One month ago, I defended my bachelor's thesis on mitonuclear incompatibilities in F2 swordtail hybrids. This project confirmed how much I enjoy asking questions, making sense of unexpected results, and doing research. It was such a rewarding experience 💛 A big thank you to my mentor, Molly!

La situación global a veces me abruma, pero hoy encontré esperanza al unirme a un espacio comunitario con el CINVESTAV Mérida y las Chelemeras, mujeres que reforestan manglares. Me inspira ver comunidades apoyándose en causas tan nobles y ser parte de ello. Gracias, sin duda seguiré asistiendo ❤️‍🩹

El laboratorio de Paleogenómica nos deleitó con la presentación del estudiante Eduardo Arrieta Donato acerca de mitogenomas de camellos prehistóricos. Excelente trabajo bajo la dirección del investigador principal @fsanchezquinto.bsky.social.

Tomorrow at Evolution 2025 I would be presenting my poster about Mitonuclear incompatibilities between two swordtails species! This is a work I been working on for my bachelor thesis project tutored by @mollyschumer.bsky.social Come to Poster A4 to learn more about it!

Especialmente feliz porque tuve la oportunidad de acompañar a miembros de mi lab a hacer trabajo de campo en mi país. Estoy cada vez más enamorada de las poxtas 🐟🧡

@hybridzones.bsky.social, @nemovrobles.bsky.social and @majorodriguezb.bsky.social scoured the literature to find the examples in Table 1. Is your favorite incompatibility gene missing? Please let us know so we can update the table and make a complete resource! Other feedback on the paper welcome

Thrilled to share my 1st PhD's 1st publication at @liigh-unam.bsky.social. Anecdotally it is also my 1st paper as corresponding author from my group / the "Paloegenomics and Evolutionary Biology". shorturl.at/VumOq Let us know what you think about it.

I’m disappointed by @cziscience.bsky.social’s decision to discontinue the Science Diversity Leadership Award chanzuckerberg.com/rfa/science-... no longer exists. But we exist & science needs us❤️‍🔥 👀 previous info at web.archive.org/web/20250130... I’m among those who had written a Letter of Intent

Many of us scientists in the Global South have been sciencing forever with limited resources, higher costs for infrastructure and reagents/consumables, high bureaucratic burden, no overheads, and still contributed to the generation of knowledge. We’ve developed adaptive strategies.

I’m so happy to have contributed to this project!!!🙈🥳 Thank you @mollyschumer.bsky.social , @nemovrobles.bsky.social and @ben-moran.bsky.social for the opportunity 🫶🏽🧡

Nim worked closed with @ben-moran.bsky.social and @majorodriguezb.bsky.social on this project. Ben's past work found evidence for two lethal hybrid incompatibilities caused by dysfunctional interactions between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in sister species X. birchmanni & X. malinche.

We have something special for you while you wait for the second season! Wanna know more about what goes into building productive and welcoming research environments? Join us in this LIVE episode with the founding members of @liigh-unam.bsky.social ! pod.link/1715048894

ASN Asilomar Conference has been great so far!! There’s been a lot of fun science and activities 🫶🏽🧬❣️ Fortunately, I also presented my poster about mitonuclear incompatibilities effect in size in swordtail hybrids 😍 Always thankful for the good mentoring, and support from my PI and lab group 🐠

Today I was at a book talk for a biodiversity conservation book. I was thrilled to notice people nowadays are conscious that being in an conservation path means being really political and growing communities that positively support each other 💙. También un escritor era mexicano y dieron conchas 😋 ❣️
