  1. The latest edition of the #PBSNews show Horizons has an excellent piece on a science study published in Nature last month that found that over half of migratory birds globally are now in decline. Most of the show is a thoughtful interview with the lead author of that research, Peter Marra.

    The interview is quite sobering, although I appreciate Peter's hopeful response that birds have rebounded from stupid things we've done before (over-hunting of egrets and herons for feathers for hats, and widespread use of DDT insecticides on farms).

    Watch to the end for information on another recent science study showing that bird watching is good for our brains. 😀

    I've also put a link below to an article on #TheConversation that Peter wrote with a co-author about their migratory bird research.

  7. @bruno Ce n'est pas la #technique qui fait ce résultat, mais le #management.
    Je vois la même logique dans un autre taf : les petits remplacements, faciles, sont confiés depuis qlq années, à des recrutés par les Assedic, donc non titulaires, pour un temps court et payés au lance-pierre, et donc les remplaçants titulaires et expérimentés, ne font plus que les remplacements difficiles et longs : harassant !

    À propos, cohérence ? #traqueurs #GAFAM chez #TheConversation et critiques de l' #IAg ??

  10. ¿Qué #pescados son más sanos? Esto sigue siendo uno de los temas más confusos para el consumidor medio. Y la confusión no es accidental: conviven intereses industriales, alarmas mediáticas mal calibradas y mensajes de salud pública que se quedan en el titular sin matizar lo que realmente dice la #ciencia: periodistadigital.com/elbuenvi #cocina #nutrición #salud #TheConversation

  12. A veces ocurre lo contrario: es la “ciencia” la que genera descontextualizaciones y emite medias verdades que, repetidas a lo largo de generaciones, terminan por adquirir apariencia de certeza. No porque sean verdad, sino porque suenan bien, resultan “de toda la vida” y se vinculan a algún nombre eminente (criterio de autoridad). En dietética y salud sucede con... periodistadigital.com/elbuenvi #theconversation

  15. Los pulpos son muy inteligentes pero en este caso su diseño –con tres corazones, nueve “cerebros” y un cuerpo flexible con infinitas posibilidades de camuflaje– difiere radicalmente del nuestro. Por ello, en opinión de filósofo Peter Godfrey Smith, relacionarnos con un #pulpo es lo más parecido que podemos experimentar en la Tierra a interaccionar con una mente #alienígena... periodistadigital.com/elbuenvi #ciencia #theconversation @theconversationes

  16. Los investigadores se propusieron medir con precisión el mapa de la tolerancia a la #lactosa en la prehistoria europea y entender qué impulsó a la humanidad a abrazar el #pastoreo antes de que nuestros cuerpos estuvieran preparados para ello.
