Captured today: a fallstreak hole, formed when supercooled droplets suddenly freeze within a cloud layer. A striking example of atmospheric microphysics relevant to climatology and physical geography. #Meteorology #Weather #Atmosphere #Clouds #Science #Portugal

Presented my research on Portuguese border regions at the XV Geography Congress. Strong debate on socio-spatial inequalities, cross-border governance and INTERREG/POCTEP. Grateful for the engagement and insights. #CrossBorderRegions #TerritorialCohesion #Interreg #POCTEP #PropositiveGeography

See you in Évora this November! My abstract “Border regions in Portugal: spatial inequalities and contributions to a propositional geography” was accepted without revisions for the XV Portuguese Geography Congress (Nov 19–21, 2025). #SpatialJustice #BorderRegions #PublicPolicy

So nice to see Professor Mathias Senge’s post with my photo of Liam and Sophie. I’m always happy when my photos help share moments and memories. Thank you for acknowledging that too, @mathiassenge.bsky.social.

Covering the Tetrapyrrole Discussion Group Meeting (TPDG), Sept 11–12 2025, organized by Humboldt-University of Berlin. Enjoying two days of insightful presentations, exchanges and photos capturing the atmosphere. 🔗 physik.hu-berlin.de/tpdg-meeting #TPDG2025 #Science #Berlin

Day 1 of the 21st ESP Congress in 376 photos (1.7 GB)! A tiny tech hiccup held them back today, but they’ll be online shortly. Moments, smiles, science, all captured! #ESPCongress2025 #Photobiology

Last day of the 21st ESP Congress. That bittersweet feeling already arrives as we part from colleagues and friends. Closing with an inspiring Keynote by Prof. Franz Trautinger “Photodermatology – Quo Vadis?” Knowing the past is essential to shaping the future. #ESPCongress2025 #Photobiology

Thank you to all of the attendees of the Gala Dinner of the #ESPCongress2025!!! What an amazing night celebrating #photobiology and friendship!!! ...and....you look fantastic! 📷 @josemgpereira.bsky.social

The 4th Plenary Speaker is Prof. Roberta Croce, opening Day 4 of 21st Congress of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP) with her lecture “Photosynthesis in the Far-Red: From Cyanobacteria to Plants”. What a wonderful program this Congress is offering! #ESPCongress2025

The fastest man of the #ESPcongress2025

Nobel Lecture at #ESPCongress2025: Prof. Martin Chalfie shared his journey in science and offered inspiring reading recommendations. A privilege to learn from a Nobel laureate!

🌅 August 27 began in the best way, with the young community gathering for the 2nd Junior ESP Breakfast. This event was a great example of how new ideas and energy can strengthen our scientific community — a true inspiration for the future!! #ESPCongress2025

New day at 21st Congress of the European Society for Photobiology… starting with the Plenary Lecture by Sherri McFarland presenting “Molecules to Medicine: Multidisciplinary Integration of the Photosciences with Metal Complexes”. #ESPCongress2025 #Photobiology

Thank you very much to all speakers! The symposium, #PDT and #immunotherapy of #cancer, went very well with around 100 attendees. #ESPCongress2025 Dimitri Krysko, Lígia Catarina Gomes da Silva, Odrun Gederaas, Kaitlyn Moore, Arno Bruel, Brian Schnoor, Cristina Dias and Angeles Juarranz

Everything is ready for the Effectiveness Program at the 21st Congress of the European Society for Photobiology, taking place in Bari, Italy, August 24–28, 2025. bari2025.photobiology.eu/general-sche... #Photobiology #ESPCongress2025

In Portugal’s low-density areas, the 39 border municipalities with Spain are often overlooked. For me, they will be a true research treasure: peripheries that may become central to rethinking territorial cohesion. #BorderRegions #TerritorialCohesion #PublicPolicies

I’m truly honoured to serve again as the official photographer for the 21st Congress of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP), in Bari, Italy. I look forward to capturing the scientific highlights and human moments that make this congress so memorable! Photo credit: ESP website photobiology.eu

At the 32nd APDR Congress I voiced concerns as a geographer and citizen. Recent words on wildfires and a Público piece on populism highlight the urgency of rethinking Portugal’s low-density territories, like border regions. Research must help switch on new lights. #TerritorialCohesion #BorderRegions

Today, I had the privilege of presenting at the 32nd International Congress APDR our work on “Dilemmas in Portuguese border regions: local governance, sustainability, and territorial cohesion”, co-authored with Domingos Santos and João Lourenço Marques. www.linkedin.com/posts/jose-m... #apdr

Smart Specialisation Strategies demand regional coordination, vision and commitment. Brilliant insights today at Fórum de Políticas Públicas 2025 with top-level governance and technical excellence. #FPP2025 #PublicPolicy #S3 #Portugal

At Fórum de Políticas Públicas 2025, Renato Miguel do Carmo brilliantly addressed socio-territorial inequalities and the persistence of dualisms in Portugal. The emergence of a “third spatiality” calls for smarter, fairer public action. #TerritorialCohesion #ISCTE #PolicyForum

At Fórum de Políticas Públicas 2025, powerful reflections on local governance, decentralization & housing. A key moment to rethink public action & territorial cohesion in Portugal. 📍 Lisbon 🔗 ipps.iscte-iul.pt/pt/divulgaca... #PublicPolicy #LocalGov #ISCTE

After the talks, the debate opened to the floor. Crossed ideas, launched doubts, thoughtful silences. BEIRA OUTONO ends as any space of reflection should: with questions that remain and calls for action — from inertia to assertive political engagement at all levels. #Debate #Ideologies #BEIRAOutono

At the School of Health in Viseu, Miguel Poiares Maduro opened the BEIRA Observatory conference with a brilliant talk. Democracy, ideologies, and populism at the core. When politics fails to represent, populism fills the gap. #Democracy #PublicPolicy #Populism

🌍 Border Territories & Cohesion 🌍 Border regions face low population, economic disarticulation & weak public services. In my PhD at @UAveiro, I'm studying how to strengthen their cohesion & competitiveness. How can we revitalize them? Let’s talk! 👇 #PublicPolicy #TerritorialCohesion #BorderRegions
