Physicist? PhD in Physics of Complex Systems. Currently at CEAB-CSIC. Interested in ecology, epidemiology, AI, remote sensing, quantitative finances, economy, philosophy of science... I code in Julia and Python. 🌐 agimenezromero.github.io

Nice work from our PhD student, Juan Carlos Rodríguez-Cabanillas! @mamatias26.bsky.social Here we develop an epidemic model that links thermal-dependent within-host pathogen dynamics to host infectiousness (age of infection). And some counterintuitive results appear... Check it out!

🦠 Un estudi del BSC i l'IRB qüestiona la idea que la complexitat cel·lular sorgís a partir d'una única trobada evolutiva i apunta a un procés gradual d'interaccions entre diferents microorganismes que va durar milions d'anys. 🔘 Publicat a Nature. ➡ www.bsc.es/4ig (🎨Il·lustracions: Laura Fraile)

🚨 New paper out! We show that the resolution of climate data matters for predicting disease risk. High-resolution maps reveal local risks — especially in river valleys — that coarser data miss. This has a significant impact on a global scale. 🔗 rdcu.be/eH67i @ifisc.uib-csic.es @csic.es @uib.cat
