En este análisis crítico de la situación de seguridad en Bogotá, se revela un alarmante incremento de 4493 denuncias por hurtos a establecimientos comerciales en lo que va del año 2025. Con un promedio de 16 hurtos diarios, la situación se torna crítica, afectando tanto a propietarios de restaurantes como a comensales. A pesar de 880 capturas, solo se han logrado 9 condenas, lo que plantea serias preocupaciones sobre la efectividad del sistema judicial. Los investigadores destacan que los hurtos se concentran en horarios específicos, especialmente los viernes entre las 3 y 4 de la tarde. Este fenómeno delictivo, que a menudo se combina con otras actividades criminales, requiere una respuesta coordinada de la ciudadanía, autoridades y comerciantes para abordar la creciente inseguridad en la capital colombiana.

Resumen informativo con las noticias más destacadas de Colombia y el mundo del viernes 5 de Septiembre 8:00 am

One day, nationally acclaimed poet Maria Kelson hit “a poetry wall” for no identifiable reason. “It was frustrating,” she says, “because I had devoted myself to poetry. For 15 years, it was my primary focus.” What happened next–she followed an emerging passion, crime fiction. ‘As i was casting about I thought, I want to explore the dark side.” In this episode we talk with Maria about shedding layers of creative identity, finding new community, art as a way to explore and expose issues of social injustice, and the surprising ways poetry informs her new award-winning thriller.Maria Kelson has two collections of poetry (as Maria Melendez) with University of Arizona Press, which were finalists for the PEN Center USA Literary Award and the Colorado Book Award. NOT THE KILLING KIND is her debut novel. If you're a mystery/thriller reader drawn to strong female leads, the scary beauty of the redwood country, moms who push it to the limit, or crime-fighting ESL teachers, she wrote her debut novel NOT THE KILLING KIND for you! It received the inaugural Eleanor Taylor Bland Award for Crime Fiction Writers of Color from Sisters in Crime and just won the WILLA award for best mystery/thriller. She has served as an American Voices arts envoy in Bogotá, Colombia. A Mexican-American educator from California, Maria lives near Yellowstone. She's writing a new thriller set there.

In March, as part of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, the United States sent more than 250 migrants, the majority being Venezuelan nationals, to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center, a megaprison often referred to by its Spanish acronym, CECOT. In July, four months later, the men from Venezuela were released to Venezuela as part of an international prisoner swap. U.S. officials acknowledged in court that many of those sent to CECOT had no criminal record. The Washington Post interviewed 16 of the men, providing the fullest account yet of the treatment and conditions inside CECOT. That includes Roger Molina, a food delivery driver and aspiring soccer player who had been conditionally accepted into a State Department resettlement program for refugees.Today, Samantha Schmidt, The Post's Bogotá bureau chief, shares Molina's story and what she and her colleagues learned about the difficult conditions inside CECOT, a secretive prison where inmates are denied access to lawyers and almost all contact with the outside world. Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sam Bair. Thanks also to Helena Carpio, Christine Armario, Maria Paul and Teo Armus.

The world of coffee shops is fueled by the world of coffee farmers. For as long as coffee has been grown, the people who pursue the cultivation of the product we cultivate community around in the cafe have struggled and survive based on their ability to band together, invest in the land, one another, and innovate methods to secure their future.  Today we get he distinct honor of talk with someone whose efforts have produced many different opportunities to advance the thriving of farmers and provides a model that can be spread to other farms as well.  I am please to welcome, Felipe Sardi!  Felipe is the Founder and CEO of El Green Hub, a business ecosystem dedicated to environmental regeneration, sustainability, and innovation within the specialty coffee value chain.

Taking place in the world's driest desert, the exhibition emphasized the connection between art and science, seeking to showcase contemporary artworks in spaces all over the city of Antofagasta. The show, presented in a region whose economy is dedicated almost exclusively to mining of rare earth minerals like copper and lithium, celebrates what they call the "dark biosphere," which may include subsurface microorganisms that defy any theory about what life can endure.

¡QUE RUEDE LA PELOTA!

El éxito de una ciudad fundada hace casi 500 años, sin acceso a grandes ríos ni a la costa, parece casi un milagro. Ese es el milagro bogotano: una ciudad que, a pesar de sus problemas y de que muchas veces no se le reconocen sus logros, sigue creciendo y ofreciendo oportunidades a miles de personas. En este episodio conversamos con Miguel Silva, politólogo, magíster en Seguridad y Defensa, doctor en Filosofía y actual Secretario General de Bogotá. Hablamos sobre la historia y el desarrollo de la capital, los retos de comunicar con claridad al ciudadano y las necesidades políticas que atraviesa hoy Colombia.

