In my case, it all changed with a Marie Curie MC fellowship. I know there is not much time left to apply but if you want to come to the sunny Portugal, near Porto, to work on Littorina inversions (adaptation, sex chromosome evolution, speciation),contact me [email protected] to try out for a MC

Montenegro pode ser Sócrates 2009 - quem tem ética passa fome
Um primeiro-ministro cuja ética já causava muitas dúvidas foi reeleito perante a anomia do seu partido e do eleitorado. Muitos do que falam de “lama” no caso Montenegro já usavam a palavra em 2009.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.
