¿Por qué la región entre Zamora, León y Ourense arde tanto?
No, no es para construir aerogeneradores, ni por ninguna de las teorías conspiranoicas que estamos leyendo. La explicación es más compleja… y menos cómoda para quienes buscan respuestas simples. 1/13

Our pathogenicity trials are now underway. We’re testing whether the Phytophthora isolates we collected from National Park soils are pathogenic to various forest species. Over the next 8–10 weeks, we'll let them grow and observe how they interact with the plants. #biosecurity, #nationalparks

BIOPARQUE, funded by @oapngob.bsky.social is moving forward with its objectives. Our pathogenicity trials are now underway — we’re testing whether the Phytophthora isolates found in National Parks are pathogenic to native forest species. Results coming soon.

Toxic workplaces are the main reason women leave academic jobs. Women feel driven out by problems with workplace culture more often than by lack of work–life balance.

Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields
Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.
