Developmental genetics, heart, CHD, cardiomyopathies. At CNIC (Madrid).
Well, well! While some of us were struggling with the (scientific) hangover from granada, Carlos Relaño Rupérez was showing (off) his bits and bytes and lines of code in the city with the best tap water in the world, beautiful as well, historic as well: Madrid.

Look how cool, Felix Trogisch and Joerg Heineke highlight our decorin paper academic.oup.com/cardiovascre... in their last editorial in Cardiovascular Research academic.oup.com/cardiovascre.... I love the title 💃🏻💃🏻

Tamara González Costa also took the central stage, but in the Alhambra (damn, Carlos V). Awesome guided visit to the beautiful andalusi fortress/palace/medina. Lots of flowers, scientists and birds, such as the eurasian blackcap. Now back to the meeting!

Today we are having the second ICDAR day, with a first session including the great Maria Teresa Soto Navarrete and her Actc1 model of HCM. She sang her presentation as beautifully as robins do in october dawns in Madrid.

My first post in Bluesky: Mesodermal lineage tracing (green) in embryonic mouse hearts. Tg(Mef2c-AHF-Cre) and Mesp1-cre lines were used above and below, respectively, to trace mesodermal cells (green) at E9.5 (left) and E14.5 (right) stages. #science #heart #development #artwork #biology

Now it is turn for two of our PhD candidates, Alba Pau Navalón and Violeta Sebastián Serrano, to defend their work during the first poster session. Come around posters 1 and 3, if you happen to be in Granada.

Just arrived to Granada to enjoy ICDAR conference. Anxious to enjoy this beautiful city with this beautiful company and the beatiful science this meeting always brings.

Great first day of the #Leducq Foundation's PlacHeart.org meeting, this time hosted at #CNIC. Pictures coming soon, but since we had long travellers, we'll share some Sandhill cranes to honor their rare trip to Europe.

On Friday we held a dissemination activity as part of the European Researchers' Night. We showed to a curious and participative audience why what we do is important and how we do it (and they could take a souvenir with them!). We will repeat the show in November for the Science Week, so stay tuned!

This week we had @gluxan.bsky.social and @leahvanicek.bsky.social from @instcardregffm.bsky.social . They flew from Frankfurt am Main to Madrid as red kites do around this time each year, and brought great science under their wings! Looking forward to learning about how your projects develop!

By the way... Last week we sent an emissary (José Luis) to @weinsteinconf.bsky.social at Milwaukee. He took good notes and briefed us about the great talks and posters presented there.

Who said science is not fun? Yesterday we went to an amazing science outreach event: @pintofscience.es
Events like these make science accessible and spark curiosity in our community. Let’s keep the communication going! #SciComm #ScienceIsFun #PintOfScience
