This was so much fun - what a great community of smart, passionate and friendly scientists. And I totally loved Sevilla.
Outstanding talks last Friday on #CABDseminars with @dvalenzano.bsky.social and @jlsardinalab.bsky.social! Excellent science and amazing networking experience with the CABD community. Juan Tena and @obog.bsky.social hosted each of the speakers, respectively.
Thanks for coming Darío & José Luis!

Exciting news: DFG funds FOR5872 – Chaperone-mediated regulation of amyloids in condensates!
Led by Prof. Janine Kirstein (FLI), researchers from Germany and Israel will explore how chaperones counteract disease-causing protein misfolding.
Good luck to the team!

Sad to learn we lost Keith Blackwell, an unsung hero of the aging field. Keith showed rapamycin extends C. elegans lifespan, that mTORC2 has diet-dependent effects on aging, and linked together skn1 TOR splicing and aging.
