Congratulations to @paucarazo.bsky.social and the other organizers of the #sesbe2026 meeting of the @sesbe-org.bsky.social . It has been a wonderful conference with nice talks, posters and networking, I the wonderful city of Valencia, my home town.
Excited to share the latest from @fungialab.bsky.social at @sesbe-org.bsky.social!🧬 We’re pushing the boundaries of yeast evolution and species delimitation. Understanding where one lineage ends and another begins is the key to unlocking fungal biodiversity. 🍄✨
#Fungi #Evolution
Less than a week to go until the @sesbe-org.bsky.social Congress 2026! 🎉 Really excited to share my latest work 🔬🧬 Stay tuned if you’re into nanopore sequencing, genome evolution, and mitochondria ⚡🧫
It has been a pleasure to present my latest work at @sesbe-org.bsky.social meeting. Hope to see it published soon ✊🏻🤞🏻
Now Edu Ocaña Pallarès, previous postdoc in the group, now PI at UOC presenting the timetree of fungi, calibrated with fossils and HGT. Nice to see #fungi at the paleobiology session in #sesbe2026
🚀 David Peris Navarro, investigador del IATA-CSIC, fundador de FunGIALab, Embajador de RAICEX y miembro voluntario de la comision ECUSA_Retorno, representará a RAICEX y ECUSA en dos iniciativas internacionales de gran relevancia.
Merry Christmas! May the new year brings you new projects and colleagues!
