Work by @RocioMozoM, @dreailla (also an undergrad in the lab at the time), and @fonamental at @IBE_Barcelona. Isolates are cryobanked, and 16S sequences are on NCBI, so come and use them 🙌. Paper 📄 doi.org/10.1007/s00248-026-0…

New paper from the lab, led by @RocioMozoM during her @CSIC JAE Intro undergraduate internship (her first paper 🙌). We cultured bacteria from four Mediterranean corals and built a cryobank of 84 isolates. It's now out in Microbial Ecology (open access). 🪸🦠 #Coral #Microbiome

A Alcanar Platja, l’escenari és molt greu: carrers inundats, vehicles atrapats i pluja intensa que no s'atura. Cal evitar desplaçaments, no anar a buscar el cotxe 🚘🚫 i pujar a pisos elevats si el carrer s’inunda. 📽️ @jcolome87 #Projecte4Estacions nitter.cf/jcolome87/status/19774…

Jane Goodall was one of a few people to earn a PhD without an undergraduate degree. It was thought that her lack of formal academic training would allow her to remain unbiased by traditional thought and study the chimps with an open mind. It worked. ❤️

El 25 de julio de 1936 un pelotón de fusilamiento falangista ejecutaba al pedagogo catalán Antoni Benaiges i Nogués en las montañas de La Pedraja, en Burgos. Nacido en Mont-roig del Camp, Tarragona, y afiliado en la UGT, ejercía de maestro en Bañuelos de Bureba, Burgos, donde fue detenido por los golpistas el 19 de julio, el mismo día en que quería llevar a sus alumnos a ver el mar por primera vez. ‘Y la fantasía de unos niños que suben y bajan la ingrata loma, disparose hacia Lejanía para hundirse en la vastitud líquida, misteriosa, sublime. También ellos, los niños, saben del mar sin haberlo visto nunca’ prólogo de ‘El mar. Visión de unos niños que no lo han visto nunca’, obra colectiva entre Benaiges y sus alumnos realizada durante el invierno de 1936, de donde surgió la promesa que nunca pudo cumplirse.
