The Coffee Science Center, located in Campo Maior, hosts this Friday the V Manuel Ferreira Patrício Conference. The event is an initiative of the Coração Delta Association, the organizing entity of the meeting.

The conference aims to celebrate the memory and legacy of Manuel Ferreira Patrício, continuing a series of gatherings that are now in their fifth edition.

It suggests that the problem is not a lack of knowledge, but rather of habit: water is available, but it doesn't have a place in our schedule. The solution involves creating a routine that reminds us to drink water regularly to take care of body and mind.

The work explores "morbid curiosity" and suggests that human interest in macabre and frightening content is linked to the ability to identify with those who suffer, challenging the view that this type of content is merely harmful or unhealthy.

To this day, there is no evidence that life formed in Space

There is still no evidence that life formed in Space, even though the basic ingredients — such as amino acids, sugars and nucleic acid bases — have already been found in meteorites and asteroid samples. Laboratory experiments show that more complex molecules can also form under space-like conditions, which fuels the hypothesis that essential components of life may have been produced outside Earth and then transported here. However, according to Philip Ball in an article in Chemistry World, these results are far from proving that terrestrial life began in this way.

Industry in Alagoas supports marine fauna conservation

The Biota Institute of Conservation, a non-governmental organization operating in Alagoas since 2009, carries out continuous monitoring and protection work for marine fauna, with emphasis on the BiotaMar Project, initiated in 2016 in the Costa dos Corais Environmental Protection Area, the largest marine conservation unit in Brazil. The initiative records strandings of marine animals, monitors the reproductive period of sea turtles, and promotes citizen science actions through the "Stranded?!" campaign. With support from ICMBio and the SOS Pró-Mata Atlântica Foundation, the project has already registered nearly 9,000 occurrences.
