SFI’s Santiago Elena has been elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology.
He joins 62 fellows in the 2026 class. His work explores how RNA viruses adapt to hosts and manipulate cellular resources. Since joining SFI in 2008, he has organized several working groups on virus evolution.
Congratulations to Santiago F. Elena on being elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology! This prestigious honor recognizes their outstanding contributions to advancing microbiology. Learn more about the 2026 Fellowship Class: asm.org/press-releas...

🎉microPublications EEB is looking for new editors!
-Editorial load is extremely light (but we work quickly)
-Awesome format and journal, serves the EEB community well IMO
-We cover all of EEB so we're looking for breath/generalists/complimentary expertise
-DM me if interested (or suggest someone)!
This is figure 1, which shows a map of the global burden of female breast cancer in 2022.
At present, 1 in 20 women globally are diagnosed with breast cancer, and a projected 1 in 70 may are likely to die from the disease in their lifetime, suggests research published in Nature Medicine. https://go.nature.com/4hPNwXD #Medsky 🧪
Students, faculty, and staff of the University of Pittsburgh- please note that March 7 is a university holiday. So if you're looking for some way to make your voice heard....

#ESTALMAT is a project of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences @raciencias.bsky.social for detection and encouragement of mathematical talent in 12-13 years old students. They visited our research institite to learn about #DNA 🧪💻🧬 #outreach @javierbuceta.bsky.social @pathogenomics.bsky.social
I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/
Middle school kids having extraordinary #math skills visited our research institute @i2sysbio.bsky.social to learn about how we use mathematics to understand #DNA 🧬🖥🧪
Ahora mismo está en marcha la 3ª manifestación pidiendo la dimisión de Carlos Mazón.
En las 2 anteriores acudieron 230.000 personas en total.
Pues el tío, con sus santos cojonazos, que no dimite, oye.
¡He llegado el día de la #loteriadenavidad 🎄! ¡Qué nervios! No por si me toca, sino porque a la una saldrá el nuevo episodio de #LaVacaEsférica 🐄, dedicado justamente a la #Loteria!
Enhorabuena si os toca, y si no, os esperamos para hacer más digerible la decepción 🤷🏽

Policy makers, journalists, and the public should consider what it means if the incoming head of NIH failed to design, execute, interpret, and communicate a public health study in a critical moment in the pandemic, and continued to double-down on the interpretation.
