🇪🇨 Piero Hincapié brilló en el triunfo 3-1 de Ecuador ante Jamaica, siendo clave tanto en defensa como en ataque. Su remate desde la izquierda abrió el marcador y fue celebrado por todos los ecuatorianos como su gol. ¡Vamos, Tri! #CopaAmérica #Ecuador 👇 i.mtr.cool/clmxszxpbc

One of the craziest things I learned last week at #AAI2024 was that we have more free-floating extracellular mitochondria in our blood than white blood cells. This was not in any textbook that I ever read! sci.news/biology/cell-free-m… And the original paper: faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

Astrophysicist and Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar used to travel 80 kilometers every week from the Yerkes Observatory to the University of Chicago, where he taught a course attended by only two students. When asked why he spent his time this way, the professor replied that they were very good students. In 1957, Lee Tsung-Dao and Yang Chen-Ning were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. The course taught by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar became the only course in history where all its attendees received a Nobel Prize.
