En el corazón de Sudamérica, una lengua ancestral se reinventa al ritmo del beat. El guaraní, hablado por millones y cargado de historia, hoy también suena en clave de rap. Desde las aldeas de Misiones hasta los barrios de Asunción, jóvenes raperos lo convierten en poesía, resistencia y futuro. En Europa, todavía hay quienes piensan que los pueblos indígenas de América fueron exterminados durante la colonización. Pero la verdad es completamente diferente: millones sobreviven. Luchando. Resistiendo.  Y con ellos, sus culturas. Sus lenguas. Una de esas lenguas es el guaraní. Tan importante para América del Sur -y para la ciencia- como lo fueron el latín o el griego. De hecho, después de estos, el guaraní es el idioma más utilizado en la nomenclatura científica internacional para referirse a animales y plantas. Se habla a diario en millones de hogares de Paraguay, en el sur de Brasil, en Bolivia y en el norte de Argentina. Pero es en Paraguay donde su fuerza es mayor. Allí, lo hablan seis millones y medio de personas y se escucha tanto —o más— que el castellano. Palabras como mburucuyá, yaguareté o tucán vienen del guaraní. En este país tanto el español como el guaraní son lenguas oficiales. Se usan en el Senado, en los supermercados, en los medios, en los memes. En la tele, en la calle y en casa. Tiene literatura escrita desde hace siglos. Y sí, también tiene rap. ¿Cómo suena el guaraní cuando se sube a una base de trap? ¿Cómo se convierte en arma de identidad? ¿En denuncia? ¿En poesía? Durante siglos, el guaraní y su antecesor cercano -el tupí-guaraní- recorrieron el continente de norte a sur, como los grandes ríos de Sudamérica. Del Caribe a la Amazonía. Del norte de Brasil al corazón del sur: Paraguay. Del corazón al beat Ananá. Caracú. Maraká. Urubú. Palabras que suenan familiares, que muchos usamos sin saber que son guaraníes.  En Brasil, urubú es el buitre. En Argentina, ananá es la piña. Caracú es el centro o el tuétano del hueso. Y es justamente en Argentina, en la aldea Mbororé, del pueblo mbya guaraní, donde comienza esta historia. Luis y Fabián tienen 24 y 26 años. Escucharon rap por primera vez en sus celulares. Veían a Porta, el rapero español, en YouTube o a los Bro MCs, raperos indígenas de Brasil. Así empezaron a rimar. En guaraní. El grupo se llama Hae kuera, ñande kuera. Ellos. Nosotros. “En realidad, nosotros decimos cosas verdaderas. Todo lo que está pasando nomás. La historia. Antes teníamos muchos más monte... Desde hace un tiempo entró gente de afuera, de la sociedad blanca. Entraron e invadieron nuestra selva. Con la motosierra, inclusive ahora mismo estamos escuchando la motosierra. Creo que está haciendo los tablones y eso porque venden todas las cosas y todas las movidas”, explica Luis a RFI. Están en la provincia de Misiones, muy cerca de la triple frontera entre Argentina, Brasil y Paraguay, donde resisten a la deforestación ilegal cuidando sus bosques como los galos Asterix y Obelix resistían a los romanos. El guaraní es una lengua aglutinante, polisintética, como el alemán. Puede expresar ideas complejas en una sola palabra. Tiene sonidos guturales, nasales, glotales… que no existen en español. Como 'y', que significa 'agua'; 'y guasu', 'agua gigante'. Así se llaman las cataratas del Iguazú. Las mismas que casi se escuchan desde la aldea de Luis y Fabián. Desde allí rapean su rabia, su dignidad. Mientras le visita RFI hace una humedad fresca, huele a selva y a tierra mojada. Ellos escriben junto a un arroyo, mientras su madre les prepara reviro: harina frita sobre leña. “Algunos dicen que los mbya solo quieren ayuda. Que no trabajan. Los políticos sobre todo dicen que nosotros siempre estamos pidiendo. Pero en realidad, no. Si no trabajáramos, no existiríamos hoy. Nosotros estamos en esa resistencia todos todavía. Estamos resistiendo todavía", prosigue Luis.  “La gente de la sociedad blanca a nosotros no les importamos. Al revés, les damos asco por nuestra piel. Porque somos mbya. Que sé yo, hay mucho prejuicio. No podemos salir y caminar tranquilos en la ciudad. Hay mucho odio. Mucha rabia. Mucho prejuicio”, prosigue.  