January 29th is the Brazilian National Transgender Day of Visibility. In academia there is still exclusion and prejudice when it comes to minorities, including LGBTQIA+ people.

[BiMaLab @BiMaLab1]

This obstructs the advancement of science, as it makes it difficult for scientists from diverse social groups to carry out their activities and contribute to the building of knowledge. It is up to all of us to fight to change the academic environment into a place of respect.

Today, January 26th, Environmental Education Day is celebrated. The date established in 1975 by UNESCO to think about how human beings in society can live better with the environment.

Hunting threatens wild cats in the Pampa and Atlantic Forest regions in Brazil. Historically driven by the use of fur, it's now motivated by retaliation for predation on poultry. Harmonious coexistence can be done trough proper management and coop maintenance.
