What separates life from death? What makes the cell on the left different from the one on the right? These are questions I explore in my new @princetonupress.bsky.social book. At the cell scale, death begins when the distinction between inside & outside collapses. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

El Gobierno eleva a 72 el número de muertos en el cruce multitudinario de personas desde marruecos el pasado 30 de julio. El mismo día, el rey Mohammed VI celebraba sus 27 años en el trono acompañado de su familia y del resto de autoridades del país. Viñeta de @reydibujante.bsky.social

¿Hay una operación Trump contra España para desestabilizar el Gobierno?

APUNTE Guerra sucia en Ceuta. Elemental. El gobierno marroquí organiza la “invasión”. La secretaría de Estado de USA (Marco Rubio) ha calificado antes Ceuta como territorio ocupado por España. Y Feijóo culpa a Sánchez por la “invasión”.

57 muertos, hasta el momento, ha costado la jugada de la ultraderecha internacional y del rey de Marruecos para desestabilizar el país y echar a Pedro Sánchez... PP y Vox aplaudiendo.

A ver si entiendo, a Begoña Gómez se la juzgará por presunta MALVERSACIÓN de 113.000 € por un software cuya FINANCIACIÓN PRIVADA (176.000 €) cubrió el coste de sobra A Ayuso, por el ático de lujo de ~6M que le compró su Gobierno con DINERO PÚBLICO, ni se investiga, es así, no?

▶️ Ceutíes critican la presencia de ultras: "¡Fuera, fascistas, de nuestra ciudad!" "Nosotros sí que luchamos por España".

OPINIÓN | “Y los ‘pseudopatriotas’ de Vox y PP, dando alas a los planes de Mohamed VI con su histerismo xenófobo. Habría que reírse si no fuera una tragedia con muertos, o más bien, asesinados por su propio rey”, por Ana Pardo de Vera … diario.publico.es/90h…

Y todos juntos desestabilizamos España

La prioridad nacional era aliarse con las indisimuladas injerencias extranjeras contra España. ¡Felicidades a esos patriotas!

Pathogen host-jumps pose major risks to health, but how can we predict them? This study shows that #pathogen novelty, rather than #spillover rate, is a stronger predictor of host-jump risk, so we should monitor emerging pathogens with limited spillover histories @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4ss5WCY

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