Vivir la vida buscando plenitud Del otro lado del Paraná, a las afueras de Asunción, Paraguay, una calle de piedras y un caminito de tierra roja nos lleva lleva hasta la bella casa de Conan y Miguel, artistas del colectivo Tekovete. Ella pinta murales. Él escribe y rapea. Juntos hacen poesía en guaraní. Y como ellos, muchos jóvenes encuentran en su lengua materna una llave. Una que abre otras puertas. Así lo cuenta Miguel: “'Tekovete' sería desenfocar la palabra hacia la vida en plenitud. Es ser uno mismo, vivir en plenitud. 'Tekove' es 'vida'. 'Teko' es la 'forma de vivir'. Y 'ete' viene de 'verdadero'. Lo que es real, lo que es auténtico. Entonces 'Tekovete' es 'vivir la vida en esa búsqueda de plenitud siendo uno mismo'”. “De eso se trata la plenitud, el poder de contemplación, de estar en un sitio, de compartir, de sentarse en una ronda, tomar un tereré, estar en una ronda del brasero contando en nuestras vivencias, nuestras historias Conan continua: “De eso se trata la plenitud, el poder de contemplación, de estar en un sitio, de compartir, de sentarse en una ronda, tomar un tereré, estar en una ronda del brasero contando en nuestras vivencias, nuestras historias. Antes, por ejemplo, las familias paraguayas se reunían y contaban el famoso caso ñemonbeú, que es como anécdotas de su vida y  veces también con un poco de fábula, como para darle también emoción al cuento. Yo creo que todo eso ese 'Tekovete' tiene mucho que ver con eso con el trovador, el que te cuenta las historias”.  Tekovete hace rap urbano, nacido en la periferia, con historias que hablan de su barrio, de su generación. Sin parar de mutar. Como el propio guaraní, que en Paraguay muchas veces se habla mezclado con el español. Esa fusión se llama jopara. “Vos sabes que antes de hacer rap yo no me sentía representado con lo que escuchaba, con lo que decía, la manera que decían -explica Miguel-. Entonces yo le decía a Conan, yo voy a rapear en guaraní. Voy a hacer temas de que hablen justamente de esos momentos, de nuestro entorno, de cómo vemos nuestra realidad. Tekovete como proyecto es eso, es comentar esos pequeños detalles, que muchas veces no vemos. Es narrar la realidad de nuestras propias vivencias, siendo parte de eso". Hay que cuidar mucho la palabra, porque para los guaraníes originarios la palabra es sagrada "Gracias a esa necesidad de reivindicar, no reivindicar, fortalecer el guaraní,  porque sí, todavía hasta ahora está entre nosotros, pero representarlo de una manera bien estudiada también. Porque hay que cuidar mucho la palabra, porque para los guaraníes originarios la palabra es sagrada. Entonces también Tekovete trata de mantener ese respeto y cuidado hacia la palabra”, aclara.  En la inmensa mayoría de las familias y escuelas son las mujeres -abuelas, madres- quienes transmiten el guaraní. “Sabiendo que hay un poder en la palabra que es el guaraní, que los paraguayos tenemos esa grandiosa herencia maternal y llevamos con nosotros, entonces esa necesidad de poder mostrarle al mundo lo que se puede hacer con el guaraní, que el rap en guaraní puede sonar tan bueno y con tanto estilo y con tanto flow como pueden sonar un rap en Estados Unidos, en Chile, en Perú, en Alemania, sea el idioma que sea", zanja Miguel. Hoy, jóvenes paraguayos y guaraní-hablantes como Miguel y Conan están llevando ese legado a las redes. como TikTok, Instagram o YouTube. Ahí enseñan guaraní, hacen chistes, doblajes, sketches bilingües. Creatividad pura, en dos lenguas que a veces son una. Hay más. Mucho más. El guaraní se canta desde hace mucho en forma de guarania y jahe'o, músicas nacidas en Paraguay y que pocos conocen fuera. Hay hasta blues y hevy metal en guaraní. Incluso Mafalda ha sido traducida a esta lengua. Os invitamos a no dejar de escucharla. A veces está más cerca de lo que crees. En el subte en Buenos Aires, en la Sorbona de París o en un mercado de Madrid, ahí se escucha guaraní.

