defender la alegría como un derecho
defenderla de dios y del invierno
de las mayúsculas y de la muerte
de los apellidos y las lástimas
del azar
y también de la alegría.

defender la alegría como una certeza
defenderla del óxido y la roña
de la famosa pátina del tiempo
del relente y del oportunismo
de los proxenetas de la risa

defender la alegría como un destino
defenderla del fuego y de los bomberos
de los suicidas y los homicidas
de las vacaciones y del agobio
de la obligación de estar alegres

defender la alegría como una bandera
defenderla del rayo y la melancolía
de los ingenuos y de los canallas
de la retórica y los paros cardiacos
de las endemias y las academias

defender la alegría como un principio
defenderla del pasmo y las pesadillas
de los neutrales y de los neutrones
de las dulces infamias
y los graves diagnósticos

Estos dias, agradezco a Benedetti por el poema y a Serrat por la melodia. A defender la alegria, que si no nos secamos.

DEFENSA DE LA ALEGRÍA
Defender la alegría como una trinchera
defenderla del escándalo y la rutina
de la miseria y los miserables
de las ausencias transitorias
y las definitivas

And if you're a PI and you want to open doors to the next generation of scientists, consider offering a membership to your team members. They will all get enriched by being a part of this incredible society, independently of their background.
sacnas.users.membersuite.com/shop/store/b...

And if based in the USA, you can also support those communities by getting in touch with your local University Chapters. They probably need you as well.

Do you want to support Hispanics and Native Americans in #STEM? If you said yes, become a member of @sacnas.bsky.social. You don't have to be a member of those communities to be a part of #SACNAS, but being a member helps you support and celebrate them.

Called #BCBS to ask about coverage of the COVID vaccine for a 19 month old. The answer is no because they follow #CDC and not #APA guidelines. Welcome to #eugenics and health/life only for those who can pay. The vaccine is about $140 as of right now.

Quedan tres semanas para aplicar al Taller Suraméricano de Biología Evolutiva en Uruguay (nov 23-29) Todos los gastos pagos para estudiantes, gracias a la financiación del @sse-evolution.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social #CienciaCriolla Info aquí: sites.google.com/view/evosur2...

Si, estoy pensando que si tienen raices muy profundas, podria ser que se necesite mas tiempo para que lleguen a la temperatura correcta... Que misterio tan interesante! Gracias por la oportunidad de pensar juntos! :)

Otra opcion. Como es la temperatura nocturna a traves del anio en estas rocas? No sera eso lo que define cuando florecen? (por ej, es demasiado baja en otros momentos de la temporada).

Que misterio! Sabe si dependen de polinizacion cruzada o si se autopolinizan? Podria ser que no dependan de polinizadores y florecer en este momento puede ser no mejor ni peor que en cualquier otro momento. Pero con el beneficio de que tuvieron tiempo de juntar energia en la primavera.

Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by Science These graphics will guide you through science-based vaccine guidelines for children and adults

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪
