Thank you to EMBO, FEBS, and the many brilliant scientists I’ve had the fortune to work with over the years. Very humbled and honoured.

Thank you Daniel. I am also grateful to all the amazing speakers who made this symposium so special and hopefully impactful, and of course to Kathleen and Tracy for their commitment to help prevent other erroneous accusations.

“Science uncovered the truth of why my children died, and set me free.”

Kathleen Folbigg spoke at the Crick this week, joined by the team of scientists and lawyers who used advances in genomic science to help exonerate her after serving twenty years in jail, falsely accused of killing her children.

Falsely Accused | Justice by Genomics Jailed for killing her children, freed by advances in genomics - Kathleen Folbigg joins experts to explore what can be learnt from her case.

The US is withdrawing from the Paris agreement and from the WHO, responsible for the eradication small pox, near eradication of polio and the Ebola vaccine amongst many other. This is a dark day for humanity. Sadly, it will be our children and the next generations that will suffer the consequences.

My book of short stories GENES A LA CARTA, expands the literary and film tradition of an extreme present or a near future with a fracture between super humans and normal Sapiens. How does a first generation of gene edited humans live with the other less privileged humans?

Muere a los 77 años Joan Guinovart, fundador y exdirector del Institut de Recerca Biomèdica (IRB) El científico y catedrático, Creu de Sant Jordi en 2014, fue una figura clave en el ámbito de la bioquímica

Mourning in Spanish science for the death of a great scientist, scientific manager, promoter of Spanish science @sebbm.bsky.social @irbbarcelona.org & @COSCE, and, above all, a great person who encouraged many to continue fighting for a better world: Joan Guinovart

High-resolution genomic history of early medieval Europe - Nature Twigstats, a method for ancestry reconstruction, provides high-resolution genetic histories and movement patterns of people living in Europe during the first millennium ce.

Analysing genetic ancestry using time-stratified approach offers a higher-resolution lens for genetic history. Skoglund et al use it to uncover a new, high-resolution genomic history of early medieval Europe

Ancient DNA unlocks new understanding of migrations in the first millennium AD Waves of human migration across Europe during the first millennium AD have been revealed using a more precise method of analysing ancestry with ancient DNA, in research led by the Francis Crick Instit...

Researchers from the Crick, @uclofficial.bsky.social and @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social used a new way of analysing ancient DNA to better understand European migrations in 1-1,000 AD

Findings were led by Leo Speidel with senior author @pontus-skoglund.bsky.social
