"The organized lying practiced by totalitarian states is not, as is sometimes claimed, a temporary expedient of the same nature as military deception. It is something integral to totalitarianism, something that would still continue even if concentration camps and secret police forces had ceased to be necessary."

I don't think this is what Ali had in mind with "float like a butterfly".

"Calvino is probably the most seductive writer for me. I begin each of his books thinking, No, I don’t think so—I don’t think I’m going to get involved with this. Then I’m slowly, slowly drawn in."

"The prototype for that image was the frontispiece for Thomas Henry Huxley’s book Man’s Place in Nature, from 1863. It shows a similar series of primates, from gibbon to gorilla, that become successively taller and more erect, culminating in an upright human. Only here, they appear in skeleton form. What I discovered in the course of my research, from unpublished letters and other sources, was that the artist who drew the skeletons for Huxley’s book, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, was himself bitterly opposed to evolution."
"Brazil is seeing an unprecedented surge in dengue, a viral disease that can cause excruciating pains and is sometimes fatal. Its spread is fueled by a hot rainy season and Brazil’s rapid, unplanned urbanization. Health officials have reported more than 1 million suspected cases in January and February, four times as many as in the same period in 2023, and hundreds have died. But the country has far too little vaccine to protect its population."

"Paula Coutinho (1941-2022) foi uma mulher que quebrou barreiras, considerada vanguardista na neurologia, num mundo, à época, predominantemente masculino. A sua principal referência e mentor foi Corino Andrade, neurologista que descobriu a paramiloidose em famílias das Caxinas, e de quem foi herdeira científica. “‘pescada’ nas aulas práticas de Neurologia e levada para o serviço do Dr. Corino de Andrade”, no Hospital de Santo António (HSA), no Porto, em 1965, quando ainda frequentava a Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto. Foi a primeira neurologista a desenvolver o “pensamento genético” na doença neurológica, o que faz dela, de facto, a pioneira da neurogenética em Portugal."

"The sample of DOIs included in the study was made up of a random selection of up to 1,000 registered to each member organization. Twenty-eight percent of these works — more than two million articles — did not appear in a major digital archive, despite having an active DOI. Only 58% of the DOIs referenced works that had been stored in at least one archive. The other 14% were excluded from the study because they were published too recently, were not journal articles or did not have an identifiable source."

'Here, we show that p21 promoter-dependent expression of mTert prevents emphysema in aged mice, and this coincides with maintenance of microvascular density, decreased senescence of endothelial cells, and preservation of a pool of endothelial CD34+ cells endowed with proliferative capacities'

'The Pompidou Center in Paris, which owns one of the most extensive collections of French Surrealist art in the world, has organized the largest of the shows: a traveling exhibition that opened in Brussels on Feb. 21 and moves to Paris on Sept. 4. The show then goes to Hamburg and Madrid, and wraps up at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2026.'
