If there were ways to quantify the impact of making negative results (or “incomplete stories”) available, I believe we’d be amazed at how much more efficient scientific research could become!
Here's our new "micropublication" - it's a cool format for publishing isolated results (not every study has to be a "full story")-"Reduced insulin/IGF-1 signaling and loss of pals-22 promote repetitive DNA silencing in C. elegans "https://micropublication.org/journals/biology/micropub-biology-001747

it appears your low-hanging-fruit phd project wasn't so risk free after all, mr. bond

Yep… pretty much it! Backpacking well past socially acceptable deadline for financial and professional stability.

Exciting news: our Board of Trustees has appointed @monicabettencourt.bsky.social as the CRG's new Director. Prof Bettencourt-Dias is expected to take up the post in 2026, replacing Dr. Luis Serrano, who will continue to maintain a research group at the institute.

Symposium: ecDNA
Andreas Ventura showed that normal primary cells can propagate ecDNAs, and that ecDNAs can promote transformation and tumorigenesis in vivo, using elegant in vitro and in vivo models of ecDNA. Fantastic work! #EACR2025
