The quest for the #Magnificent8 continues! This time, our team journeyed to the stunning Lago de Sanabria in search of two elusive #Magnificent8 lineages, known to our project as Freship1 and Freship2. Huge kudos to our dedicated scientists Marina, Alicia, and Rubén who led the…
If you missed the deadline and couldn't register or send an abstract, but still want to attend online this nice workshop, you still have time! Until September 5th. Don't miss this opportunity. @IBE_Barcelona @EMBO @multicellgenome @the_prbb meetings.embo.org/event/25-multi…
Yesterday Alkis successfully defended his master thesis on #ichthyosporeans! Good job! @multicellgenome @IBE_Barcelona #multicellularity
Tomorrow last day to register to the #multicellularity conference. You do not need to present, you can just join us to enjoy what will be discussed. Any questions, do not hesitate to email or DM us! #protists

Congrats Javi!! @fonamental 🎉🎉🎉
It is an honor to receive the @protistologists Hutner Award to a researcher within 15 years of his PhD who has made outstanding contributions in protistology 😊 I would like to thank my mentors (@RMassanaM, @multicellgenome, Patrick Keeling) and my past and present students 🙏
And also proud of Alba, who has also done a great job in her presentation about genome annotation. Well done! #COMFUTURO #mentoring @FGCSIC @IBE_Barcelona @multicellgenome
Proud of Diego, who this morning presented for the first time in a conference and nailed it! He was presenting the results of past of our #REGULOMICS project. @FGCSIC #JBE25 #COMFUTURO #mentoring @IBE_Barcelona @multicellgenome
That's a wrap on a brilliant #multicellularity symposium at #icop25 organized by Elena, Rubén & Guifré ! 👏 Cool to have so many familiar faces and hearing amazing talks from Núria, @GonzolinBS, Michelle & Tristan, So much great #protist #multicellularity science! 🔬🧬


Are scientists "absolutely insatiable" like lovers in 1950s films? 🎬 After reading the new Bostrychia moritziana genome paper by Petroll et al., we tend to believe so! We, with @DLopez_Escardo, were thrilled to write a commentary in @CurrentBiology on this work. The authors…

Great lab, amazing research and super nice PI. #academiajob

Ever wondered if earthworms are venomous? Check out our new paper to see how deep venom goes in the animal kingdom! With @EivindUndheim and @nickcasewell sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Four friends, one table with views, and endless conversations. From family and classes to XAN, platyhelminthes, and the good old days at @GeneticsUB @MRiutortUB lab! nothing was off the menu. Grateful for nights like this. Grateful for friends like these! @MartonaAlvarez…

Did changes in cosmic radiation have any effect in the origin of animals? Does a reduction in cosmic radiation affect extant #ichthyosporeans? David & Elena presenting our experimental evolution project to @labsubcanfranc #animalorigins #protists @IBE_Barcelona @the_prbb…


Can the structure of knowledge evolve like life itself? In our new MBE paper, we show that the Gene Ontology evolves through mechanisms shared with cultural and technological systems—reuse, modularity, and curator-driven restructuring. Here’s what we found: 🧵
🦠La maravillosa red microscópica que sostiene la vida en los océanos y explica el origen de los animales 🌊En la superficie puede haber más de 100.000 especies de protistas, cuyos linajes están por ubicar en el árbol de la vida Reportaje de @AnaloCL 👇 tiny.cc/3rgm001
Nice text where @AnaloCL presents our little organisms, celebrating the ocean day! Thanks for this amazing piece. #COMFUTURO @FGCSIC @multicellgenome @beaplab_ibe @delCampoLab @CSICdivulga
¿Conocéis a los protistas? Compartimos ancestro con estos microorganismos que están en la base de las redes tróficas del océano y, por tanto, de sus ecosistemas. Por eso es tan importante estudiarlos como hace el @IBE_Barcelona en los labs de @multicellgenome o @fonamental 👇
📣We're hiring!📣 At #IBE we are seeking a Technician for the International Office, part of our Project/Grants Management Unit. 📆 2-year temporary contract ⏳ Deadline: 18 of June Apply here and #JoinOurTeam 👉ibe.upf-csic.es/work-with-us/j…
What a nice lab retreat! And just 30 mins from the lab, in the center of Barcelona at @Artchimboldi! #animalorigins @IBE_Barcelona
Is "everything everywhere" for marine microbes? 🦠🧬Our new study says no! We found #protists 🔬 show stronger and more recent genetic divisions across oceans than animals and plants 🐠🌱. Check out our preprint on @bioRxiv! 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Thrilled to reconnect with friends & meet researchers I’ve only read about at #SEBC2025! 📢 I’ll be speaking on the role of cells in the unicellular-to-multicellular transition. Registration is open! 🔬 Join us: sebc2025.org #CellBiology #Science"
