Trieste is a beautiful coastal city in northern Italy at the crossroads of cultures 🇮🇹🇸🇮🇭🇷🇦🇹 with a very high quality of life. Info about the city of Trieste discover-trieste.it intrieste.com 2/5
Recorded talks are here youtube.com/playlist?list=…
It was fun to listen to great science, discuss with top scientists, see old friends (and also not bad to eat great food, and enjoy great sights) @polstnet @ictpnews @jacrickets

Had a great time discussing eco-evo models with @ShoeStrapped and @jacrickets at @ictpnews - if you ever get the chance to visit, know you'll eat good.
It was a pleasure hosting @stephen_martis here in the Quantitative Life Sciences section at ICTP! No picture of his excellent talk, but we remembered to take a few of our post-seminar osmiza visit (country home serving farm made wine, meat, and cheese)
The Biology Across Scales #Symposium 2024 is now over! Thanks to all the speakers, participants, sponsors, @IGCiencia for the support and making this event a great success! 🥳
Onofrio Mazzarisi, a researcher at ICTP & @OGS_IT, is among the authors of a new international study published in @ScienceMagazine showing that diversity promotes the stability of ecosystems. ictp.it/news/2024/3/bi… #biodiversity #populationdynamics

Deciphering the gene-organism-environment triad is key to understanding microbiomes. But to go beyond who's there, we need to identify relevant coarse-grained physiological traits from (meta)genomes. Fill in forms.gle/CaXN8fNNdJkCT5… to show interest in a KITP program about this!

Glad to have this work out in eLife! The message remains the same, but with added comparisons to UNTB predictions. Thanks to the reviewers for helpful comments. Feel free to reach out with qs/comments! elifesciences.org/articles/89650
I'm happy to share some recent work from @jacrickets and myself! Here we worked to determine how coarse-graining microbial communities using phylogenetic and taxonomic information alters macroecological patterns within and between scales 1/13 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
...and if you are in Italy 🇮🇹 for this great workshop, consider staying a week more and come to Trieste to attend the meeting of the Physics of Living Systems Student Research Network pols_italy.unimi.it/pols2024/ @SPCGgroup (lot to see on the road from L'Aquila to Trieste ⛰️🌊🍝🏰🖼️)
📢📢 Registrations open!! Happy to announce SMEEB 2024 happening in the beautiful hilly setting of L'Aquila, Italy from May 28th to 31st, 2024 ⛰️🇮🇹 Apply for this wondrous intersection of the theory, experiment and data in microbial ecology, evolution and systems biology!
