A ler. Comentarios de (ex?) intervenientes...

Falar de ciência, cultura e inovação com cortes em pano de fundo “Não houve por aí um sítio onde o número de estudantes de doutoramento caiu 40%?” A pergunta, irónica, veio do biólogo britânico Paul Nurse, prémio Nobel da Medicina e presidente da Royal Society, durante a palestra, intitulada “Fazer funcionar a ciência”, que proferiu na sexta-feira na Universidade de Lisboa (UL).

Pertinente e de ler.

Ciências sociais lançadas ao inferno Talvez tenha sido Diogo Ramada Curto, investigador integrado no Centro de Estudos de Sociologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, a lançar o mote num artigo publicado nas páginas do PÚBLICO: “Este ano, o Inverno chegou à investigação das humanidades e ciências sociais com a força de uma hecatombe.” Hecatombe é palavra usada por cientistas sociais de norte a sul do país.

Astronomers Get First Glimpse of Cosmic Web http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2014/01/19/astronomers-get-first-glimpse-of-cosmic-web/

Computer simulations suggest that matter in the universe is distributed in a "cosmic web" of filaments, as seen in the image above from a large-scale dark-matter simulation (Bolshoi simulation, by Anatoly Klypin and Joel Primack). The inset is a zoomed-in, high-resolution image of a smaller part of the cosmic web, 10 million light-years across, from a simulation that includes gas as well as dark matter (credit: S. Cantalupo). The intense radiation from a quasar can, like a flashlight, illuminate part of the surrounding cosmic web (highlighted in the image) and make a filament of gas glow, as was observed in the case of quasar UM287.
