Sobre la situación de la posible/inminente eliminación de la materia Astronomía de enseñanza secundaria, el 10 de setiembre de 1993 Carl Sagan le envió al ministro de educación del momento, también herrerista, una carta para que no lo hicieran (primera imagen), yo estaba en 6to de escuela, ni me enteré. Hoy en este nuevo gobierno herrerista, nuevamente quieren quitar astronomía y ahora es la presidenta de la IAU Debra Elmegreen que manda la carta (imagen 2 y 3). Sacó un artículo sobre este tema La Diaria --> https://ladiaria.com.uy/ciencia/articulo/2023/8/disparen-sobre-astronomia/ y hay un artículo muy completo con la versión traducida de la carta en el blog del profesor Martín Monteiro --> https://fisicamartin.blogspot.com/2023/08/astronomia-en-educacion-media-de-uruguay.html La derecha neoliberal conservadora no descansa nunca #astronomy #astronomía #carlsagan #sagan #uruguay #blancospillos #enseñanza #secundaria #educación

Currently reading Carl #Sagan “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Light in the Darkness.”

And I can’t help wondering if #FredHutchinsonCancerCenter in #Seattle would still be enforcing a #mask mandate if Dr. Sagan lay dying in their facility today instead of in 1996 when he died there.

I like to imagine what he’d have to say about #COVID so am searching for his words in his books and in his series “#Cosmos.”

I think Sagan was the light in the darkness. We don’t have anyone like him, today.

Final words of Carl #Sagan testifying before Congress in 1985 on #ClimateChange: "I think that what is essential for this problem is a global consciousness, a view that transcends our exclusive identifications with the generational and political groupings into which by accident we have been born. The solution to these problems requires a perspective that embraces three planet and the future because we are all in this greenhouse together."

You guys Peter Sagan is riding one last TdF and he's on the same team as Edvald Boasson Hagen!

There are three rules for watching #leTour: every time the announcers mention Peter Sagan you must shout in a high pitched nasaly voice "SSSSAGAN", every time they mention Boasson Hagan, you must shout in a deep and serious voice "BOASSON HAGEN", and every time they mention Tiesj Benoot you must shout in a cheerful and melodic voice "TIESJ BENOOT".

Sagan ajoi tänään uransa viimeisen Slovakian mestaruuskisan. No huh! Ensimmäistä kertaa vuoden 2010 Slovakian mestarin sukunimi ei ole Sagan. Välissä oli tosin neljä vuotta, kun Peter ei osallistunut ja velipoika hoiti mestaruuspaidan perheeseen.

《En el reverso, se leía:

Ésta es la respuesta de los defensores de Esparta al comandante del ejército romano: "Si eres un dios, no harás daño a quienes jamás te lo han hecho. Si eres un hombre, avanza, porque te toparás hombres de tu misma talla". Y mujeres.》

- Contacto, de Carl #Sagan -

A friend sent me this today. I've seen it many times before, but it always hits me. If we all saw the world the way Carl #Sagan did this world would be a far better place.
