🇵🇹🪧 Did Portugal really stop during the General Strike?
Electricity: normal weekday levels, so we checked something else — seismic noise.
See images to see what the ground vibrations in Lisbon linked to human activity show:

Students from @fcienciasulisboa visited ROV Luso — Portugal’s deep-sea robot capable of diving to 6000 m!
Organized by NEG-FCUL, IDL, and DCTE, the visit offered a look at deep-ocean missions and how ROV Luso supports science and the extension of Portugal’s continental shelf🌊🇵🇹
