Parasites and parasitoids are large drivers of evolutionary change. We hear from Peter Hambäck (Stockholm University @deepsthlmuni.bsky.social) about his work on how beetle larvae combat a wasp that wants to lay its eggs inside them!

A few weeks ago, we gathered @royalsociety.org for a truly inspiring autumn meeting on Ancient Genomes and an outstanding public talk by Svante Pääbo @crick.ac.uk!
Thanks to everyone who joined and an special appreciation to @pontus-skoglund.bsky.social and @janetk.bsky.social for organising!

Last week we had a great meeting on "Ancient genomes: perspectives on human biology and medicine" at the @royalsociety.org and the @crick.ac.uk.
It was an amazing set of talks and posters. Thanks to the @gensocuk.bsky.social, co-host @janetk.bsky.social and all participants for a great day!

final week to apply for @sangerinstitute.bsky.social PhD programme (due Nov 27th) -- free to apply, open to anyone anywhere, and a superb training opportunity for students interested in genomic approaches applied to biodiversity, pathogens, vectors, and of course us pesky humans.
