Postdoc at the Amoyel Lab. So far, happy developmental biologist, but I have my days. Studying stem cells and tissue homeostasis in the fly testis. Science is also part of culture

Ojo a esto que va a traer cola. Como dice Terence Tao, y ¿ahora, qué? Si un rumor puede desplegar miles de agentes con millones de dólares por parte de una IA, ¿qué incentivo le queda a nadie para compartir ideas prometedoras antes de tenerlas cerradas? elpais.com/ciencia/2026...

Update: The academic flight from Twitter is now complete and appears permanent. April 2023, after the pandemic research surge, we recorded 2,234,307 posts sharing research on Twitter. As of April this year, "X" had 896,741 posts about research. That's a 60% drop in traffic.

Fantastic news for the lab! We've just been awarded a Wellcome Discovery award and will be recruiting at postdoc and research assistant level shortly. We're excited by this project that aims to understand how metabolism influences male germline development. Please forward to any interested people!
