O 25 de Abril poderá ter trazido maior liberdade aos docentes da academia portuguesa, mas certamente os alunos continuam sem voto na matéria. Desde o numerus clausus à entrada, até a falta de escolha curricular e mudança de cursos.
Também não têm qualquer poder sobre professores abusivos ou incompetentes, exames que reprovam percentagens inconcebíveis noutros países, nem sequer nos horários que os afetam nem na gestão das suas cantinas.
Admira-me que alunos portugueses sejam tão dóceis—ou talvez não,dada a escolinha secundária em que são educados. A academia portuguesa trata os alunos com um autoritarismo anacrónico que afeta muito o bem-estar deles, incluindo a saúde mental---que certamente contribui para que tantos abandonem o pais para ambientes que lhes dão maior liberdade.

Indiana politicians are really stupid. This is the most famous center at @IUBloomington . Cole Porter, another Hoosier, even immortalized it brilliantly (https://youtu.be/XZu3iGB3fYY?si=r_MdykfLnbxvPCEn).

Fun interview I gave to @GraceyWeather at the @natwxdesk podcast for Valentine's Day. About sex, of course. Big shout out to @mjoanasa towards the end.

P.S. Though I have to say that the best version of the song is @DavidBowieReal and @Gail_Ann_Dorsey fabulous #DrumAndBass live version https://youtu.be/J4-U7MmpatM?si=lg6DUvroTC5SQfnn
No such thing as #academicfreedom in #Germany: "The university said it believed that art, culture and science are places 'where contentious issues are kept in check'".
@LaurieAnderson ends German professorship after criticism of Palestine support
Very apropos, I have been playing @OnlyAnExpert all day, especially my favorite German techno remix of Oh Superman by @BookaShade . "they are american planes."

Full text now available on PubMed Central. I love PMC and that federally-funded research becomes available to the public there.
"The distance backbone of #complexnetworks" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10859673/
Updated third chapter of my #EvolutionarySystems and #bioinspiredComputing class. This semester I added a new subsection about #complexsystems and #systemsScience approaches to studying life, from #artificallife to #systemsbiology. "#MODELING THE WORLD AND SYSTEMS APPROACH TO LIFE"
My latest op-ed is about #polipharmacy #druginteraction, which are higher in Portugal than almost everywhere else in Europe, and how #datascience could help. #dataforgood #health #publichealth
Second chapter of 2024 lecture notes for my course "Evolutionary Systems and Bio-inpired Computing"

A #DJ set to celebrate Blue Monday. A lot of 4-track DJing in three parts to cover the tracks that influenced Blue Monday (Part I: Origins), those that it inspired (Part II: Reaction), and those that were tapping the same influences (Part III). #Disco

Nunca pensei que "aprender a viver com COVID" fosse aprender a fazer com a cabeça o que fazem as avestruzes. Vamos todos a continuar a fingir que não há COVID e aumento da transmissão no Natal e fim do ano. "Aprender a viver" deveria subentender vacinação mais alargada, bem como uma cultura de testar antes e usar máscara com grupos grandes, idosos ou pessoas com imunidade comprometida---em vez de tomar benuron para esconder sintomas. Portugal deixou de publicar analise de águas residuais, mas sabemos através dessas medições que nos EUA acontece a segunda maior onda de infeções sars-cov-2 de sempre (
https://erictopol.substack.com/p/sotp-state-of-the-pandemic). Sabemos também que só a vacinação com a ultima vacina dá proteção (60%) contra hospitalização; ter vacinas ou infeções anteriores não dá proteção (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.24.23300512v1), e isto é verdade para todos os grupos etários (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2813910). Mas as nossas autoridades de saúde publica vão continuar a dizer que a mortalidade “é do frio”. (não estou a menosprezar o efeito da gripe que certamente contribui mas padece dos mesmos problemas acima)
