David Gómez-Blanco, PhD

Tomorrow (28th April) at 13:00, I will defend my PhD thesis "Telomeres in Ecology and Evolution: connections between telomere length, infections and life-history trade-offs" Opponent: Prof Mats Olsson (Gothenburg Univ.) Live streaming: lu-se.zoom.us/j/63061967327 You are welcome😃

New paper! We elaborate on 2 ecological hypotheses to explain telomere elongation, discuss their support and ways to test them. Telomere elongation may reflect strategies for optimizing life history and fitness! @toblermichi_SE #DennisHasselquist onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

@toblermichi_SE Thanks a lot Michi 💪🏼💪🏼

@carles_vila_ebd Thanks Carles! 💪🏼

Congratulations, David

Coming from Sweeden, yesterday I had the great pleasure of receiving a copy of this interesting thesis of a great researcher and friend! Thank you for such a great surprise and congrats @GomezBlancoD! 🐦🧬🤩

@DrKimor @toblermichi_SE @mluerig Thanks so much!! Soon I will spread the books around.

@toblermichi_SE @mluerig @GomezBlancoD Brilliant!! Congratulations David!! 😎💪🏻 looking forward to read it!

@kiara_bettega @toblermichi_SE Gracias Kiara! Espero que todo vaya bien 🙂

@toblermichi_SE @GomezBlancoD Congrats David! Well done!

La investigadora predoctoral @isabel_salado ha sido una de las beneficiarias de los contratos de @FordFund y @ApadrinaCiencia para finalizar su tesis. En este vídeo, nos explica su proyecto sobre la genética evolutiva del lobo ibérico 🐺🧬 #wolfconsevol youtu.be/Zj83hM-mfxQ

@JuanCarlosIll18 @toblermichi_SE Thank you very much, Juan Carlos, it is important to remember the origins ;-)

@toblermichi_SE @GomezBlancoD Well done David!! Happy to see your progression in Science 🙂

@JuanCarlosIll18 @molecology Gracias Juan Carlos!!

@GomezBlancoD @molecology Sí señor!! Enhorabuena David!! Well done!! 🤓

Our article is finally out @molecology! Here we overview hypotheses related to telomeres and their associations with life-history and fitness, analysing how competing hypotheses can be clustered. Hopefully this help to identify new research opportunities❕ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Interesting review in @molecology about hypotheses around connections of telomere shortening to life-history trade-offs, disease and longevity in wild animal populations. I appreciate its carefully distinguishing correlation from causation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

I have experimentally confirmed, yet again, that it is perfectly possible to spend 5 hours straight working in R and achieve absolutely nothing
