Open science is a key principle of the Innovative Training Network (ITN) ChromDesign, which aims to advance our understanding of chromatin biology and epigenetic regulation. As part of this commitment to openness and transparency, the ChromDesign network has produced a collection of high-quality datasets that are freely available to the scientific community. These datasets represent […]

It doesn’t happen so often that one has the opportunity to share a wonderful conversation with top-notch people locally (even if it was online) to share all our thoughts with people from our local communities. I’ve been part of panels and conferences abroad, and I was thrilled to have this session in Barcelona finally. “Què […]

Go out with friends, grab a beer and take part in a Science SLAM – Scientists explain their research with short talks to a mixed crowd in a casual atmosphere like theatres or clubs in the evening. The ChromDesign fellows and I went out in Barcelona for a night of entertainment, culture, and of course, […]

As described in the Biosummit’s website, a yearly conference usually hosted at MIT in Boston by the Community Biotechnology Initiative at the MIT Media Lab, «A space for the global community of DIY biologists / community biologists / biohackers / biomakers and members of independent and community laboratories to convene, plan, build fellowship, and continue the […]

If you thought that biologists can only talk about zebrafish and mice, you are mistaken! Together with PhD students of our sister network EpiSystem, we followed an ethics course to talk about current ethics issues in biology and beyond. This course was led by Luca Marelli, adjunct professor of bioethics at the University of Milan […]

During a couple of days, 19th -21st February 2020, a challenge was posed to all ChromDesign researchers to leave the labs aside and embrace a new way to communicate science from a Transdisciplinary perspective. Be designers, tinkerers, and even artists to develop new skills to communicate science that will be handy for many years! For […]

Science Guerrilla. Science in a physical space, «from the lab to the street», is a workshop that took place in February 2020, in Barcelona (Spain) within the Transdisciplinary Science communication Training at Elisava organized for the ChromDesign project researchers. I, Carla Molins Pitarch, developed the session with Dr. Miquel Santasusana. During the first conversations with […]