Kate Adie introduces stories from China, Kenya, Australia, Bolivia and the USA.Sichuan province in China is home to a long-standing Tibetan resistance movement. While Beijing views Tibet as an integral part of China – the allegiances of many Tibetans living in China lie with its exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama - voicing support for him can lead to arrest or prison. Laura Bicker visited the town of Aba, where she met monks practicing their faith under heavy surveillance.Youth led protests erupted again in Kenya this week, with many young Kenyans angry at the lack of good job opportunities in the country - more than 30 people died in the demonstrations, and over 500 were arrested. Anne Soy has been following the story in Nairobi.The small Australian town of Morwell will be returning to some form of normality this week, following the conclusion of the trial of Erin Patterson who was found guilty of murdering three of her relatives and attempting to kill another after serving them Beef Wellington laced with toxic death cap mushrooms.

A Mission Born from the AmazonNicolas's journey began with a first-hand experience in Bolivia, where he witnessed the environmental impact of industrial meat production and deforestation. This planted the seed for a mission-driven career focused on sustainable food. After stints in both corporate and nonprofit sectors, he became convinced that cell-cultivated meat could offer a breakthrough solution - if it could deliver on taste, scale, and affordability.From Foie Gras to the Future of FoodInstead of competing immediately with commodity meats, Gourmey launched with cultivated foie gras - a premium, high-margin product that addressed a real market gap due to supply chain volatility and regulation. This choice allowed the company to prove the viability of its tech without having to undercut traditional meat prices from the outset. By addressing an underserved culinary segment, Gourmey established credibility with chefs and customers alike.Scaling with Purpose and PrecisionGourmey has raised over €60 million and grown to a team of 50+ people. Nicolas emphasized the importance of working with mission-aligned investors who understand the long road of deep tech development. With their latest cost analysis showing production prices as low as €5-€7 per kilo, the company is entering a new phase where cultivated meat could move beyond fine dining into broader markets. This opens the door to massive potential impact in the $2 trillion meat industry.Chefs, Consumers, and the Power of TasteConsumer acceptance is rising, even before widespread availability. Gourmey's strategy includes launching in forward-looking markets like Singapore and collaborating with Michelin-starred chefs to drive trust and desirability. Nicolas believes chefs are the ultimate tastemakers who can help shift public perception - from skepticism to curiosity - by letting flavor lead the way.What's Next: Global Expansion and Series BGourmey is currently raising a Series B round to fund its next milestones: regulatory approvals, commercialization in key global markets, and the expansion of its product range beyond foie gras and duck to other poultry and meat types. With a lean approach and efficient tech, the company aims to prove its model without the capital-heavy burden of massive infrastructure builds.

Con Jorge Pardo, director de la Escuela Museo de Origami Zaragoza (EMOZ), hablamos de "Origami Bolivia", la exposición nunca vista en Europa que se puede visitar hasta el 14 de septiembre en el Centro de Historias de Zaragoza. La diversidad cultural, geográfica y artística de Bolivia se recoge en la esencia de esta exposición, muy representativa de esa riqueza en manifestaciones como la música, la danza, los tejidos o la cerámica y que, en los últimos años, ha encontrado en el origami un nuevo lenguaje de creación y reflexión.

