BEETHOVEN – ROMANCE OP. 40 (guitar & orchestra – English text below)
Em 10/03/2021 ocorrerá um lançamento duplamente inédito: a primeira gravação mundial do Romance op. 40, de L. van Beethoven, na versão para violão arranjada e interpretada por Daniel Wolff, e a estreia nas plataformas de streaming da Orquestra do Instituto de Artes da UFRGS, com regência de Carlos Völker-Fecher. O projeto foi idealizado e gravado durante a pandemia de Covid-19, demonstrando que a força cooperativa dos artistas pode render belos frutos mesmo em condições adversas. No link acima, você pode fazer gratuitamente o pre-save na sua plataforma preferida e, no dia 10, o Romance op. 40 aparecerá automaticamente em sua coleção de músicas.

*Mensagem da Dra. Nadine - Presidente do Hospital de Clínicas*
Gente
POA está colapsada.
Começam a faltar ventiladores.
A BP decretada e felizmente estendida pelo Estado ainda nos parece conter medidas brandas - isto pode ser insuficiente p conter a ferocidade da doença. 
Isto pode, perversamente, dar argumentos a ideias contrárias ao distanciamento, etc
Meu ponto - é preciso clamar por medidas MAIS rígidas! Tipo o que aconteceu em Portugal e tb em BH neste final de semana decretada pelo Prefeito.
Nao sou boa em midias sociais e nao quero pregar aqui p convertidos (frase do Jaderson). - mas é preciso chegar na sociedade toda e no poder público em todos os níveis p termos uma mensagem UNICA e livre de ideologias.

Que prevaleça a ciência p salvar vidas!

Recent video on evolution and Earth history

In this NGSS-aligned video appropriate for grades 3-12, produced by the California Academy of Sciences, botanist Dr. Nathalie Nagalingum explains how, more than 400 million years ago, early plants played a notable role in adjusting Earth's physical surface as well as our planet's climate. She meets with paleobotanist Dr. Cindy Looy to discuss the evidence that scientists currently have to support her story. Access the video here.

Durable memories and efficient neural coding through mnemonic training using the method of loci

Science Advances  03 Mar 2021:

Vol. 7, no. 10, eabc7606

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abc7606

Abstract
Mnemonic techniques, such as the method of loci, can powerfully boost memory. We compared memory athletes ranked among the world’s top 50 in memory sports to mnemonics-naïve controls. In a second study, participants completed a 6-week memory training, working memory training, or no intervention. Behaviorally, memory training enhanced durable, longer-lasting memories. Functional magnetic resonance imaging during encoding and recognition revealed task-based activation decreases in lateral prefrontal, as well as in parahippocampal and retrosplenial cortices in both memory athletes and participants after memory training, partly associated with better performance after 4 months. This was complemented by hippocampal-neocortical coupling during consolidation, which was stronger the more durable memories participants formed. Our findings advance knowledge on how mnemonic training boosts durable memory formation through decreased task-based activation and increased consolidation thereafter. This is in line with conceptual accounts of neural efficiency and highlights a complex interplay of neural processes critical for extraordinary memory.

If you think it’s just three quarks held together by gluons, you’ll want to read this.

The three valence quarks of a proton contribute to its spin, but so do the gluons, sea quarks and antiquarks, and orbital angular momentum as well. The electrostatic repulsion and the attractive strong nuclear force, in tandem, are what give the proton its size, and the properties of quark mixing are required to explain the suite of free and composite particles in our Universe. Individual protons, overall, behave as fermions, not as bosons. (APS/ALAN STONEBRAKER)
At a fundamental level, the Universe is composed of indivisible particles.

From macroscopic scales down to subatomic ones, the sizes of the fundamental particles play only a small role in determining the sizes of composite structures. Whether the building blocks are truly fundamental and/or point-like particles is still not known, but we do understand the Universe from large, cosmic scales down to tiny, subatomic ones. There are nearly 1⁰²⁸ atoms making up each human body, in total. (MAGDALENA KOWALSKA / CERN / ISOLDE TEAM)

Every structure contains “uncuttable” constituents that cannot be divided further.

The New History
of the Milky Way


Podcast produced by SUSAN VALOT; Story by CHARLIE WOOD


Ancient people perceived the trail of stars and dust in the night sky as the embers of a campfire, a cloud-eating shark and a stream of milk. Astronomers are now telling their own story about the origins and constituents of our Milky Way galaxy.
