Sounds normal. But it isn’t.⁠ ⁠ On #WomenInScienceDay these are the voices of women researchers at ICTA-UAB, imagining what science would feel like if gender equality were fully achieved. This is what should be ordinary.⁠ #IfThisWereNormal #GenderEquality #11F #ICTAUAB #WomenInSTEM

🌡️Heatwaves are one of the most invisible, yet deadly, climate risks in cities.

Temas muy chulos aquí: una investigación en el Raval mostró que donde mejor se sentían los migrantes en verano, no solo por confort térmico sino emocional, no eran refugios climáticos al uso. Eran dos espacios autogestionados/ocupados: un huerto urbano y la escuela Massana www.rtve.es/n/16694090/
