Más alla de la enorme vergüenza que da que Milei sea presidente, cuesta entender que el establishment Argentino este dispuesto a soportar sus costos economicos…ni hablar de los laburantes cuya calidad de vida se ha deteriorado enormemente.
#Milei
Con el porcentaje de energúmenos propios que tenemos, que encima tengamos que soportar que vengan sujetos como este individuo
Que se atreva a llamar corto mental a nadie, que le pongan un espejo en su hotel y que se vea, para corto mental, él

I am a long time subscriber to National Geographic. National Geographic generally does a superb job of covering complex scientific topics. However, The End of Aging” in the September issue was a dramatic deviation from this record. 1/n
Un 12 de octubre de 1492 llego Cristóbal Colón a América. A partir de allí los Europeos invadieron este continente y para saquear sus recursos naturales mataron, esclavizaron y sometieron a los Pueblos Originarios.
Hoy, 12 de octubre de 2026, ese sangriento proceso colonizador continúa.
👀 Un estudio sobre carga impositiva a la riqueza empresarial encontro en Noruega muestra q fue un gran éxito: El «éxodo» de personas ricas nunca se produjo (< de 100 individuos se fueron), la recaudación fiscal aumentó un 71,5 % y no hubo cambios en la actividad empresarial ni en la inversión.
New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment.

"Un sistema impositivo q incluya a las clase media y alta es necesario p/lograr un estado de bienestar verdadero(...). Los impuestos sobre la riqueza de las personas mas ricas protege la democracia y el estado de derecho, previene las dinastías aristocráticas y nos mantiene humanos"
A real welfare state and universal health care require broad taxation, including the middle class. But high end wealth taxation is the kind of tax that protects democracy and the rule of law, and prevents aristocratic dynasties. It keeps us human.

Muchisimas gracias a la Asociacion Argentina de Pediatria, a su Presidente Dra Gisela Martinchuk, la Dra Laura Strada y el resto de sus miembros por la invitacion y por la calidez con la que recibieron mi charla.❤️

Women are more likely than men to develop dementia, and not just because they tend to live longer.
One reason may be menopause, the time in midlife when sex hormones drop and menstruation stops—and which some researchers are coming to see as a stress test for the brain. https://scim.ag/4dgKWJZ
❤️ that the #NobelPrize brought the spotlight to #optogenetics. We use the same technique to study how cells move during development, like in this beautiful study by the Solnica-Krezel lab where they show mesoderm can influence endoderm convergent extension in 🐟!

Like love, science—in the end—always triumphs...
In this case, a major breakthrough in the evolutionary history of plastids—vital for photosynthesis and, therefore, life—despite cuts to basic science in USA.
Como el amor, la ciencia - al final - siempre triunfa...
En este caso gran un avance en la historia evolutiva de los plastidios, vitales para la fotosíntesis, ergo para la vida, a pesar de los recortes en ciencia básica en EEUU.
Tanta gente q solo ama el $, y a si misma ...y q para sentirse mas intenta q el resto se sienta menos...Y en ese tramite se olvidan de disfrutar de su existencia...
