Os médicos que efectivamente nasceram para serem médicos
A "democracia celebratória" passa bem sem velhos e doentes
Ainda sobre o meu post de 19 de Abril, no link acima, vale a pena ler aquele escrito pelo catedrático jubilado, Vital Moreira, em 20 de Abril de onde retirei o título do presente post

Science__Covid-19 has a breathtaking "ferocity" and "acts like no microbe humanity has ever seen"
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/04/how-does-coronavirus-kill-clinicians-trace-ferocious-rampage-through-body-brain-toes
maybe now USA Christian fanatics face the reality that the virus cannot be stoped by faith alone https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/04/america-rightwing-christian-preachers-virus-hoax and who knows maybe even the President of Belarus would be willing to revise his wonder vodka-based strategy https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2020/04/coronaviruswhat-our-leaders-can-do-now_26.html
O sucesso fulgurante dos processos disciplinares
Como se previu no post acima foi rápida a forma como o post sobre os filhos da puta ultrapassou o post sobre o bastonário da OM. Aquilo que não se tinha previsto é que ainda mais rápidamente o post sobre os processos disciplinares da Universidade do Porto tivesse ultrapassado aqueles dois e se tenha tornado no campeão dos post dos últimos 90 dias. Vide imagem abaixo.
Russos atraídos por post sobre o Czar Putin
Como se pode perceber abaixo o post acima sobre o Sr. Putin atraiu um número pouco usual de visitantes Russos, nos últimos 7 dias, pois nunca até agora os leitores daquele país tinham conseguido entrar no Top 10 e muito menos chegar ao 3º lugar. É assim evidente que os Russos estão à espreita de qualquer coisa que se diga sobre o Czar Putin.
Parliament of "All Living Things"__No locomotion no vote !

The paper linked above offers a wonderfully humbling correction to our instinctive sense of humanity’s importance. By biomass, all 8 billion humans together are little more than a biological rounding error: viruses outweigh us by roughly three to one, while bacteria outweigh us by more than a thousand to one. If Earth ever convened a Parliament of All Living Things, the bacterial delegation would not merely hold a majority it would possess something close to absolute legislative power, effortlessly passing whatever laws served bacterial interests. Humanity would occupy a few almost invisible seats at the back of the chamber. This would work, of course, only if plants the true biomass superpower of the planet were conveniently disqualified under a rather self-serving “locomotion rule.”
P.S. There is another curious implication of thinking about life on this scale. If one considers the immense quantity of bodily fluids contained in all the animals that have ever lived the roughly 100 billion humans who have existed alone account for billions of tonnes then an extraordinary amount of Earth’s water has, at one time or another, passed through living bodies. In that sense, some of the water we drink today may once have been part of an animal that lived centuries, millennia or even millions of years ago.

As celebrações do 25 de Abril e os Portugueses que tem a capacidade de morrer duas vezes
Coronavírus__Assim (ignaramente) escreve um professor Associado
2-será que não fazia sentido que a A3ES cruzasse as médias de entrada dos alunos no acesso ao ensino superior com a média de curso à saída, tanto para instituições privadas como públicas, para assim tentar detectar padrões anómalos ? Ou será absolutamente normal que possa haver instituições onde se entre com média de 10 ou 11 valores e se saia com média final de 16 ou 17 valores ?
The Russian Economy: Prospects for Putin 4.0
Also interesting is the image 3 in page 166 that shows Russia will become poorer in the next years, image 15 (page 173) about defense spending in which Russia tops the list and also the image 17 (page 174) about public spending on education that puts Russia performance below countries like Costa Rica and Indonesia.
P.S1 - Post on 14 of March of 2018
P.S2 - Still one must recognize that Putin was the only Russian Tsar that managed to do something that no other did in the last 244 years since USA Declaration of Independence.
