Los niños ‘influencers’ son los olvidados de las leyes de protección de la infancia en internet. Reciben a menudo mensajes públicos de contenido explícitamente sexual, que no son borrados por los administradores porque reduce la visibilidad del post

Cuando criticas a un amig@🤔, ¿lo haces desde el cariño o desde el interés? Porque si tu amistad tiene condiciones, fechas de caducidad, intereses ocultos o límites según la conveniencia… quizá nunca fue verdadera. La amistad real no calcula, no etiqueta, no espera algo a cambio. ♥️ #amistad

As climate warms, Lyme disease is shifting — ticks are emerging earlier, spreading into new regions, and extending bite season. Journalists: update your reporting timelines, monitor rising trends, and highlight prevention in newly affected communities. healthjournalism.org/blog/2025/07...

Lyme disease is changing in a warming world — and so should the news

Framing Lyme disease as a climate story is crucial for public awareness, policy action, and understanding how ecological shifts are rewriting the boundaries of disease.

Hace unos años, una persona me llamó insolidaria por negarme a hacer su trabajo. Su estrategia, contra mis valores, logró desestabilizarme. Hoy le diría: la solidaridad no es sumisión. Elijo ayudar a quienes lo necesitan, y sigo demostrando mi solidaridad sin postureos y desde la discreción. 🕊️

In a large-scale proteomic study of biological aging of 11 organs, the biological ages of the brain and immune system emerged as strong predictors of healthspan and longevity, according to a paper in Nature Medicine. go.nature.com/44nLb1M #medsky 🧪

(2 Eng) Because, paradoxically, those who dare to speak out often face the harshest backlash, even from those who once called themselves friends or fellow allies.

(1)Being a #feminist isn’t about saying it or showing up at events; it’s about proving it in each informed choice, backed by facts and evidence supporting your stance, in every #silence you break, and every #injustice you dare to name even when the perpetrator is someone you like or who benefits you

(2) Porque, paradójicamente, quienes se atreven a alzar la voz suelen ser quienes más represalias sufren, incluso de aquellas personas que fueron sus amistades o compañeras de causa.
