“Whether the greenlash continues, or gives way to new momentum for climate action, will be determined not only by elections, economic developments or Donald Trump’s latest views,” argues Luisa Neubauer, but also by “the stories we tell ourselves”

Esta é uma péssima comparação. Salário depende da ocupação, e a composição de ocupações é diferente no setor público e no setor privado. Não há no setor público a concentração de profissionais de serviços pessoais, operadores de caixa, telemarketing e frentistas, malpagos, maioria no setor privado.

A Nature Outlook article reports on the preliminary evidence that microbiota-based treatments can be beneficial for people with mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety. But how these interventions work is not clear, and human trials are needed. #microbiome #medsky 🧪

Colombia is right but I hope it opens itself up to the whole world and does not allow itself to become too reliant on China. Latin America needs to be less reliant on former colonial powers/ current superpowers.
