@cyrilpedia i have a challenge to you :) make a list of the most commonly used scientific jargon terms and afterwards try to find a commonly accepted definition. For many, it will be impossible ;) their usefulness is to help us ignore the “small” and “meaningless” disagreements (for now!), and give the foggy perception of common ground. This is in my opinion crucial for scientific advances … further discussion on this topic demands beer and nice place to hang out…

No Brasil rolam cabeças nas forças policiais. E por cá? Sabendo que há infiltração da extrema direita nas forças de segurança, o que é que o governo está à espera para expurgar esses elementos e qualquer chefia que lhes dê cobertura?

In August 1936 Robert Capa left for Spain with the intention of documenting the Spanish Civil War on the front line. Capa is passionate about the anti-fascist cause, takes a stand, becomes a militant, telling like no other the strength and courage of men in struggle and the difficulties of an afflicted and innocent people. The photo, known as “The Falling Soldier”, was taken on the Cordoba front, in Cerro Muriano, during a Loyalist offensive

You see a European artist's worktable from mid seventeenth century. These worktables were places where paper was used, a place where ink, quills, and paper was stored and handy. Let's focus on this in more detail, a short thread for friends of #paperhistory.
