"Confirming the existence of a sizable lava tube would allow us to better understand how volcanism worked on the Moon," says Gareth Morgan, deputy principal investigator of GIMLI, in another statement. #NASA #Luna #CienciasLunares (translated)
NASA has started a project called GIMLI to investigate whether the Marius Hill crater is the entrance to a vast underground cave on the Moon, which could serve as a natural shelter for future astronauts. #NASA #Luna #CienciasLunares (translated)
The author recalled the criticisms that Elon Musk and Donald Trump had directed at each other and stated that both had come back together. He also said that he trusted Trump's mood swings would lead him to make sound decisions on various issues that would be beneficial for the free world. #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #CienciaPolítica #US (translated)
The author asked what the DNA of the oldest known land animal, which they said had lived 194 years, might reveal about ageing. They wrote that exceptional longevity may depend not on avoiding ageing, but on maintaining stable regulation of genes involved in energy production, RNA processing and DNA repair.
José Manuel Restrepo Abondano said that he visited an agro-industrial project in Pajonales in Ambalema, Tolima, where he observed rice and corn crops, fish farming, and bioinputs. He pointed out that the initiative combined production, technology, and science, and stated that this model aligned with the objectives of the Misión Crecer, entrusted by President Abelardo De La Espriella: to promote an innovative, climate-change-adaptable, and sustainable agricultural sector. He also maintained that Colombia had great opportunities in the agricultural sector. #CampoColombiano #InnovaciónAgrícola #Sostenibilidad (translated)
Xico Graziano criticized Lilia Schwacz for a video in which, according to him, the professor said she would use Pix as much as possible because Flávio Bolsonaro could end the system by order of Donald Trump. Graziano classified the statement as false and questioned whether Schwacz knew this or truly believed that a victory for Bolsonaro would leave Brazil subservient to the United States. The author highlighted that Schwacz was a professor of Anthropology at USP, a Global Scholar from Princeton, an award-winning writer, and the owner of the publishing house Cia das Letras. He also stated that she was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters in March 2024 for chair 9. Graziano compared the video to her inauguration speech two years earlier, in which, according to him, Schwacz had advocated for the strengthening of institutions and citizenship. Graziano questioned whether the professor had used her prestige to deceive the public and speculated about the reasons for the publication, mentioning the possibility that she had consumed alcohol or was out of touch with reality due to living in an academic bubble. He also associated the episode with what he described as an old ideology of the Brazilian intellectual left, formed in the 1950s and 1960s and still linked to the class struggle. #FakeNews #Cidadania #Antropologia (translated)

Verônica Domingues stated that she never advocated for nudity as empowering or revolutionary and said that, as a Marxist, she did not consider any individual action capable of promoting a revolution. For her, showing breasts was an expression of sexuality or part of her work with adult content, and no work would be empowering under capitalism. The author said that blaming women for their objectification for wearing short clothes or posting nude photos was misogynistic, and emphasized the importance of consent. Regarding publishing images with a Lula sticker during the campaign, she assessed that this would probably not change votes, but argued that art did not need to have only a utilitarian purpose. Domingues also stated that she used other social networks, including Instagram and TikTok, to raise awareness and bring the left closer to Marxism. She criticized radical feminists who, according to her, treated sex as immoral and scrutinized the bodies of women who consented to appear nude. She also said that the revolution depended on the collective organization of the working class, not on showing or covering breasts. #Feminismo #Marxismo #DireitosDasMulheres (translated)
The post announced new ToolUniverse features that it said could automatically set up GPU environments, allowing agents to run machine-learning models on complex biological datasets and use the results in discovery campaigns. It credited Gao Shanghua with the work, in collaboration with NVIDIA.
Miriam González reported that a post of hers about the limits of artificial intelligence reached people at Anthropic, who quickly got in touch with her. She thanked them for the promotion and said she had requested to participate in the company's AI for Science program. During the early morning, she received acceptance of her project, and the usage credits for Claude appeared in her account. She added that she would continue to develop it and share updates. #IA #Ciencia #Éxito (translated)
The author noted that climate change was transforming agriculture and that Latin America could contribute to changing the future.