Summer means vacations, but getting out of town doesn't mean that our detectives can get away from murder and mayhem in these old time radio mysteries. Simon Templar finds multiple murders on a cruise ship in “Murder on the High Seas” from The Saint (originally aired on Mutual on September 18, 1949), and Richard Diamond and Lt. Levinson have a working vacation as they search for a missing man in Bolivia in Richard Diamond, Private Detective (originally aired on CBS on May 31, 1953). Mr. and Mrs. North plan a little getaway, but they have to stop a killer from making their own getaway in “No Vacation for Murder” (AFRS rebroadcast from September 1, 1953). And on a vacation in Maine, Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator finds a corpse in a haystack in “Hay is for Homicide” (originally aired on NBC on August 31, 1954).

Durante la cumbre semestral que se lleva a cabo en Buenos Aires, el Mercosur anunció que concluyó las negociaciones para un acuerdo con la Asociación Europea de Libre Comercio que incluye a Noruega, Suiza, Islandia y Liechtenstein. Las negociaciones empezaron en 2017, pero no fue sino hasta este miércoles que el Mercosur y la Asociación Europea de Libre Comercio (EFTA) dieron luz verde al acuerdo que permitirá la exportación e importación de bienes y servicios en una zona con casi 300 millones de personas. Energía renovable Henrique Choer Moraes, diplomático que representa a Brasil en las negociaciones del Mercosur, destacó la variedad de este acuerdo que va desde la agricultura hasta las centrales de datos. “Es muy amplio ese abanico, abarcando vinos, por ejemplo, pasando por la industria, pero también hay un compromiso muy importante que alcanzamos con la EFTA: nosotros introducimos este compromiso de que la exportación de servicios digitales está supeditada al hecho de que la matriz energética del país que exporta sea del 67% por lo menos de fuentes de energía renovable”, explica Henrique Choer Moraes. Es “un ejemplo para que otros países imiten, porque desde nuestro punto de vista, esto es un ejemplo concreto de algo que los europeos hablan mucho pero no hacen tanto como a nosotros nos gustaría, y es la interfase entre comercio y desarrollo sostenible. Estamos hablando aquí de comercio, de servicios de una forma sostenible”, recalca. A la espera de la Unión Europea La Unión Europea ha sido todo un desafío para los socios del Mercosur, conformado por Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay, Uruguay y Bolivia: en diciembre pasado y tras 25 años de negociaciones, firmaron un acuerdo que sigue sin ser ratificado y enfrenta una fuerte oposición de Francia. El representante de Brasil se muestra sin embargo optimista: “No sería la primera vez en Europa que un acuerdo va a ser sometido a un debate muy acalorado. Pero a pesar de todo eso, estamos confiados porque el contexto global ayuda cada vez más a confirmar la importancia, no solo económica pero estratégica, de que Europa pueda avanzar rumbo a la ratificación del acuerdo con Mercosur. El anuncio del acuerdo con EFTA tendrá también algún impacto en los debates, porque Europa está viendo que el Mercosur no está parado”, estima. Actualmente el Mercosur está en conversaciones comerciales con Emiratos Árabes Unidos y según el diplomático brasileño, Canadá y Japón son algunos de los futuros objetivos.

