Our response to calls for ‘compassionate collecting’ that amounted to an end to natural history field research.
‘Specimen collection is essential for modern science’ with 100+ authors led by Berkeley scientists - with Michael Nachman in the lead
journals.plos.org/plosbiolog… – at Auckland, New Zealand

The fantastic @dfbvaz explaining the title of his talk ‘Don’t want to be your bony wrench’ is based on him finding a fish bone 🦴 shaped like a wrench 🔧 when listening to @foofighters ‘Monkey Wrench’ album - maybe Dave Grohl can reach out to his biggest fan #ipfc2023 #ipfc11

I want to take a moment to acknowledge international students:
The constant worry & energy spent working on immigration documents
Being excluded from funding opportunities valued for postdoc & faculty positions
And the emotional toll of being away from family

Cutting off all communication to a population of 2.2 million is unacceptable. Journalists, medical professionals, humanitarian efforts, and innocents are all endangered.
I do not know how such an act can be defended. The United States has historically denounced this practice.
I have been trying to reach my family in Gaza for hours with no success. All telecommunications and internet have been cut, while Israeli strikes is literally destroying Gaza from air land and sea. How many more innocent people: children, parents and grandparents will be murdered before the world steps in?

Two million people. Half children. Starved. Bombed. Cut from communication.
Have those facilitating this thought much about the future this leaves us? No.
Some may dismiss a ceasefire as naïve or worse. Yet who has a plan for what follows this destruction? What do we call that?

Propaganda política da Argentina alerta para não votar no Bolsonaro de lá. Olhem para o Brasil e vejam o desastre que foi. Viralizou.

Americanos em Israel tiveram que assinar documento sem saber o custo que o governo dos EUA vão cobrar deles. Governo do Reino Unido cobrou R$ 1,800 pra resgatar cada cidadão. Lula mandou aviões, alugou casa, fretou ônibus pra tirar cidadãos brasileiros de graça pq vidas não tem preço.

Humans can only survive without water for about 3 days. Gaza has run dry.
The blockade on water, food, and electricity is an indiscriminate, collective punishment and a crime.
It is cruel and unjust. To save millions of people in Gaza - nearly half children - it must end. Now.

Porque a bancada da bíblia, ao invés de proibir casamento homoafetivo, não faz projeto pra aumentar a pena pra pastor que abusa e estupr@ crianças?
Diego F B Vaz retweeted
The population of Gaza is about 2 million. Nearly half are children.
Millions of innocent people cannot be made to pay for Hamas’ horror.
Collective punishment is a war crime. So are blockades to food and water.
We cannot allow dehumanization to descend into further atrocity.

há três meses, sâmia denunciou e-mails com ameaças de morte a ela e familiares.
"diziam que vão me matar e matar minha família das formas mais horríveis e sempre com requintes de crueldade", denunciou a deputada em julho, em entrevista a @tatibernardi

Os pobres que usam SUS e pedem pra privatizar tudo estão sabendo que nos Estados Unidos, onde não tem SUS, transplante coração custa R$ 6,9 milhões, transplante de pulmão R$ 4,3 milhões, transplante de fígado R$ 4 milhões, transplante de rim R$ 2 milhões, mas no SUS é de graça?

Ah, se o Lula ganhar vai fazer o povo comer cachorro. Ganhou e o desemprego caiu. Se o Lula ganhar vai tomar casa das pessoas. Ganhou e isentou pessoas do Bolsa Família de pagar prestação do Minha Casa Minha Vida. Se o Lula ganhar vai quebrar o Brasil. Ganhou e o PIB tá bombando. Pra cada fake, fatos.

Here’s what went down: we just won a clean 45 day gov extension, stripped GOP’s earlier 30% cuts to Social Security admin etc, staved off last minute anti-immigrant hijinks, and averted shutdown (for now).
People will get paychecks and MTG threw a tantrum on the way out. Win-win

Saímos de um presidente que disse que pintou clima com adolescentes, para um presidente que manda demitir quem cometer assédio em orgãos federais.
