Debo preparar 1 clase muestra y 1 charla sobre mi investigación para concursar una plaza y se me atraviesan: deadlines de congresos, renovación de beca posdoctoral, la muerte de mi asesor, mi presentación en un seminario, un viaje a Australia y la redacción de este texto. ¿Acabaré?

I recently learnt about the #ELEMENT (Early Life Exposures in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants) project! 😱
It includes 3 birth cohorts from MexCity hospitals, followed for over 2 decades to learn how metal & chemical environmental exposure affects pregnant women and children.

Did you know that wolves across the world speak in 21 different dialects, with differences depending both on species + location?

The frequency with which types of howls are used corresponds to the species of canid, whether dog or coyote, as well as to the subspecies of wolf.
