BREAKING NEWS The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

Overpublishing puts enormous stress on students and PIs. And brings tons of money to publishers in STEM. A new study shows that the number of papers is increasing FASTER than the number of #PhD graduates. It’s an amazing work with very useful statistics. Huge kudos to the

The countdown to #COP28 is on! Excitement is building as we look forward to impactful discussions on climate and health. Join the #CLIMADE consortium at the Blue Zone, Mozambique Pavilion, and connect with Tulio de Oliveira Marta Giovanetti , Moritz Kraemer and Sam Oyola from ILRI.org .

The Brazilian politician who turned the tide on deforestation As Brazil’s environment minister, Marina Silva helped to rein in rampant deforestation and rebuild institutions that were weakened by the previous government #Natures10 #COP28 go.nature.com/47ShZ2b

One of my heroes, so proud to also have been listed together with Marina da Silva in Nature's 10 most impactful people.

🦟🌍 Dengue virus is spreading globally, even in Europe! In 2023, Italy saw a record high in dengue cases. Our latest research introduces a data repository and delves into circulating viral lineages, hotspots, and climate impacts! @LourencoJML <3 and the dream team!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! May there be peace on Earth, and may you all be kind and honest to each other.

1/ a primeira é que não é sobre ter ou não a minha bolsa aprovada, mas sobre critérios e procedimentos que devem valer para todos e todas em qualquer contexto. Por isso a minha decisão de publicizar e politizar essa questão.

It is  a pleasure to announce the 2024 VEME international workshop.  This 28th VEME will be organized by FIOCRUZ from Minas Gerais state and will be held at FIOCRUZ unit from Brasília, capital city of Brazil during August 4–9, 2024.  For more details: veme.climade.health

Climate change has killed at least four million people. I wrote this because I felt like I was the only one who had noticed. If you ever read and share anything I've written, I hope it'll be this short piece, out today in Nature Medicine nature.com/articles/s4159…
