⚠️Las élites anglosionistas han probado hasta dónde podían llegar, y no encontraron límite.
Gaza lo demuestra.

Erramos si pensamos que estas prácticas de exterminio son cosa lejana.

La barbarie exterminadora sedienta de sangre de pobres continuará. Son los amos del mundo y quieren todo para ellos.

We identify three major areas where change is possible:
1. Rethinking research evaluation
2️. Strengthening training & mentorship
3️. Reducing and recognizing administrative tasks

Why do so many ecologists share common feelings of disconnection between their research goals and real-world impact? 🌍

This is why for a long time I've found the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science a rather insulting propaganda exercise

www.abc.net.au/news/science...

CSIRO funding as a percentage of GDP:

1982-83 = 0.17

2024-25 = 0.03

...

Scientific extinction event imminent?
The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding
Australia is known as a country of innovators, but with a combination of brain drain, continuous cuts, and a loss of critical science projects, is Australia losing its edge?

Illegal landfills, meanwhile, have no restrictions on what enters them, no lining + no filters. Until strong measures are taken to deal with illegal dumping, people's health will continue to be at risk from the chemicals they can contain.

Historic landfills can contain items we use less today or wouldn't dispose of in landfill. Think lead paint or batteries, asbestos, arsenic. Until relatively recently, there was no requirement to line landfill. Many are in flood or coastal erosion zones.

New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”
A thread by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.

Plastic pellets are often mistaken for fish eggs + eaten by sea creatures. Because plastic is so absorbent, it soaks up pollutants from water which are consumed along with them. These beads were being used at a wastewater treatment plant so who knows what they could have absorbed.

No hijo de puta, no.

La gente MURIÓ porque no se la avisó.
Se podrá inundar igual, pero si avisas, la gente no va a currar, se refugia en los pisos altos, no baja al garaje a sacar el coche.

Las inundaciones son inevitables, las muertes no, puto desgraciado.
