Soy mujer cis. Vivo entre mujeres cis con las que me relaciono. No me interesa ni creo en la astrología ni las energias espirituales como una mayoría de mis amigas. Pero no puedo evitar esas charlas, por más que no la comparta. Sobre todo en redes. Solo sonrío disimuladamente y cambio de tema.

Un poco de misantropia es buena para el alma. ¿Por que amar incondicionalmente a una especie que cada vez comete más atropellos en contra de sus congéneres y el ambiente en el que vive?

I'm a little tired of Instagram/Facebook/Other social media, trying to sell me things every time I open them. Even Science is treated as a commodity.

Republicans are twice as likely (1 in 5) as Democrats (1 in 10) to believe the measles shot is worse than the disease. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
I'm surprised that the number is that high for both parties.

As part of their plan to GUT the science mission at NASA, Trump and Musk want to cancel the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope — a critical project that is on time, under budget, and nearly finished.
They want to flush those taxpayer dollars down the drain. How is THAT efficient?

It's not just Columbia, it's not just DEI, and it's not just biomedical research: Trump's war on universities has frozen crucial science at institutions like Princeton, Cornell, Northwestern, and more. Our @nature.com team spoke to some of the affected scientists: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
How Trump’s attack on universities is putting research in peril
Scientists have little information as the US government freezes and cancels their funding.

The urethra is no mere passive conduit for urine, according to a study in mice. Ascending pathogens trigger a multicellular signaling pathway including neuroendocrine cells and serotonin, resulting in defensive urethral muscle contractions. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
