This is a great podcast:
"This nine-part series tells the story of Salvador Allende, socialist president of Chile in the early 1970s, and his efforts to wrest control of technology from multinational corporations to create a fairer local economy."

'Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a leading cause of sexually transmitted disease and a concern due to increasing AMR. It contains a restricted repertoire of plasmids, including a conjugative plasmid, pConj, which disseminates plasmid-mediated AMR. We show that, in contrast to broad host range plasmids, pConj is largely restricted to and adapted to N. gonorrhoeae, and has been remarkably conserved since it first emerged over 80 years ago.'

' En todos los escenarios, hay ocho regiones españolas que están entre las más perjudicadas en la reducción del número de pernoctaciones. Son Baleares, Murcia, la Comunidad Valenciana, Extremadura, Andalucía, Comunidad de Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha y Cataluña. Además, España en su conjunto es tras Chipre, Grecia y Portugal el país europeo que más visitantes perderá.'

'Several indicators suggest that the quality of Chinese research is improving. Between 2012 and 2021, China’s share of the top 1% of the most-cited papers grew by 40%, while the US’s share dropped by 18%. The US is still ahead, according to Clarivate’s data, but the gap is narrowing, and other estimates suggest that China has already overtaken the US.'

'La llave que le abrió la puerta, la que le dio una oportunidad crucial que supo aprovechar, son las cuotas que desde hace una década reservan la mitad de las plazas en las mejores universidades brasileñas, las federales, que son públicas, para el alumnado de la escuela pública, con prioridad para pobres, negros, mestizos e indígenas. “Soy la prueba viva de que las cuotas funcionan. Creo que es una de las cuestiones en las que Brasil ha tenido más éxito”, dice desde Brasilia durante una entrevista por videollamada.'

Donald Trump selling assets like Mar-a-Lago to a shell company owned by his oldest son is exactly what innocent people do
Trump isn’t a flight risk
He’s a flight guarantee.
