Estos días me pasaron esta guía de la Comisión Europea que puede ser muy útil para cualquier persona que quiera que, por ejemplo, los resultados de un "paper" salgan fuera de los típicos círculos cerrados.

New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime.

Study out in Science Advances today finds that using even 1% of "suitable areas" for offshore wind and solar power could yield 30 percent of global electricity needs in 2050

Offshore wind and solar PV could meet nearly 30% of 2050 electricity demand using only 1% of suitable ocean areas.

A nearly microscopic bug that has a bulbous body, an ant-like head, and two long antennae crawls on a thin piece of wood which has a slime mold growing on it. The slime mold has a short white stalk and the top is a long cylindrical-shaped, reflective thing. It looks like a small bean but reflects a faint blue, green and purple in the light.

In #drylands, plants don’t grow randomly — they self-organize into disordered hyperuniform patterns that help them use water wisely & endure extreme aridity. A beautiful hidden logic of nature, revealed in a new @pnas.org study doi.org/10.1073/pnas... including #Maestrelab alumni
