Maybe people who don’t care about people and the health of the planet shouldn’t be put in charge of the future of the planet.

Este manifiesto no es una súplica.

Es un grito.

Es un puño sobre la mesa de la indiferencia.

Es un llamamiento urgente a la conciencia del mundo.

¿Qué futuro estamos construyendo, si ante un genocidio televisado, todavía no hemos hecho todo lo posible para conseguir paralizarlo?

Uno de cada cuatro jóvenes entre 18 y 24 años se describe como bisexual en España. Y más de la mitad del colectivo LGTBIQ+ lo es. Reivindican la necesidad de visibilizarse y denuncian el cuestionamiento al que aún son sometidos social.elpais.com/55umc4

Psst…the only way to stop climate change is to stop burning fossil fuels. Pass it on.

Y basta ya del “love is love”.
El Orgullo no va de amar, va de SER.
Del derecho a ser como somos y como queramos.
Del derecho a expresar nuestra identidad siempre y en todo contexto, sin miedo a sufrir agresiones lgtbiqfóbicas como las que han aumentado por culpa del fascismo y sus cómplices.

Esta y otras muchas historias las podrás encontrar en HUERTOPÍAS, donde recorremos algunas de las experiencias de agricultura urbana más inspiradoras. Un esfuerzo por anclar lo utópico a prácticas que anticipan anteproyectos de ciudades más justas y ecológicas.

En un barrio empobrecido de EE.UU. asolado por el fracaso escolar un profesor inicia una revolución pedagógica a través de la agricultura urbana. Una aventura que le llevaría a ser galardonado con el Global Teacher Prize, el Premio Nobel educativo.

Gentes de Bluesky, firmad esto que es importante: iniciativa ciudadana europea para prohibir las "terapias" de conversión de personas LGTBIQ+. NO es un change.org, puede suponer un cambio legal real. Y no lo dejéis para luego, que se acaba el sábado. eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Our study exploring the evolutionary mechanism of alphavirus opal codon retention is now online! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
A conserved opal termination codon optimizes a temperature-dependent trade-off between protein production and processing in alphaviruses
Alphaviruses optimize viral polymerase production and polyprotein processing at distinct temperatures via a premature stop codon.

Stephen J Gould dedicated 'The Structure of Evolutionary Theory', to the two colleagues he felt closest to him,
calling them his fellow “musketeers”:
Niles Eldredge @nilese.bsky.social and Elisabeth Vrba.

Scientists love to debate and argue, but if there are 3 things every scientist absolutely agrees on, it's that:

1. Climate change is real
2. Vaccines work
3. Those are NOT dire wolves 😤

A reminder that measles infections has been shown to limit the immune response to other pathogens. The measles vaccine therefore protects against a range of diseases, not just measles. 🧪
