What has been your recent experience with @plosone.org? We had a paper accepted on 17/12/25 and as of today, 28/1/26 they still have not given as a date for the paper to appear?

I have just joined the @greenparty.org.uk We have to think differently in this country. Enough of the same old stories and excuses. However, I was disappointed to see that the southwest is not even listed as a region on the site. This needs to change. A national movement has to be indeed national!

A derrota do João Fonseca no Australian open é um alerta que demora muito até alguém ser considerado um jogador que disputará os grandes torneios. O Brasil adora criar heróis antes da hora.

Large cities are often assumed to be more violent, but our review shows there’s nothing universal about urban violence.
In our new study, @ronaldomenezes.bsky.social and I show that isolated cities tend to experience higher rates of violence against civilians.

Our new study challenges assumptions about urban violence in Africa.
Surprising finding: isolated cities face 4x higher violence risk than large, connected cities. Size matters less than connectivity.
Amazing work with @rafaelprietocuriel.bsky.social
