A aldeia Ipatsé no território Indígena do Xingu é cercada por dezenas de sítios arqueológicos descobertos nos últimos 30 anos por arqueólogos em parceria com os kuikuros. Juntos, eles mapearam mais de 20 cidades milenares em 1.200 km² de floresta https://t.co/3fcnDcfeGi

A 3-decade partnership between archaeologists and the Kuikuro people offers a model of collaboration—and documents the complexity of early Amazonian societies. https://t.co/VeahmvWxv8 #LongReads

Glad to talk about my latest feature on Science’s podcast

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Contributing Correspondent Sofia Moutinho visited the Xingu Indigenous territory in Brazil to learn about a long-standing collaboration between scientists and the Kuikuro to better understand early Amazon communities.

This week, in Science, I tell the story of a unique partnership between archeologists and the Kuikuro Indigenous peoples of Brazil. For more than 30 years, they have been working together to uncover the past of human occupation in the Amazon forest

For @NatureMedicine, @ColumbiaJournMA alum @sofiamoutinhoBR (MA Science '20) reports that from cool roofs to mental health support, researchers worldwide are evaluating the effects of climate adaptations on human health. https://t.co/2KTYXkALJo

Scientists, ethicists, and officials worry the OpenAI contest to find “lost cities” in the Amazon sidesteps archaeological norms and Indigenous rights. My story for Science https://t.co/m8k3fvkoM1

Thanks again to Steven Bedard for the opportunity to write to @bioGraphic and Sarah Gilman for the thoughtful edits!

[Sofia Moutinho @sofiamoutinhoBR]

I'm so happy that this beautiful story I wrote for @Biographic has been longlisted in the One World Media Award’s Environmental Reporting category! Nice to see Indigenous science and native bees in the spotlight! recognized @onewm #OWMAwards2025

Underground water pumping could be reducing river streamflow across Brazil. A new study shows that more than half of the analyzed rivers are at risk.

Inspirados pelo naturalista Alfred Wallace, que visitou o Alto Rio Negro há cerca de 150 anos, os Baniwa de Nazaré do Cubate criaram seu próprio guia de aves, de maneira colaborativa, integrando ciência e saberes tradicionais indígenas

In the Peruvian Andes, wildfires not only damage the vegetation but also harm the soil. Even 4 years after a massive wildfire, the vulnerable volcanic soil had not recovered, a new study showed.

@Abongoben @eochomo @KEMRI_Kenya @Habitat_org Dear @BernardAbong , I am journalist writing for Nature Medicine about climate/health interventions. I would like to talk to you. Can you send me your email?

[Sofia Moutinho @sofiamoutinhoBR]

In these dark times, let's remember that gender, and not only biology, determines someone's health. That is the case of Alzheimer's disease, which bears a higher burden in women. My story for @NatureMedicine https://t.co/eGCYvAj008

[Sofia Moutinho @sofiamoutinhoBR]

In these weird times, it is good to remember that gender, and not only sex, plays an important role in Alzheimer’s risk. Women are more likely to develop the disease due to social and biological factors

[Nature Medicine @NatureMedicine]

Women are twice as likely to develop #Alzheimersdisease as men — but scientists do not know why.
