@AmrcnGuillotine@SupremePintade@crazycatguy787 Classic moment when a person expressing an opinion is confronted with a good argumentation and has only “I never said that was my opinion” to respond. And, yes, any evolutionary biologist can give you a dozens of mechanisms to explain how genomes evolve from 400 to 20k genes.
🚨 BREAKING: Brazil just gave away a breakthrough invention because it couldn't pay a patent fee.
Dr. Tatiana Sampaio drops a bombshell: The "Polilaminina" — a revolutionary material developed at Brazil's top federal university — is now anyone's to claim.
Why? Budget cuts in 2015-2016 left UFRJ too broke to renew the international patent.
Translation: Years of research. Millions in public investment. Gone. Because the government couldn't spare the maintenance fees.
Now foreign companies can patent it themselves — and Brazil will pay them to use what it invented.
This is what "austerity" actually costs.
