Utilização do Instagram® como estratégia para disseminação de conhecimento acerca da ciência dos alimentos

As mídias sociais podem ser utilizadas como ferramenta de divulgação de informações. Esse trabalho relata as atividades realizadas pelo projeto de extensão “Farmalimentos”, utilizando o Instagram® como meio de divulgação de conteúdo científico na área de ciência dos alimentos, no intuito de combater as desinformações disseminadas pela sociedade. O projeto é composto por discentes e docentes do curso de Farmácia da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Os temas dos posts foram definidos em conjunto, elaborados pelos discentes, sob supervisão dos docentes orientadores. Durante o período de 12 de novembro de 2019 a 02 de setembro de 2021, ocorreram 31 publicações na conta @farmalimentos. Os quadros “Você sabia?”, “Mito ou verdade?” e “Fraudes alimentares” tiveram alcance de 974, 775 e 754 contas, respectivamente. Esperamos ter contribuído para a formação dos estudantes e divulgação de informações fidedignas para população, de forma a auxiliar na escolha por alimentos mais saudáveis e seguros

Global urban environmental change drives adaptation in white clover

Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white clover plants from 6169 populations in 160 cities globally. Plants were assayed for a Mendelian antiherbivore defense that also affects tolerance to abiotic stressors. Urban-rural gradients were associated with the evolution of clines in defense in 47% of cities throughout the world. Variation in the strength of clines was explained by environmental changes in drought stress and vegetation cover that varied among cities. Sequencing 2074 genomes from 26 cities revealed that the evolution of urban-rural clines was best explained by adaptive evolution, but the degree of parallel adaptation varied among cities. Our results demonstrate that urbanization leads to adaptation at a global scale