Follow Atlas Obscura co-founder Dylan Thuras on a quest to discover South America's hidden wonders. From the Last Incan Bridge and the Machu Picchu of the North to the Everlasting Lightning Storm and a statue of a squid fighting a whale the size of the statue of liberty (yes, you read that right), this is an epic ride through Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru's weirdest and wildest wonders. The stuff glittering in the shadows that you may never have heard of before, but you'll be desperate to see after. But it's more than that too. When we think of wonders of the world we think of The Grand Canyon, the Great Pyramids. These are undeniably awe-inspiring, but they're obvious. Everyone goes there, and all too often the experience and the destination suffer as result. Atlas Obscura's mission is to open our eyes to the wonders all around us, the bizarre, hilarious, incredible things that inspire our curiosity and make our jaws drop at the amazing world we share. Wonder is a state of mind, they say, not a place; and the more we look for it, the more it becomes a part of who we are. This is a quest to discover South America's hidden wonders, but we may just discover something hidden in ourselves too. “The problem of failing to recognise the magic in the world lies not with the world, but with us; and it is our job to turn ourselves into vessels of recognising that magic.”  - Dylan Thuras, co-founder Atlas Obscura  Highlights include: ·    Visit the Last Incan Bridge, an 120-foot long woven grass suspension bridge, straight out of Indiana Jones, which has been re-built every year for more than five centuries. ·    Stand at the base of Gocta Falls, the most incredible waterfall you've never heard of – twice the size of the Empire State Building. ·    See Venezuela's Everlasting Lightning Storm, the most electric place on the planet. ·    Meet the Colombian village who travel by home-made zip-line across the jungle. ·    Find out about the inspiration for Atlas Obscura, how it went from a childhood love of weird Midwestern roadside attractions to a global phenomenon and New York Times bestseller. ·    Hear about such crazy historical inventions as the cat piano, the vomiting statue and a language created entirely out of music ·    Learn how by changing our mindset we can escape the wonder deficit of the modern world and live more meaningful and extraordinary lives Atlas Obscura tells extraordinary stories about hidden places, incredible history, scientific marvels, and gastronomical wonders. ⁠www.atlasobscura.com⁠ / @atlasobscura  Dylan's book, ‘Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders', is a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon and in the New York Times: ⁠https://www.atlasobscura.com/unique-gifts/atlas-obscura-book⁠ This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

La producción mundial de drogras creció a nivel mundial, según advirtió una agencia de la ONU, con Colombia desempeñando un papel importante respecto a la cocaína y Norteamérica como mercado principal del fentanilo. Hablamos de la situacón de la región con un experto de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito. Más consumo y más producción de drogas a nivel mundial, con especial atención a la cocaína y a Latinoamérica. La Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito alertó en su informe de que en 2023 la producción ilegal de cocaína a nivel mundial superó las 3.700 toneladas, un tercio más que el año anterior. El aumento se debe en gran medida al incremento de terrenos dedicados al cultivo ilícito de la hoja de coca, haciendo énfasis en Colombia, principal proveedor mundial y donde se producen dos tercios de la cocaína comercializada ilegalmente a nivel mundial. Lorenzo Vita, investigador de la Oficina de la ONU contra la Droga y el Delito, explica la situación en Latinoamérica para Radio Francia Internacional, comenzando por este país: "En Colombia, desde hace unos años, el cultivo de la hoja de coca se está incrementando y también el rendimiento por hectárea. Esta producción se incrementó muchísimo, en un 50% comparado con el año anterior. En Colombia parece que hay actores también extranjeros. A diferencia de antes, hay muchos más grupos que se disputan la producción y que están quizá más orientados al negocio que a la gobernanza del país, como podía ser antes las FARC". Leer tambiénAponte, la comunidad indígena de Colombia que erradicó con éxito los cultivos de amapola Vita también se refirió a la situación de la producción en Bolivia y Perú: "En Bolivia se mantiene estable y en Perú disminuyó un poco, pero siempre estamos hablando de niveles bastante altos, sobre todo en Perú". Otro aspecto a tener en cuenta, más allá del consumo y los perjuicios sociales y contra la salud, es el de la violencia: "En el caso de Ecuador, se trata de la violencia, porque claramente estos grupos criminales también pelean por su territorio y, por ejemplo, se ha visto que en Ecuador esto es muy claro. El número de homicidios ha subido de 7 por cada 100.000 personas en 2020 o 2021 hasta 45". En Estados Unidos y Canadá se incauta el 99% del fentanilo. Se usa quizá más en otras áreas como adulterante, pero en Norteamérica hay un mercado de fentanilo con personas que realmente están buscando esa sustancia.  Otra droga en primera plana, tanto en Sudamérica como en Norteamérica, es el fentanilo. El presidente Donald Trump ha acusado en múltiples ocasiones a China de su producción y a México y Canadá de ser la puerta de entrada a su país. ¿Cuál es la situación real? Consultamos sobre ello a Lorenzo Vita: "Hay evidencias de que algunos precusores pueden tener origen en Asia. Hay evidencias de laboratorios en México. Seguramente lo que es más verdadero de lo que dice Donald Trump es que los mercados de destino son, sobre todo, Estados Unidos y Canadá. Digamos que en esa parte del globo se incauta alrededor del 99% del fentanilo". Se usa quizá más en otras áreas como adulterante, lo que lo hace también más peligroso en algunos casos. En cambio, en Norteamérica hay un mercado de fentanilo con personas que realmente están buscando esa sustancia", concluye.

