Ministério do Meio Ambiente se posiciona contra o PL da Devastação. Pena que é uma voz solitária na Esplanada de um governo que se elegeu prometendo transversalidade nas questões ambientais. www.gov.br/mma/pt-br/no...

‼️ALERTA! AMEAÇA CONTRA O LICENCIAMENTO AMBIENTAL ESTÁ AINDA MAIOR! O PL da Devastação já foi APROVADO na Comissão do Meio Ambiente e Comissão de Agricultura do Senado. Agora, está nas mãos do Plenário barrar o mais radical projeto de desmonte do licenciamento ambiental no Brasil.

💬 ENTREVISTA | Em entrevista à Agência Pública, Suely Araújo, que presidiu o Ibama entre 2016 e 2018, analisou alguns dos pontos que considera mais problemáticos da Lei Geral do Licenciamento Ambiental, conhecido como “PL da Devastação”. apublica.org/2025/05/pl-d...

@senado.leg.br Muito triste ver o desmonte da legislação ambiental no Brasil. Na prática, o Estado será responsável pelos custos socioambientais de projetos de médio e pequeno impacto. Quem pagará somos nós, sem nenhuma limitação de custo.

Working with multiple migratory bird species, I find myself guilty of the most human of sins: that of expecting nature to fit into human-made categories and classification schemes. #horatiofeelings #phdchatter #hamlet #science #pursuits

Who would have thought that detecting plasma in the ionosphere and detecting migratory birds would be two very similar problems? Also, the figures I wish I had made, but couldn't. #radarornithology #radarscience #thingsthatmakeyougohm

#LongCovidAwareness should be about accepting that science and technology have very real limits. It would be dangerous to assume otherwise. "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in [our] philosophy". Like most things worth thinking about, this is both scary and fascinating.

I've also learned that we are many. I completely reject the idea that we have one identity or personality that we carry with us throughout our lives. We are like the river. The water flows through us, but we don't own it. We are just the space in which it flows. 3/4

The past two years have been very hard, but they weren't bad years. I see all the shades of grey now. I see how beautiful and painful everything is, and I accept that things can be both at the same time. 2/4

#LongCovidAwarenessDay This week marks five years since the first COVID case. The language used by the media conveys joy over what we overcame. I agree: there is a lot to celebrate. But I also felt sad when I realized that this chapter of my life is not over, like it is for most people. 1/4

Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice.

I lived in Belém for 5 years and getting into or out of the city was always terrible; the proposal of this road as the solution predates COP e.g. oeco.org.br/reportagens/... but that doesn't make it any less of a tragedy and is unlikely to solve the problem.

My backyard is frequently visited by a beautiful black cat with green eyes. I was out eating my afternoon snack and the cat tried to grab one of my squirrel neighbors. I scolded him/her in Portuguese. The "WTF are you ranting about, you meaningless minion?" reaction of the cat was simply priceless.
