What happens when people learn that humans are not standalone organisms, but walking ecosystems? Our new paper explored whether learning about the #holobiont concept – humans are symbiotic assemblages of a host & trillions of microbes – influences nature connectedness. 1/

Just stopping by to drop a new commentary with @YangOu363 in @ScienceMagazine recounting the history of stabilization wedges and featuring the modern updates to the wedges by Johnson and @iain_staffell. my commentary: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Wedge 2026: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I think this paper will become a game-changer for studying the microbiome. Matthew Schmitt and I found that a simple neural network, when trained on paired sequencing and functional data, can infer functional group structure directly from data. Preprint -> biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

🚨 Must Read. La biología moderna sigue diciendo que los seres vivos son “máquinas complejas”. Un filósofo de la biología lo desmontó en 2013 con un argumento demoledor: Los organismos NO son máquinas. Tienen propósito interno (vivir su vida). Sus partes dependen del todo. Su estructura cambia constantemente para seguir vivos. La metáfora máquina es útil para estudiar piezas… pero como teoría general de la vida es falsa y tóxica. 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The 3 hardest things to learn as a scientist: 1. Trust the data.. especially when it’s not what you expected, 2. Trust the data.. allowing it to change your direction, 3. Trust the data.. but not too much: test with new data at every turn.

Una sociedad que recorta en educación no se ahorra dinero: se condena a vivir con menos ciencia, menos pensamiento crítico y menos justicia social.

La universidad no nació para producir competencias inmediatas, ni para la empleabilidad. Nació como gimnasio del pensamiento, laboratorio de ciudadanía. La universidad no está en crisis. Lo que está en crisis es la idea de que su misión es formar expertos híper-especializados para certezas que ya no existen. Es fundamental volver al origen: enseñar a pensar, a comprender y a dialogar. Formar para la incertidumbre. En la era de la IA, el trivium -gramática, lógica y retórica- vuelve a ser central. Los algoritmos ejecutan tareas, las personas deben entender, juzgar y dar sentido. Mi colaboración en @Milenio 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 milenio.com/opinion/carlos…
