Hello good morning!
Without innovating decadence always awaits. Spain knows it. And he chooses to sign up great scientists based on a checkbook. What basic science thinks, the pillar of everything, remains to be seen. Besides the heat and drought worries. The data says that it takes getting used to. Oh.
The situation is filled with gray: there is an economic slowdown; there is inflation (although more in Europe than in Spain); Davos discusses a possible upcoming destruction of thousands of jobs; Household savings, in short, are expected to fall by 6% this year…
Spain wants to ensure its pillars for the future and will offer one million euros to 25 scientists who are leaders in their field, regardless of their nationality, in order to try to attract them. The intention is to repeat it every year. And other funds will go to young people.
Advances in artificial intelligence, moreover, currently focus much of the scientific attention. Here or in China, it’s the same. Another thing is its impact. And there thinkers of the prestige of Harari assert: perhaps it means the end of human history. Yeah?
The official electoral campaign has not yet started and the contest is already heating up. Ayuso goes to war against Sánchez and vetoes the Minister of the Presidency on Dos de Mayo. And he gives a warning to Feijóo. And some socialist aligns with her. Everything is stirred.
Missiles, like mercenaries, are central to the Ukrainian war. Among the seconds, Wagner seems like the king – and it goes further. Before the first, those who defend the Ukrainian sky have been key to stopping the Russian advance – and that is their day to day.
How hot! What a drought! The data insists on remembering that what is lived today is serious. The first day of summer now arrives a month earlier than in the 1960s and the lack of water already forces it to be restricted to six million people in Catalonia alone.
Social housing knocks on the door after the public announcements that seek to promote it in the face of the growing drama of not being able to pay for the purchase or rent of a flat. Problem: it requires building 300,000 social apartments a year, the same as in three decades.

The cherry trees of the Wall. At this time there are many who recommend traveling to Japan to see the cherry blossoms. Closer, in Berlin, those donated by Japan in 1990 and planted in the scar of the Wall flourish. It is unique twice.
Ghost gas stations. The opening of new service stations, despite everything, is a constant in Spain and above all it is carried out by gas stations without employees. Catalonia is in the lead. Change of model beyond what happens with the electric car?
The (great) power of art. Artists are aware of the influence of what they create. And its consequences, often political. Today Tania Bruguera, Velázquez Prize winner, explains it to La Vanguardia in the first person, with Cuba for example.
