Thrilled (and proud!) to see our paper published in @microbiotech.bsky.social
I thank my co-authors for their contribution. I also thank my friend Solimán López with whom I discovered the true potential of Art as a way to contribute to the microbiology literacy of our fellow citizens.

Serán cuatro charlas de divulgación, a cargo de expertos internacionales, en un formato ameno y breve, dirigidas principalmente - aunque no exclusivamente - a jóvenes iberoamericanos interesados en conocer más sobre un tema fascinante. Acompáñanos!
Y, por favor: corre la voz!

Para conmemorar el Día Mundial de los Glaciares, nos complace invitarlos al Webinar Híbrido
"Glaciares: revelando el tesoro microbiano oculto en el hielo".
Será el 21 de marzo, de 10 am a 12 m (horario Ecuador, GMT - 5).Conéctate a través de este enlace  cedia.zoom.us/j/82917298166

Wonderful story! Great effort in the right direction (open science). Thank you Nick and Mark!

The Story of Free Use GFP (fuGFP) by Nick Coleman and Mark Sommerville — It is perhaps ironic that for a story about open-source science, the tale of Free Use GFP (fuGFP) begins with a commercial collaboration. The Coleman lab was con...

Wonderful story! Great effort made by Nick Coleman and Mark Sommerville. An example to follow!

Taking Stock of the Known and Unknown Microbial Space - Biosciences Area Using publicly available genome sequence data generated over the past three decades, JGI researchers assess the known fraction of microbial diversity.

In Science Advances: "We took a deep dive into over 1.8 million bacterial and archaeal genomes to see how much of their diversity we’ve actually captured. Turns out that despite all the genomes we’ve sequenced, we’ve only scratched the surface." -Dongying Wu

Important paper on current funding models
“The substantial cost of grant writing and peer review involves significant opportunity costs, not only financial resources but also the time and effort of researchers, which could otherwise contribute to advancing science or enhancing its social impact”

Una treintena de científicos alertan en 'Science' sobre los peligros de sintetizar ‘bacterias espejo’ Más de treinta científicos y científicas de diferentes especialidades entre los que se encuentra Craig Venter –pionero en la creación de vida sintética artificial– han escrito un artículo en la revist...
