Thank you @leslievosshall for finding and sharing our work. I’m not much of a tweeter but am so proud of this paper that I decided to make my first ever “🧵” about our work with the coolest plant on earth, #purslane 1-
Purslane, a delicious semi-succulent drought-resistant wild plant that thrives in mall parking lots and highway overpasses has unlocked a new way to photosynthesize. Ideas for a new food future here #climate science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

This makes fascinating and disturbing reading. All eyes are on the Amazon but illegal land clearance by both direct and indirect suppliers to Brazil's 3 largest meatpackers was greater in the savannas of the cerrado (2008-2019; table 5)
Just came across this hugely important report mapping out beef supply chain in Brazil
This is the key right here! Stopping deforestation from indirect suppliers (little dots) to big 3 companies (larger circles)

Presidente, por que o senhor não agiu assim que viu as filas de caixões na Itália? Por que mentiu que era saúde ou economia, deixando todos sem leitos e sem empregos? Por que não ouviu o socorro do Amazonas? Que a CPI da Covid nos traga as muitas respostas que o senhor nos deve.
Our paper was published online in Oecologia last week! Great collaboration with a wonderful PhD student!
I’m asking the #G20 to use every tool in their toolkit to make sure that no country is left behind because of #COVID19. It’s time for leaders to deliver a bold plan at this week’s #SpringMeetings. @ONECampaign #ONEWorld

Nosso plano de imunização inclui:
CoronaVac - Gov Federal recusou compra
Oxford - Fiocruz que fez o acordo
Covax - Min de Rel Exteriores recusou compra
Sputnik V - Acatamos EUA pra não comprar
Pfizer - Ignoramos em 08/20
Janssen - só compramos em 03/21
Falta vacina por escolha.

Today, I received the COVID-19 vaccine.
To the scientists and researchers who worked tirelessly to make this possible — thank you. We owe you an awful lot.
And to the American people — know there is nothing to worry about. When the vaccine is available, I urge you to take it.

The world lost another great botanist and character yesterday. The herbarium halls will be sadly quieter, and unexpected conversations fewer.
Rest in peace Harold Robinson.
Here's to the future botanists that have an amazing legacy to carry forward.

Se alguém tinha dúvida da prática de genocídio pelo presidente, agora sabe que além de genocida ele se diverte com a morte, desde que ajude em suas disputas políticas.

Today, the Trump Administration officially left the Paris Climate Agreement. And in exactly 77 days, a Biden Administration will rejoin it.
The U.S. has officially left the Paris Agreement, three years after Pres. Trump announced he would leave the international climate change forum. abcn.ws/2I2fMKq

Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now.
The 2020 election is literally a matter of life and death. We urge you to vote for health, science and Joe Biden for President.
