Had a blast at the #EMBOEvoEco 2026. Quality of science was up to 11! #SpinalTap @embo.org @events.embl.org

'Social science day' yesterday at #EMBOEvoEco 🤓
First we held the poster session 1 where participants exchanged their latest findings and ideas 📝

After dinner we held the science pub quiz which proved that our audience is smart, funny, and creative 🏆

For those at #EMBOEvoEco listening to Julia Vorholt describe the use of FluidFM to transfer #mitochondria between host cells, here's her 2022 @plosbiology.org paper that presents those findings: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

We are thrilled that #EMBOEvoEco is finally starting 🤩

Participants, speakers, and organisers are just arriving and are looking forward to the keynote lecture by Julia Vorholt.

Inna Boesselmann is happy to welcoming everyone 🙌

Yes, I'm in beautiful (and currently sunny) Heidelberg for #EMBOEvoEco; just a few hours before the first session. Do feel free to stop me for a chat about your work, @plosbiology.org, @plos.org or scientific publishing in general!

If you're in Heidelberg or online, attending #EMBOEvoEco, do have a chat with @plosbiology.org editor @roliroberts.bsky.social! @events.embl.org

Let's talk about enhancer evolution at my poster (no. 61), discuss the automated yeast evolution we're doing in @thee-bank-lab.bsky.social (video below), or chat about hosting opportunities for the ERC StG next cycle ;) #EMBOEvoEco

@cbank.bsky.social and @timothyfuqua.bsky.social will be attending #EMBOEvoEco this week. Tim is giving a flash talk for his poster (no. 61) on Wed at 13:50 about using AI models to predict enhancer evolution, and Claudia is presenting on Wed about eco-evo fitness landscapes at 16:20. Come say hi!

Just a few days away from #EMBOEvoEco, can’t wait!
