I don't want hardship to make me stronger. I want it to make me better, kinder, and more empathetic.

Qué buen artículo de @patriciasimon.bsky.social hoy en Planeta Futuro. Me encanta la selección de personas entrevistadas y mucho de lo que defienden, como la reivindicación del valor de lo "internacional" al tiempo que se da más poder a profesionales locales y regionales. No es un tema fácil...

Este es el nivel del Partido Popular en la Asamblea de Madrid:

su portavoz adjunto de sanidad no tiene ni idea de lo que dice y no tiene problema en demostrarlo.

Tampoco se han vuelto locos añadiendo jerga... Me da como palabras perfectamente seguras "ojete", "chumino", "zurullo" o "mamada"... #ojocuidao

How long until we start seeing "made by human" disclaimers in things we read/watch/listen, to guarantee they're #AI free, at least to a certain extent? For text, it could be something like a 5-level scale... 🧵

The protection of infant and young child feeding is often neglected in humanitarian response, seen as a minor or secondary intervention, despite the vulnerability of children under 2 years of age and their caregivers. #HopefulFutures #HealthForAll #WorldHealthDay saludeverywhere.com/en/health-in...
Infant and young child feeding - Salud everywhere
Humanitarian action must contribute to protecting infant and young child feeding, which is key to their survival and development.

President Trump wants to return to the era before the 1913 income tax. Why? The US implemented an income tax to make the robber barons pay their share.That's why Trump hates it. His view, let the robber barons of yesteryear & the tech bros of today keep theirs. And make sure that everyone else pays.
Why did we start taxing income in 1913?
“Too much of the revenue… is to be derived from the tariff on necessities of household use.”

Lesotho got hit with the highest tariff rate. 14% of Lesotho’s GNI is dependent on US trade. 50% of its people live on less than $5 a day, 32% live on less than $1.90 a day.

Its main export is diamonds so good luck to the new Ohio diamond industry www.bnnbloomberg.ca/tariffs/2025...
Trump targets African kingdom with highest tariff in the world
US President Donald Trump imposed a 50% reciprocal tariff on the tiny southern African mountain kingdom of Lesotho, the highest levy for any sovereign nation.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️

I don't know what the solution is, but it probably requires educating students on adequate and inadequate ways of using these tools, and developing ways of encouraging and valuing the genuine process of learning and overcoming challenges (using tools) instead of just assessing the resulting product

Students: do not plagiarize your work with AI. First, because you need to learn how to write research papers and literature reviews (and you learn by writing and making mistakes). Second, the AI often writes in a distinctive manner and includes false references. Both are easy to detect.

Nutrition is the key determinant to health. It's staggering that nearly 3 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet.

I arrived in Paris to join President Emmanuel Macron & health leaders at the Nutrition for Growth Summit, as we need continued investment and a laser-focus on ending malnutrition.
