trabajo de investigación.

A todos aquellos que estéis en Sevilla…..no perder la oportunidad de escuchar a Rafa!! Es un auténtico crack!!
