Several people noticing high scoring projects that didn’t get funded in the latest MSCA round with a success rate below 10%. But not questioning the system…
Seems like we’re well and truly hitting the Szilard point where the total cost of competition exceeds the money available.

The complete table for thresholds is here circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/9a4...
I'm not funded :')

@julietteluiselli.bsky.social et al. introduce a mathematical model of genome size evolution, showing that the noncoding fraction of the genome is shaped by biases in mutational neutrality, and robustness selection arising from structural mutations

Hi everyone! We are the Evolutionary Modelling Group!
We are interested in many topics, from the evolution of microbial mutational robustness to the evolution of language and culture in humans. We rely on a variety of methods, both computational (evolutionary simulations) and mathematical.

Very happy to have had the opportunity to present my work at the CMSB2025 conference !
My collaboration with Manuel Lafond is published in the proceedings if you want to have a look 😊

I just assumed we were meant to ignore the male and female signs in these specific bathrooms 🫣

Poster P02.264 at ESEB 2022 entitled "Increasing mutation rates and population sizes both lead to reduced genomes, but not in the same way"
I'm very happy to present a poster tonight at #ESEB2025 discussing how mutation rates and population sizes impact the evolution of genome size and structure !
