Por primera vez desde 1982, Australia no ha registrado ni un solo caso de cáncer de cuello uterino en mujeres menores de 25 años. Un hito sin precedentes gracias al impacto de la vacuna del VPH… y una prueba de lo que se logra cuando no se cede ante los antivacunas.

Of all the wonderful depictions of Pleistocene life shown in Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, few can compare with the beauty and realism of these psilopterines. I don't think I'm exaggerating to say this is the first and only time terror birds have been done properly in a documentary.