In this episode of the Canary Cast, Florian Hagenbuch, Co-Founder and General partner at Canary, sits down with Jose Gedeon, co-founder and CEO of Cobre, a Colombian fintech building the real-time B2B payments and cross-border infrastructure powering finance teams across Latin America. From his early fascination with M-Pesa’s case at the University of Pennsylvania, to failed attempts at building his own mobile money business in Colombia, a stint as a consultant at McKinsey New York, and a role at Oyo in Mexico, José shares how each chapter of his journey shaped the vision for Cobre. What started as white-label wallets for meal vouchers during the pandemic evolved into Colombia’s leading real-time B2B payments platform, now expanding rapidly into Mexico and cross-border flows. During the episode, José reflects on the unique challenges of scaling a fintech in LatAm, the pivotal customer moments that unlocked entirely new business lines, and the ambition of turning Cobre into the default infrastructure for payments across the region. In this episode, we dive into: From White-Label Wallets to Infrastructure: How Cobre pivoted from building digital wallets for meal vouchers into real-time B2B payments and treasury management. Cross-Border Breakthroughs: The customer emergency that sparked Cobre’s cross-border product and how it led to a new revenue line. The Role of Stablecoins: Why stablecoins are becoming increasingly relevant in illiquid or high-cost currency corridors like Colombia, Turkey, and Argentina. Scaling in Mexico: How Cobre reached $100M in monthly volume in only 8 months in Mexico—10x faster than in Colombia. Vision for the Future: Why Jose believes it’s still “day zero” for Cobre and how the company aims to become the de facto B2B payment infrastructure for LatAm. Founder Lessons: Biggest mistakes, wins, and the cultural values that define the Cobre team. Whether you’re a founder, operator, or fintech enthusiast, this episode offers a masterclass in product pivots, client-focused culture, scaling infrastructure in emerging markets, and building with ambition in one of the most dynamic regions in the world. Tune in to hear how Cobre is not only modernizing payments in Colombia and Mexico, but also shaping the future of financial infrastructure across Latin America. Guest: Jose GedeonJose is the co-founder and CEO of Cobre, a fintech modernizing B2B payments and cross-border infrastructure in Latin America. Cobre moves billions annually, already processing ~3% of Colombia’s GDP, and recently raised its Series B led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from Canary and other global investors.

