Monica Bettencourt-Dias
@IGCcentrioles
Scientist & communicator. My motto “Science from all for all”. @IGCiencia, @FCGulbenkian, @CCR_lab. Views are my own.
Today, I reflect on the legacy of @IGCiencia over the last 60 years and what it has meant for research and the scientific community in Portugal and beyond. IGC was never just a place—it was a pioneering model. #IGCLegacyLivesOn 1/5
🌍 📣 The registration deadline for the @EMBOevents "Integrating Cell and Planetary Scales to Address Climate Resilience" has been extended to 1st Feb! Don’t miss this chance to join the conversation shaping our planet’s future. RT. meetings.embo.org/event/25-clima… #ClimateResilience
E já tive resposta da deputada Joana Mortágua, do BE. Fez-me chegar um quadro de propostas sobre o tema e o seu desfecho.
E resposta da deputada Eva Brás Pinho, do PSD.
It is great news to know that Mónica Bettencourt-Dias (@IGCcentrioles) will lead the @CRGenomica, taking over from Luis Serrano. The @_BIST scientific community and the @iCERCA centers as a whole are once again strengthened. Bem-vinda/benvinguda, Mónica! bist.eu/monica-bettenc…
Happy to be the next @CRGenomica director. The CRG always stood out to me for its excellence in decoding life’s principles & its collaborative, open and innovative way of doing science. Thrilled to follow L Serrano footsteps & join its amazing community! crg.eu/en/news/monica…

What an interesting group of scientists and thinkers at #EMBOcells4planetaryhealth assembled by @IGCcentrioles Monica Bettencourt-Dias to discuss the potential of molecular and cell biology to adress planetary health challenges. I am learning a lot!
First day #EMBOcells4planetaryhealth #EMBOclimateresilience - great start by @JeremyFarrar @WHO and Pam Silver @wyssinstitute. Some words about the meeting by @Dey_Gautam and @GladfelterLab. Thank you so much Jeremy for the inspiring talk!! youtu.be/KFRFSPHdjFM?si… via @YouTube
🌍🔬 📣 Please spread the word! How can cell biology shape a more resilient planet? Virtual registration still open for @EMBO Workshop - Cells 4 Climate Resilience meetings.embo.org/event/25-clima… 🗓️ Deadline: April 11 🎥 Watch the teaser youtu.be/8eMJ91udHDs
Important to be part of a project that promotes many of the values I defend: collaboration, diversity-gender equality in science and democratisation of science 👏. So important at this moment! Congratulations @MednightEu @WomenRectors @Mariecurie_alum @EU_Commission !!
The @MednightEu Gala just took place at Uni Foundation, Brussels — a great celebration of Mediterranean science and collaboration! Sharing a quick snapshot — more to come! #MEDNIGHT #ScienceGala #MediterraneanResearchers #Brussels
Replying with a virtual assistant that cannot help is not helpful at this stage.
Hi @British_Airways - I was supposed to be flying San Diego- London in BA272, which is now delayed to tomorrow. We were left not knowing what was happening, no chance of rebooking flights for those of us that are going further than London, and still waiting for hotels. Terrible!
