“We attach great importance to academic freedom and to open academic debate, even when views are controversial.However, that freedom is not unlimited. It goes hand in hand with responsibility and may be restricted in order to protect the rights of others.” @ugent Ghent University

Los rescatistas mexicanos certificados no fueron aceptados por el gobierno de Colombia.
#LaMañanera | "La brigada de la de la Secretaria de la Defensa Nacional de Rescatitas no fue aprobada"
Pese a contar con acreditación, la brigada del Ejército no ha podido sumarse a los rescates en Colombia porque el gobierno colombiano pide otra certificación, explicó Claudia Sheinbaum.

Very thankful 🙏 for being included in this Quantum 100 list as part of the UNESCO’s International Year for Quantum Science and Technology. A recognition that by default is extended to the group of early career researchers and collaborators I work with 👇🏽quantum2025.org/quantum-100/…
To accelerate a paradigm shift in the way we understand some fundamental processes in nature, while bridging quantum sciences, biosciences and chemistry.
This is also a recognition to the funders that invest in our curiosity-led research.
I am also very happy to see..👇🏽
familiar and unfamiliar faces from all over the world, recognised in this initiative. It conveys a message I fully echo: the transformative power of QS&T can only be realised when the full depth of the contributions worldwide is recognised and amplified.

En #Eferveciencia, usamos a #Barbie y su lema "tú puedes ser, lo que quieras ser" para fomentar vocaciones científicas y desafiar estereotipos.
Deconstruyamos roles de género con una muñeca icónica en el siguiente hilo🧵
¡Imaginen a #Barbie como científica de alto nivel! 👩🔬

A Colombian man is only the second patient identified with the miraculous ability to defy the devastating Alzheimer’s gene, an international team of scientists report in the journal Nature Medicine.
Doctors hope the two known cases will allow researchers to develop new treatments to protect other people with Alzheimer’s disease. wapo.st/3Oa6FY8
