"É para já um projecto-piloto, mas a correr bem poderá vir a ser uma solução para mitigar os efeitos da falta de água na agricultura, em concreto na viticultura, e tornar mais eficiente o uso de um bem tão escasso e precioso."

"Our offices were just a short walk apart, and after meeting to discuss our suspicions, we began what has so far been a nearly 20-year collaboration to determine if phenylephrine was effective at the dosage available to consumers over the counter, and later, when we discovered it wasn’t, to petition the Food and Drug Administration to remove it from shelves."

"Natural proteins are composed of 20 proteinogenic amino acids and their post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, due to the lack of a suitable nanopore sensor that can simultaneously discriminate between all 20 amino acids and their PTMs, direct sequencing of protein with nanopores has not yet been realized."

El otro día la CEO de tuiter, Linda Yaccarino, dio una desastrosa entrevista en el evento Code 2023. Una entrevista de vergüenza ajena, con el público riéndose de ella cada vez que defendía a Musk. Pero entre tanto bochorno, Yaccarina dejó escapar un dato: Tuiter ha perdido más de 25 millones de usuarios activos desde que lo compró Musk:

'For Small, who is now based at Canada’s McGill University, uncertainty is in itself grounds for caution. “We know enough to know that we don’t know enough,” she says. “And so I think that the feelings of safety around artificial sweeteners are not warranted.”

The dead dolphins were all found in Lake Tefé over the past seven days, according to the Mamirauá Institute, a research facility funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Science.
Researchers and activists are trying to rescue surviving dolphins by transferring them from lagoons and ponds in the outskirts to the main body of the river where the water is cooler...
