In a new study just published, I teamed up with some Brazilian colleagues to explore how the different features of garden flowers help sustain #pollinators throughout the year in a subtropical urban garden.

Hace dos meses denunciábamos la violencia burocrática y pedíamos un CV unificado:
bsky.app/profile/fjip...

Pero la violencia burocrática también es papeles y más papeles para justificaciones mínimas. Como dice @fpalazon.bsky.social, ¡queremos tiempo para hacer ciencia!
Varias rondas de papeles, firmas y justificaciones para un marcador/cortador de vidrio de menos de 50 euros. Y así todo. De hecho esta es de las fáciles... 😩 Que lo he justificado POCO... ¿Y el tiempo para hacer #ciencia cuando es? #burrocracia