The human gut microbiome is tightly linked our health. Our analyses of diverse human populations from around the globe, ranging from hunter-gatherer to industrialized, show that the gut microbiome is profoundly influenced by lifestyle. With a large collaborative team, we conducted deep metagenomic sequencing of the gut microbiomes of Tsimane horticulturalists from Bolivia and compared them to those of Hadza hunter-gatherers from Tanzania. We are also investigating whether diet and microbial therapies can address deficiencies in the industrialized gut community. Molecular mechanisms of host-microbial interaction are pursued using an array of technologies and experimental approaches including gnotobiotic and conventional mouse models, quantitative imaging, and a metabolomics pipeline focused on investigating microbiota-dependent metabolites.

You know—the sunset, the summit, the perfect smile. Until I took a trip with a friend who'd studied under National Geographic photographers. Day one, we hiked for hours to a viewpoint. I pulled out my camera, lined up the shot, and BAM—caught the golden light perfectly hitting the valley. I was thrilled. My friend, though? He didn't even blink. “Cool,” he said, “But where's the rest of the story?” Turns out, he wasn't just snapping random cool shots—he was building a five-frame story: who, what, where, when, and why. And suddenly, that single “epic” shot of mine felt... empty. I watched him plan his shots before we even set up camp, getting up before dawn to catch headlamps in the dark, positioning himself on the other ridge for the silhouette. It wasn't luck. It was intentional, strategic, and powerful. Principle Your travel photos shouldn't just be pretty—they should speak. One great image is nice, but a well-crafted story in five frames? That's unforgettable. The real magic happens when you stop chasing moments and start anticipating narratives. Transition The problem is most people don't know this. They think epic shots just “happen,” or worse—they wing it and hope for the best. But capturing adventure isn't about waiting around with a camera. It's about preparing like a storyteller and thinking like a guide. If your photos aren't landing the way you hoped, it's not your talent—it's your approach. That's Why That's why this week's Thursday Drop with Sergio Ballivian is a must-listen. We're breaking down the mindset behind visual storytelling on expeditions—how to capture moments that speak volumes without needing eight months or a magazine budget.

La edad media se caracterizó por el vasallaje que no era más que  el vínculo de dependencia y fidelidad que una persona tenía respecto de otra, contraído mediante ceremonias especiales, como besar la mano el vasallo al que iba a ser su señor.En China que había vivido miles de años antes de cvilización antes que occidente existió la condición de Estado Vasallo, que no eran más que naciones “independientes” que reconocían el señorío de los emperadores chinos y pagaban tributos a cambio de cierta protección.Ayer cuando el presidente de los Estados Unidos le exigió a América Latina informar de qué lado está en un conflicto en el que la región no tiene nada que ver es evidente de que como rey medieval está poniendo claro la situación de los Estados Vasallos.Aunque el peso de Estados Unidos ha caracterizado su relacion con America LAtina considerada su patio, no hubo en la historia reciente una declaración semejante.Hasta ahora los países de la región mayoritariamente han invocado la necesidad de la paz aunque los que públicamente han condenado el uso de la fuerza norteamericana contra Irán son más y no solo Cuba o Venezuela sino que Brasil y Bolivia se han puesto de ese lado.Mañana se reunirá la endeble OEA en Antigua y aunque el tema fundamental es Haití es evidente que Estados Unidos tratará de sacar una resolución de apoyo a su política en oriente medio.República Dominicana ya habló cuando el presidente Abinader dijo ayer que está de acuerdo con el presidente TRump en “trabajar para la paz” y ni de paso mencionó la intervención de los bombarderos norteamericanos en el conflicto.Hay que esperar el reconocimiento de Estado Vasallo y por consiguiente el besamano que es su característica fundamental.

