Rethinking Scientific Publishing: A Call for Change
Scientific publishing lies at the core of academic life. It is the main mechanism through which knowledge is shared, careers are built, and progress is evaluated. However, this system has evolved i…

Why do endotherms spend so much energy? Juan G. Rubalcaba describes a theoretical model that shows that species followed one of two possible evolutionary patches: live fast while spending a lot, or live slowly and keep your costs low. Read now!

The Evolution of Homeothermic Endothermy via Life History Optimization | The American Naturalist
Abstract Endothermy is an energetically expensive trait, yet it has posed an evolutionary advantage across different lineages—a paradox that remains puzzling to biologists. Here, I investigate whether...

Se ha filtrado el borrador de ley de universidades que está preparando la CAM. Si se aprueba, será la muerte de la universidad pública madrileña. Es escandaloso. No exagero. Se vienen tiempos oscuros como no espabilemos. Explico algunos puntos críticos. Va hilo. 👇
