Relevant to our session at #ECCB2026 www.fondationbiodiversite.fr/en/breaking-... - we are getting better and better at understanding what is happening with #biodiversity and #climate, but this knowledge alone is not enough to halt or reverse the trend.

Throwback to #ECCB2026 🇨🇭
Meet the VIB.AI + VIB Data Core delegation in Geneva: two talks, lots of posters, plenty of new ideas, and great conversations across the computational biology community.
Great to see so much of our science represented at ECCB!

As Giovanni Nisato (Pistoia Alliance) framed it, the result is a "Dream Team" where each approach handles a specific layer. Next step: a joint guidance paper for the research community on implementing FAIR in practice.

So inspired by #ECCB2026! Great talks, amazing people, and a real effort to bridge science with the public. It was a privilege to present my project on flagellome profiling, which takes our FlaPro pipeline :)

Registration isn't just a desk at the entrance. It's an attendee's first experience of an event.

At #ECCB2026, our team supported around 1,800 participants, including 1,300 check-ins in just two hours on the first morning.

Last week I attended the #ECCB2026 in Geneva! It was my first time attending a big scale conference and, even though it felt overwhelming at times, I really appreciate the opportunity to be able to show my work in such a unique scenario.

Digital sovereignty: the capability to develop and adapt the technology we need
Digital sovereignty is not a withdrawal, but the ability to act sovereignly in an interdependent world.

We do this by turning local genealogical paths into tokens & learning dense embeddings, similar to language embeddings, to visualize, cluster & query.

Special congrats to first author David Bonet, who presented ARGformer yesterday in Geneva at #ECCB2026 (below).