Las "enfermedades olvidadas" afectan principalmente a las poblaciones más pobres y vulnerables del mundo y conllevan consecuencias sanitarias, sociales y económicas devastadoras. Google ha concedido al investigador del CSIC Carlos Fernández Tornero una ayuda de medio millón de dólares para implementar herramientas de IA para el desarrollo de nuevos fármacos contra la enfermedad del sueño. Y ha venido al estudio para contárnoslo.Hablando de IA, es conocido el gran consumo energético de estos sistemas y su impacto en el medio ambiente, pero con Humberto Bustince vamos a hablar de la parte positiva, de la aplicación de estas herramientas para abordar crisis ambientales como la prevención de inundaciones como la causada por la dana en Valencia. Hemos informado del hallazgo de un enorme filamento de gas caliente que une cuatro cúmulos de galaxias. Con 10 veces más masa que la Vía Láctea, podría contener parte de la materia "perdida" del Universo que intriga a los científicos desde hace décadas; de las primeras imágenes de la corona solar, captadas gracias por la misión europea Proba-3 gracias a sus dos satélites, capaces de volar en formación como una sola nave logrando crear un 'eclipse total' artificial; del nuevo marco científico presentado por investigadores estadounidenses que sienta las bases para medir y promover la salud en sí misma, en lugar de simplemente tratar enfermedades, y de un estudio de la Universitat de València que ha demostrado que algunas microalgas simbiontes de líquenes son capaces de sobrevivir en condiciones marcianas por su capacidad para producir oxígeno y nutrientes "en los ambientes más severos". Con Fernando de Castro hemos conocido el sistema glinfático, similar al linfático, pero en el cerebro. Un mal funcionamiento está relacionado con enfermedades degenerativas como el alzhéimer. La biofísica es una ciencia interdisciplinar que trata de entender cómo funciona la vida a un nivel fundamental, desde las moléculas más pequeñas hasta organismos y ecosistemas complejos, utilizando las "reglas" de la física. La Sociedad de Biofísica de España se fundó el año 1986 y del 24 al 27 de junio celebra su congreso anual en la Facultad de Químicas de la Universidad Complutense. Hemos hablado con Álvaro Martínez del Pozo, presidente del Comité Organizador.

Adorned in shades of peridot green, sapphire blue, and onyx black, the Green Jay is a jewel-toned wonder with a voice as loud as its color palette. Their range is split over two regions, one from southern Texas to northern Belize and a second along the Andes Mountains from Venezuela to Bolivia. Green Jays often forage in family flocks where their noisy, rasping chatter helps ward off predators and keep their colorful kin together.This episode is sponsored by Bruce Heyne, in thanks to all those who steward the parks, refuges, and nature preserves that support birds — especially in Deep South Texas where Green Jays thrive.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

You might think that Ernesto “Che” Guevara's resistance came with the Cuban revolution. When he sailed on the yacht known as the Granma, picked up arms, fought alongside Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra, and liberated the island of Cuba. Or when he denounced US intervention at the United Nations, or when he helped to lead Cuba and make it self-sufficient, despite the US embargo that still exists today. Or when he left it all behind to try and spark a revolution in Bolivia.But Ernesto Guevara's resistance began long before all of that. It began when he traveled. When he wandered the land. When he saw the unjust global system all around him—a caste system imposed on the countries of Latin America, where the wealthy were at the top and everyone else fought over the miserable crumbs. And Che Guevara refused to obey. Che vowed to do everything he could to fight it. To resist it. And resist he did… This is episode 46 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.
