My new paper is out in @PLOSBiology about art 🎨 and science 🧪collaborations! We argue that ✨art and science are one in the same✨ and provide recommendations for researchers & universities about how to support sci/art synergy.

If you are a leader and you don't really know where to go, ask yourself - what would Jacinda do?
(It sounds quite obvious when she explains it, doesn't it? And yet here we are)

[Joana Lobo Antunes🔬💬 @JoanaLoA]

Um dos problemas da aproximação dos cientistas às "pessoas normais" é a obsessão da academia portuguesa em se fazerem chamar pelos títulos. Cria de imediato distância e abre um fosso. A autoridade não é dada pelo Dr mas sim pela competência e conhecimento.
Bom dia Mónica :)

Powerful demonstration of how rapidly infections can spread. One guy had fluorescent paint applied to his palm. He and nine others then shared a buffet meal. After 30 minutes, *everyone* had paint on their hands, and three had it on their faces. 😬 https://t.co/6gMlIQOl8y
