👋 I am now also here! Seeing so many people here that it looks like Woods Hole @mblscience.bsky.social in the summer! Nice vibe. Hope we can eventually also bring many non-scientists to this forum and share science/opinions outside of our box.

As an undergraduate who loved physical chemistry and was just starting biology, I thought the Meselson-Stahl experiment was the coolest thing ever. It was so simple in its application of physical theory and experiment to prove a biological truth that it was perfect. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/s...

Happy to be the next (and 1st female) @crg.eu director. The CRG always stood out to me, for its excellence in understanding life's principles, with implications for health and biodiversity, & its collaborative, open and innovative way of doing science. Thrilled to join its amazing community in 2026!
