Tom Van Dooren and I are organising a symposium on "Advances in theoretical evo-devo" at the next Euro Evo Devo meeting in Glasgow. Invited speakers: @n-martin.bsky.social, Nayely Vélez-Cruz, Thomas Hansen & Günter Wagner. Consider submitting an abstract, now open! www.evodevoconference26.com
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🔭🧪💻
Thanks to Manuela and Larissa for sharing their perspectives!

Congratulations to the graduates and thank you for the invitation!
Excited with two new preprints on evolution of molecular structure, in RNA (doi.org/10.1101/2025..., @n-martin.bsky.social) and proteins (doi.org/10.1101/2025...). Both RNA and protein structures are often conserved across evolution, but the underlying reasons are very different.

#festamajordegracia #ESEB2025 satelite outreach activities by @lcatmon.bsky.social AUGUST 20th, #BCNevolutionDay
#festamajordegràcia is concluded for @lcatmon.bsky.social it's been 1 more bucket list ✅️ to bring #evolution to one of the most important festivities of #Barcelona
Thanks #44Perill, @ajuntamentbcn.bsky.social #eseb2025 @sesbe-org.bsky.social and for the support and trust! Activities Summary 👇
🔬Yesterday at Festa Major de Gràcia, Nora Martin explained how maths and simulations help us understand biology through the lens of high-dimensional fitness landscapes.
😌We are very happy to see our research explained in this setting!
🎁Making science accessible to everyone is key.
In a session at 17h on Wed 20th, Nora Martin will discuss The complexity of adaptive landscapes at the Festa Major de Gràcia. You are welcome to attend!

Due to the stochasticity of biological processes, many realistic genotype-phenotype maps are non-deterministic (ND). ND maps from distinct computational models share features at a coarse-grained level. These shared features can be reproduced with a simple model: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Masters' project available: mmres.bist.eu/research-pro... Please get in touch if you are interested 🧬💻
On Thursday, Jacobo Aguirre (CSIC-INTA) will be the next speaker at the Seminar Series!