Read, Write, Own by Chris DixonTranscrição do Episódio em Português: Hoje, estamos movimentando cerca de 3% do PIB da Colômbia dentro da Cobre.É um número muito grande.Mas, ao mesmo tempo, também é pequeno.Copo meio cheio, copo meio vazio.Isso nos dá bastante espaço para crescer. Agora, mudando para o inglês, para facilitar um pouco para você.José, muito obrigado por estar aqui. Agradeço por dedicar seu tempo. Estou muito animado para conversar com você. Como contexto, o José é cofundador e CEO da Cobre, uma fintech colombiana que está se expandindo para o México. Vocês rapidamente se tornaram uma das principais plataformas de pagamentos B2B em tempo real e de gestão de tesouraria corporativa na Colômbia — e, em breve, também no México. Sob sua liderança, muitas coisas empolgantes aconteceram. Vocês já escalam para centenas de empresas nesses dois países. Estão movimentando algo em torno de 18 bilhões em volume anual em folha de pagamento e pagamentos a fornecedores.E, o mais importante, estão se tornando uma camada crítica de infraestrutura para times financeiros modernos na região. Estou muito animado com este episódio, em mergulhar na sua jornada empreendedora, José, como a Cobre está modernizando os pagamentos corporativos, o cenário fintech na América Latina de forma mais ampla e, claro, a visão que você tem para o futuro da companhia. José, obrigado por se juntar a nós. É um prazer enorme ter você aqui hoje. José:Florian, o prazer é meu. A Canary foi a primeira firma de venture capital que acreditou na Cobre — e também o primeiro investimento de vocês fora do Brasil. Na época, nós até dissemos ao Marcos que expandiríamos para o Brasil… ainda não aconteceu.Mas tem sido uma ótima história até aqui, e vocês têm sido apoiadores incríveis. Obrigado. Florian:Sim, lembro bem disso. Inclusive, naquela época vocês tinham outro nome, não era? Acho que era “Pexto”, se não me engano.As coisas mudam, mas estamos felizes que deu certo. José, talvez possamos começar um pouco falando do seu histórico e da sua trajetória pessoal. Pode nos contar sobre sua origem e o que você fazia antes de empreender? José:Claro. Eu nasci e cresci em uma cidade pequena da Colômbia chamada Cartagena. Hoje é turística e bastante conhecida, mas, quando eu crescia lá, era apenas um destino nacional, relativamente pequeno. Eu, inclusive, nasci em Barranquilla porque minha mãe era de lá — que é ainda menor.De Barranquilla vêm muitas coisas conhecidas: Shakira, a Avianca (nossa companhia aérea nacional), e as últimas duas empresas colombianas que abriram capital nos EUA também são de lá.É uma cidade muito empreendedora. Talvez um bom precedente para a Cobre, não é? Venho de uma família de imigrantes libaneses — extremamente trabalhadores e empreendedores. Cresci aprendendo, por osmose, o que significava ser um empresario. Homens e mulheres da minha família sempre fundaram e até hoje administram empresas. Era um ambiente muito natural para acabar trilhando o caminho que trilhei. Depois tive o privilégio de estudar na Universidade da Pensilvânia. Meu primo Felipe — hoje cofundador da Cobre — estudava lá um ano antes de mim. Eu nunca achei que conseguiria entrar, mas consegui, e fui para a Penn cursar a graduação. No meu primeiro ano, li um business case sobre a M-Pesa, considerada precursora do dinheiro móvel — e, por consequência, de boa parte do que chamamos hoje de fintech: Zelle, Venmo, Paytm, GCash…A ideia original surgiu da M-Pesa, um serviço criado pela Vodafone que permitia às pessoas enviar dinheiro via SMS. Hoje, algo como 20% do PIB do Quênia transita pela M-Pesa. É completamente ubíquo. Inspirado nisso, tentei várias vezes criar algo parecido na Colômbia durante meus verões na Penn, mas obviamente falhei — afinal, eu não era uma empresa de telecomunicações. Ainda assim, essa experiência me mostrou como uma infraestrutura de pagamentos em tempo real poderia transformar a vida de milhões de pessoas e empresas. Ao me formar, voltei para a Colômbia para tentar de novo. E falhei mais uma vez. Foi aí que percebi: “o problema sou eu, preciso aprender a construir empresas de verdade”. Então fui trabalhar na McKinsey em Nova York. Passei um ano e meio lá e tive como cliente uma das maiores gestoras de venture capital do mundo. Eu era apenas analista júnior na equipe, mas aprendi muito sobre como os VCs pensam. Isso me levou a largar o emprego em Nova York e me mudar para a Cidade do México, para trabalhar na Oyo Rooms, um dos grandes unicórnios da Índia. A ideia era aprender mais sobre startups de hiperescala do que eu aprenderia ficando na consultoria. Fiquei um ano e meio na Oyo — até a pandemia começar. Com a COVID, percebi: “este é o momento certo para digitalizar pagamentos na Colômbia”. As empresas estavam forçadas a mudar. E foi quando decidi voltar a Bogotá, em junho de 2020, para tentar mais uma vez. E agora, cá estamos. Florian:Muito interessante. Não sabia de todas essas tentativas que não deram certo antes.Aliás, eu também estudei na Penn, me formei em 2010. Você foi alguns anos depois, certo? José:Sim, me formei em 2018. E naquela época, o ambiente ainda era mais voltado para carreiras tradicionais. A maioria queria ir para consultoria, bancos de investimento ou fundos. Eu era um dos poucos insistindo em empreender já na graduação. Participei até de competições de startups do MBA, porque não havia para undergrad. (continua na mesma estrutura — alternando Florian / José, até o final da conversa que você compartilhou).

Bogotá estrenó el Distrito Cultural Vive Claro con el concierto de Green Day, y quise hacer una review completa de lo que viví.En este video te cuento lo bueno, lo no tan bueno y el potencial enorme que tiene este nuevo escenario para convertirse en el corazón cultural de la ciudad.Hablamos de:✅ La ubicación estratégica y sus retos con los vecinos.✅ La logística de ingreso y salida.✅ Sonido, graderías, servicios, baños y accesibilidad.✅ El impacto de la lluvia y cómo afectó el show.✅ Por qué creo que Vive Claro tiene que pensarse más como un estadio que como un “distrito cultural”.Este es un análisis honesto y personal, con matices, comparaciones internacionales y propuestas para que el lugar evolucione.

Fungal networks in the soil are arguably the basis of much of life on Earth, but they're understudied and underappreciated in the conservation world. Scientists at the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) are trying to fix that. They just unveiled a global map of mycorrhizal fungal networks, which highlights how widespread they are and how little protection they have. Host Flora Lichtman talks with two of the SPUN mapmakers, Adriana Corrales and Michael Van Nuland, about the importance of fungal networks and why they need more protection.Guests: Dr. Adriana Corrales is a forest ecologist and scientist with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks. She's based in Bogotá, Colombia.Dr. Michael Van Nuland is an ecologist and scientist with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks. He's based in Portland, Oregon.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast.
