Para todos os brasileiros que, como eu, estejam planejando a saída de #Portugal para o #Brasil - o governo editou um GUIA DE RETORNO. Convém ler. www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/as...
Apresentação
No período recente, nota-se um movimento de retorno de migrantes brasileiros ao território nacional. Por um lado, esse fluxo pode ser explicado pelo acirramento da retórica e das políticas anti-imigração, verificado em alguns países que tradicionalmente recebem os migrantes. Por outro, a dinamização do mercado de trabalho no Brasil constitui forte fator de estímulo ao regresso voluntário.

How do people around the world encounter science, and what shapes those encounters?
Our new global study found that social media now carries much of the world’s science content, but local culture, infrastructure, and curiosity still determine how people engage. #ScienceSky #scicomm

How the World Talks About Science
Our new international study finds that science communication looks very different depending on culture, media systems, and access to technology.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

More than five years ago, Parisians and the world watched in horror as a devastating fire tore through the centuries-old Notre Dame cathedral.
As the cathedral reopens, here’s a look at what survived, what was restored and what’s new.

As the cathedral reopens, take our interactive graphics tour of the interior and exterior to see what was saved, what was rebuilt and what’s new.
