Nicely done. Fascists are persona non grata. You don’t invite them to your events. You don’t have champagne and canapés with them. Tolerance cannot tolerate intolerance.

Curious results show that practitioners bias that patients won’t want oral rehydration solution for diarrhoea is a major reason why the uptake of ORS so low in India! Important to address practitioners bias sciencemagazinedigital.org/sci

"Em primeiro lugar, a prevalência de soundbites é inversamente proporcional à quantidade de temas essenciais que os debates cobrem. Há um apagão que me deixa especialmente perplexa relativamente a dois assuntos determinantes do nosso futuro no médio prazo – a educação e a ciência."

"Muitos de nós mendigam comida. A fome tornou as pessoas estranhas. Vi gente roubar, muitas lutas. Nenhuma privacidade. Zero higiene. O esgoto está por toda a parte. Milhares de membros amputados. Queimaduras. Cadeiras de roda e bengalas. O hospital está tão cheio, corredores, pátios. Centenas de feridos a dormir ao relento. Gaza já não é habitável. Gaza, a bela casa, tornou-se uma grande pilha de entulho. As imagens lembram-me Nagasáqui e Hiroxima. Mais de cem mil deficientes e cerca de 40 mil vítimas. Recebi uma foto da minha casa e do meu bairro. É como um terramoto. Estamos em choque. Desculpa, não devia preocupar-te. Acredita, estamos fortes. Mais do que alguma vez imaginámos.”

"Prokaryotes are diverse and as a group possess many functional cell-biological tools that could be exapted for novel multicellular morphogenesis, including mechanisms for cell–cell communication, differentiation, and collective growth (9). So why, then, haven’t multicellular prokaryotes evolved complex multicellularity?"
