This blue was once worth its weight in gold.

La presión constante por publicar (el famoso “publica o muere”) fomentada por el exigente sistema de evaluación académico y la mayor competición entre el creciente número de grupos de investigación son algunas de las causas de esta sobreproducción de artículos y revistas. Por otra parte, hay que destacar también la aparición de revistas y congresos “depredadores” con las que algunos investigadores, ávidos por aumentar su número de publicaciones, intentan hinchar sus currículums con contribuciones científicas carentes de rigor y con una escasa revisión por pares.Oras consecuencias de esta aceleración en la producción científica son el despiece de un mismo estudio científico en el mayor número de artículos posible (salami slicing”), el plagio y la publicación de resultados difíciles de reproducir o incluso erróneos, muchas veces debidos a la precipitación a la hora de publicar.
The word ‘Syntropy’ in an agroforestry concept which refers to “increasing complexity” or bio-diversity within the system.Syntropic Farming is an innovative approach to regenerative agriculture which allows us to create dynamic, successional, and economically viable ecosystems that restore degraded soil biodiversity. By understanding and respecting nature's complex system, Syntropic Farming imitates the natural regeneration of forests and provides a harmonious integration of our food production systems.
A young paleontologist may have discovered a record of the most significant event in the history of life on Earth.
"It was completely out of place, like finding a kangaroo in Scotland. Africa was completely isolated by water—so how did they get there?"
Researchers believe they have closed the case of what killed the dinosaurs, definitively linking their extinction with an asteroid that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago by finding a key piece of evidence: asteroid dust inside the impact crater.
It is the third-largest impact in modern times, after Chelyabinsk and a massive explosion that occurred in Siberia, Russia, in 1908. Known as the Tunguska event, the air burst flattened an estimated 80 million trees over an area of more than 2000 square kilometres.
