'Como ex-bolseiros de investigação e técnicos superiores doutorados na FCT, consideramos que o papel da fundação necessita ser repensado, superando o paradigma a que se tem remetido, enquanto mera agência de financiamento, abrindo-se à comunidade científica, tornando-se uma verdadeira casa dos investigadores, e convocando para si um papel de charneira, como plataforma de permanente diálogo entre a administração e a investigação, ao serviço de todos.'

'O medo é um sentimento monopolista: quando temos medo, não conseguimos pensar em mais nada. E foi no excitar do medo através de um meio de comunicação de massas que os fascistas se tornaram diabolicamente eficazes.'

We cannot do this alone. We need your help both on the streets and in the background supporting protestors in other ways.

Long COVID can change your life--even if you've seemingly recovered. “People who have recovered from long COVID can suffer relapses or flare-ups from new viral infections — not just from COVID but from cold, flu, and other viral pathogens, researchers have found.”
The ONLY way to prevent Long COVID is to avoid your next infection with #COVID19.

'The network was born of the era of self-improvement, when the educational benefits of libraries for all citizens, irrespective of their social status, was regarded as an important element in driving the nation forward.
In this anniversary year, it is a tragic irony that the system is now facing one of the most severe challenges in its history. More than 800 public libraries have closed since 2010. More closures are expected.'

'GSK has reached a licensing agreement with mRNA vaccine developer CureVac worth up to €1.4bn to develop its vaccines for flu, Covid-19 and avian flu.
The UK drugmaker has an existing collaboration with the German vaccine maker but it will pay €400mn to CureVac to take full control of developing vaccines under the agreement.'
