Deadly infectious bone disease wiped out long-necked dinosaurs in Brazil
Researchers found sauropod bones with signs of osteomyelitis, an infectious disease that can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or protozoa and that killed the animals quickly. The discovery suggests that favorable conditions for the disease existed.

Geopolitical trends in spider taxonomy! academic.oup.com/biolinnean/a...
If history is written by the victors, who describes the spiders? Species author trends reflect gender and geopolitical disparities in biodiversity science
Abstract. Gathering data on species description authorship is one way to track who has had access to a career in taxonomy. Via data from the World Spider C

Como falar em soberania sem investimento forte em ciência?
O subfinanciamento crônico da ciência no Brasil frequentemente paralisa pesquisas, impede nossa soberania.
Nesse episódio, falamos dos problemas enfrentados por unidades de pesquisa com baixo financiamento.

Loved this post from a postdoc who lived through the Bolsonaro years in Brazil:

"The best 'fuck you' to fascists? Thriving. Publish that paper. Build that collaboration. Laugh with labmates. Science outlives dictators—but only if we stay in the fight."

New study on duck-billed dinosaur Huallasaurus australis reveals no evidence of invasive air sacs in Ornithischia. CT scans show dense vertebrae, suggesting these dinos used a “pelvic bellows” breathing system—unlike saurischians.
