#Time is a human #invention that compares the void between events.

Anyone working in #agriculture knows how important #timing is, but did you know that plants have internal #rhythmic biological mechanisms that can influence the effectiveness of #agrochemical applications depending on the time of day?

Understanding these mechanisms and how to apply this knowledge in the field is still a challenge. Together with Carlos Hotta and Antony Dodd, we decided to present some ideas in this new article published in The New Phytologist Foundation—my first as first author.

I’m very excited to share these ideas because they’re part of the topic of my doctoral thesis, which focuses on #plant sensitivity to #herbicides at different times of the day.

#Chronobiology is a relatively recent science, but its discoveries have already earned a Nobel Prize in 2017. Personally, I believe that studies in chronobiology applied to agriculture could lead to the emergence of a new scientific field: #chronoagronomy.

Chronoagronomy could focus on studying the effects of time in agriculture—understanding all temporal factors and how they affect production systems, from soil preparation and crop rotations to the final product price in the market—with the goal of optimizing outcomes through process synchronization and the application of #chronoculture or circadian agriculture.

#Agronomy has always relied on knowledge of temporal factors, but has never studied them systematically in all their dimensions. Understanding the role of #time might be the breakthrough we need to produce more, produce better, and avoid environmental disaster.

|That’s all

Time and money are human inventions. Space is an illusion. We are merely frequencies of vibration: energy. That's all there is to the observable universe.

Israel Is Not to Blame!

The blame lies with the United States. The U.S. has been the main financier of all Israeli actions since May 14, 1948. Israel is merely the American arm in the Middle East. If we truly want to solve this problem, we need to stop the United States. Was the justification for attacking Iran really that Iran was expanding its military program?

2 Years of Blogging!

Two years ago, I started writing this blog with the simple goal of letting some of the words (just words!) that live in my mind flow out. Was it a success? That depends. Success is a very relative thing. And tbh, it wasn’t even the goal. But in these two years, til June 13, 2025, I’ve had 444 views from 335 visitors across 17 different countries, and one like. So what? So now I’m officially a blogger with two years of experience. Congratulations to…

Vale a pena?

Vale a pena eu continuar a escrever este blog em meio ao oceano de conteúdos da internet? Vale a pena estudar a vida toda e perceber que não aprendeu nada? Vale a pena viajar e voltar para a mesma vida que tinha antes? Vale a pena se render ao sistema? Vale a pena votar em quem mente? Vale a pena mentir para conquistar algo?

Trump X Musk is fake!

I refuse to believe this fight is real.There's no way two people with that much power are behaving in such a childish way. I mean, even I, an idiot who sees himself as a 41 years old child, wouldn’t fight with someone like that, putting on a show on social media.Can you imagine old billionaires doing this? “But what one said about the other is really serious.

Six months of research experience in the UK

Seis meses de experiência fazendo pesquisa no UK

Foi uma das experiências mais incríveis da minha vida.   O que de mais importante eu aprendi? Uma pergunta difícil de responder. Hoje, eu penso que estar em outro país nos permite observar e viver os contrastes culturais que nos fazem enxergar coisas simples com outros olhos. Por exemplo, a falta que a luz do sol faz no inverno, o canto dos passarinhos, a disponibilidade de água potável nas torneiras, a gratidão.

São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) postdoctoral fellowship available for 12 months at the Prof. Henning Ulrich’s laboratory at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of São Paulo

The #Neuroscience Laboratory at the Institute of Chemistry,
University of São Paulo, invites applications for a 12-month postdoctoral fellowship funded by FAPESP (São Paulo Research Foundation) under the supervision of Prof. Henning Ulrich.

This #fellowship is part of a larger research endeavor within the thematic #FAPESP grant. The project shall investigate the effects of caffeine and adenosine receptors in neurogenesis and neuroprotection using in vitro stem cell models of #Alzheimer’s disease.

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate who has obtained a doctorate degree in #Biological #Sciences within the last 7 years and has a strong publication record. Experience in cell culture and neurodifferentiation is essential, while proficiency in immunostaining, cytometry, biochemistry and molecular biology techniques would be advantageous.

The ideal candidate should demonstrate excellent communication skills, evidenced by presentation of scientific articles and data at conferences. The fellowship, commencing on April 01, 2024, will provide a monthly payment of R $ 9,047.40 (Brazilian Reais) per month, along with bench money.

Interested applicants should submit the following documents to henning@iq.usp.br by March 20, 2024:

A motivation letter (up to one page);

C.V, with a list of publications;

One recommendation letter.

Selected candidates will be contacted via email to arrange interviews.
