Yet again, chronicle of a death foretold... 😑
Das 371 barragens mapeadas na Amazônia, 171 (46%) estão em situação crítica: com falhas estruturais ou alto risco de atingir pessoas e causar danos ambientais, segundo dados da ANM.
Barragens com risco de rompimento na Amazônia podem atingir área maior que a de Porto Alegre
Análise da InfoAmazonia mostra que quase metade das barragens de mineração na Amazônia estão classificadas com risco de acidente e dano potencial humano médio ou alto. A área total em caso de rompimento seria de 590 km², atingindo cidades e floresta.

I have watched so many women full professors leave - depressing to see that reflected in these stats 👇👇👇
"Women full professors are 19% more likely than men at the same career stage to leave academia, as compared with 6% for women assistant professors and 10% for associates."

If only we had detailed information telling us the climate is changing far faster than any time in human history...
...and if only we had an unambiguous physical explanation for why those changes have occurred...
...then some politicians would still deny any problem exists.

Helpful insight for colleagues in the Academy asked about the violent crackdown on student protests at major US universities.
The pathologies of the neoliberal university are coming to a head: deeply disempowering & coercive institutional practices (policing, surveillance, attacks on faculty governance, labor contingency) paired with empty discourses of care ("we love our students!" "we're a community!").
