Who we think we are?
Our sense of identity Nathaniel Comfort Nathaniel Comfort is Professor of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. In the iconic frontispiece to Thomas Henry Huxley’s *Evidence as to Man’s Place in Nature* (1863), primate skeletons march across the page and, presumably, into the future: “Gibbon, Orang, Chimpanzee, Gorilla, Man.” Fresh evidence from anatomy and palaeontology had made humans’ place on the scala naturae scientifically irrefutable. We were unequivocally with the animals — albeit at the head of the line. Nicolaus Copernicus had displaced us... mais »

Big Tobacco, war and politics
Tobacco: the weed that’s hard to kill [image: American advertisement for Chesterfield cigarettes showing 2 US marine raiders, from American magazine McCall's, 1943] A new book by historian Sarah Milov manages to bring fresh insight into the well-trodden tale of the tobacco industry’s campaign to delay regulation while millions died because of its products, writes reviewer Felicity Lawrence. Milov adds a nuanced account of how the United States government turned tobacco merchant to boost the industry. Nature | 6 min read

[image: Alec Opperman] Alec Opperman Follow Aug 29 · 8 min read *By Alec Opperman and Jeanette Moreland* That Adolf Hitler is a focal point for political rhetoric is taken for granted in the United States. There’s an internet law about it, and drawing stubby mustaches on pictures of the president has been an American pastime since at least George W. Bush. Whether any of these comparisons are apt or misguided is beside the point. Hitler is a favorite talking point for pundits of all po... mais »

World Social Forum
Farewell to the World Social Forum? *By Roberto Savio** * Opening reflections for the September 2019 GTN forum* * LOOKING BACK* The first World Social Forum in 2001 ushered in the new century with a bold affirmation: “Another world is possible.” That gathering in Porto Alegre, Brazil, stood as an alternative and a challenge to the World Economic Forum, held at the same time an ocean away in the snowy Alps of Davos, Switzerland. A venue for power elites to set the course of world development, the WEF was then, and remains now, the symbol for global finance, unchecked capitalism, and th... mais »
Nobel Prize
We’ve looked at over 100 years of data behind who and what wins the Nobel prize Since 1901, the Nobel foundation has awarded its annual prizes for chemistry, physics and medicine/physiology to up to three scientists. 604 different scientists have won the prize (some of them twice, like Marie Skłodowska Curie, John Bardeen and Fred Sanger). We’ve taken a look at some of the data behind those 604 people and their prize-winning work – how long do laureates wait between publishing their work and winning the prize? How many citations do those papers gather? And where did the laureates li... mais »
RNA bases lab-made
Lab-made soup yields RNA bases Organic chemists have created in the lab the nucleobases, adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine — known as A, U, C and G — that could have served as the building blocks of RNA on an early Earth. The team put basic molecules through a series of conditions that could have existed way back when — cycling them from wet to dry, from hot to cold, and from acidic to basic, with chemicals occasionally flowing between two ponds. The results add credence to the idea that life arose from self-replicating, RNA-based genes before organisms developed the ability to s... mais »

Language
Why language is humanity's greatest invention Civilization rests upon the existence of language, says language creator David Peterson. In a talk that's equal parts passionate and hilarious, he shows how studying, preserving and inventing new languages helps us understand our collective humanity -- and gives a quick lesson on High Valyrian, one of two languages he created for "Game of Thrones" (along with Dothraki).
Nosso colega Valério me fez lembrar de nossa comemoração dos 50 anos, lá em Canela. No jantar no restaurante de Gramado, você fez uma linda declaração de apreço e amor a Valderes que a todos nos tocou. Mexendo nos meus arquivos, quase nunca muito em ordem, encontrei uma foto da turma por ocasião da formatura e um levantamento feito pelo Klaus sobre a situação em que estávamos em 2010. Agora, já deve estar bem diferente, quase dez anos depois.SITUAÇÃO DEMOGRÁFICA DOS INTEGRANTES DA ATM 6º POR OCASIÃO DA COMEMORAÇÃO DO SEU CINQUENTENÁRIO DE FORMATURA NA CIDADE DE CANELA EM 2010
