I'm a research professor at Universidad del Papaloapan, México. I enjoy plant molecular biology, mentoring talented students and teaching biotech stuff.

@PhD_Genie The 10 yrs you spend as an un recognized worker. We lose millions in retirement funds, interests, and other benefits (e.g. yearly, vacation, or productivity bonuses). Some countries are changing that (Switzerland). It’s very close to a scam, but we were young, idealistic n naive

Third time we host a World Cup. Oh, yes, is México. Pause the time, please

[Julián M. Peña-Castro @JulianMPCastro]

Why are so many people concerned about writing difficulties? That’s the easy part of science. Doing the experiments is the toughest part!

Am I missing something?

Claude Code Fable 5 gave me a 7,000-word research paper with a single prompt.

It offers a theoretically-grounded argument.

The prose style is getting closer to mine.

It doesn't get detected by Pangram as 100% AI.

Used 573K tokens and reached 70% of the 5-hour limit.

I left the Catholic Church a long time ago, but Leon is hitting the bullseye all the time.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

He got the action, he got the motion
Oh, yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

In Latam we’d like to thank Secretary Blonde Worm and President Trumpstein Files for bringing to the attention of millions of young people the glorious career of a true freedom fighter and living legend: Comandante Raúl Castro.

No leftist propaganda machine could’ve achieved it

@SniInvestigador Tal vez a los profesores no nos “den nada”. Pero les aseguro que junto con # de SNII, es un indicador de asignación presupuestaria preponderante que se puede usar en mejorar las capacidades de investigación. Que creamos que no sirve, es un fallo de nuestros directivos.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available

And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.

It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.

But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

[Julián M. Peña-Castro @JulianMPCastro]

Mexican gov subsidizes researchers reaching publishing quotas. For 40yrs the rules have changed many times; planning a career is a hurdle. The new SNI evaluation is clearer and includes books and patents. It sets a path towards unleashing Mexico’s R&D power, finally, hopefully.

@Melindaleka @espinosacrim Mi interpretación de la lectura de los docs me hace entender que es por trayectoria, lo que antes se llama obra global. No es obligatorio ser NIII, en mi estado actual familiar ser I es mi justa medida, este reglamento incluso me pone en trayectoria de II, algo imposible antes.

[Julián M. Peña-Castro @JulianMPCastro]

@SniInvestigador Qué puntada, aplausos!

[Julián M. Peña-Castro @JulianMPCastro]

@SniInvestigador No manches, prácticamente duplicaron los productos para todos lo niveles, en especial para el C y 1. Adiós mundo cruel! 😵😵

Aviators in biblical times? 🤣🤣

These KKKlowns have never touched a Bible, much less read one.

“My call sign is Sandy-1”… please rewind the world, this absolute ridicule. 😂🤣

🇺🇸🚨‼️ SUPER CUT: Secretary of War Hegseth reads a US Air Force version of the fictional Bible verse from Pulp Fiction.

Whether this is awesome or stupid is up to you.

After a visit to the Finlay Institute and the CIGB in Cuba in 1997, I decided to become a scientist, and a biotechnologist in particular. Free my sister nation, now.

[COMBATE |🇵🇷 @upholdreality]

Cuban President Diaz-Canel to NBC: if Cuba is so incapable, so closed-off, so uninnovative -- why has the US spent 60+ years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying to crush it?

"Why don't they let us fall on our own, if that's what they believe?"

[Julián M. Peña-Castro @JulianMPCastro]

Today may be one of the most infamous days in modern history. Millions of innocent Iranians might suffer the unimaginable: food insecurity, hospitals paralyzed, transgenerational poverty. Another victim is the USA itself left deprived of its last moral reserves, an empty power.

Trump threatens that "a whole civilization will die tonight" in new post

Silence is an approval checkmark for the fascists duo of rogue states.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute bombshell on Al Jazeera. The US and Israel have deliberately bombed over 30 universities across Iran, assassinating professors in their homes and massacring over 60 students. Washington is systematically trying to destroy Iranian scientific progress.

[Julián M. Peña-Castro @JulianMPCastro]

Terror on science and health. Why all scientific associations are silent?

This is like 1939, now you now what you’d done back then.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

A French journalist in Iran confirms Trump and Israel bombed:

• 8 pharmaceutical factories — including a cancer medication facility

• 60 pharmacies

• Hospitals

• One of the oldest medical research institutions in the region

These aren’t military targets
They’re lifelines
