We got great news! @ishpssb2025.bsky.social gave us funding to support early career travel to our event in October! Deadline for abstract submission is extended until Aug 18. Don't miss this chance! #phibio #hps #microbiome #philsci 🦠

Merci! Without you guys, I wouldn't be where I am today. I hope to keep flying the flag high!

#ISHPSSB is over. I presented my preliminary work on hype, distortion and reproducibility in #microbiome science. This work would never have been possible without my collaboration with scientists from various labs and my participation in the @nanobubbles.bsky.social project on science correction.

Today it's my turn!

honored to join this @historyofscience.bsky.social roundtable @kathrynolesko.bsky.social's invitation. my contribution "Make Silicon Valley Boring Again!" argues that today's broligarchs aren't just aberrant relative to you & me, but even relative to the history of Silicon Valley...

The @nanobubbles.bsky.social podcast on science correction and its problems.

Listen now!

I am delighted to see this paper, written with Ingrid Lamminpää e Amedeo Amedei, published in the European Journal of Immunology. This is also provocative, with the specific aim of sparking debate since many aspects need to be further explored and clarified.
