Finlandia se enfrenta al estancamiento económico, al aumento del desempleo y a unas finanzas públicas en crisis, pero aun así logró asegurarse el título de país más feliz del mundo. Su éxito se debe en gran medida a un generoso Estado de bienestar
Por qué los finlandeses son los más felices del mundo si tienen un paro entre los más altos de Europa
El estado del bienestar y la capacidad de adaptación de sus ciudadanos son claves para encabezar el ranking

I have been thinking to update the graphic material I use to teach the kinds of transport across the membrane to include proteorhodopsins among active transporters. And I found this nice example of AI getting all confused with simple questions:

In 1990, 943 million people in China lived on less than $3 a day measured in 2021 dollars – 83% of the population, according to the World Bank. By 2019, the number was brought down to zero. In the US more than 4 million Americans live on less than $3 a day, 3x as many as 35 years ago.
China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice
Despite the US’s economic success, income inequality remains breathtaking. But this is no glitch – it’s the system

I had a good laugh reading this proposal of the j index:

Indeed, the bibliographic metrics are reaching ridiculous levels. We all should focus on doing good science, rather than getting high numbers in metrics.
