A aldeia Ipatsé no território Indígena do Xingu é cercada por dezenas de sítios arqueológicos descobertos nos últimos 30 anos por arqueólogos em parceria com os kuikuros. Juntos, eles mapearam mais de 20 cidades milenares em 1.200 km² de floresta www1.folha.uol.com.br/ciencia/2025/1…

A 3-decade partnership between archaeologists and the Kuikuro people offers a model of collaboration—and documents the complexity of early Amazonian societies. scim.ag/49B8bgz #LongReads

Glad to talk about my latest feature on Science’s podcast

This week, in Science, I tell the story of a unique partnership between archeologists and the Kuikuro Indigenous peoples of Brazil. For more than 30 years, they have been working together to uncover the past of human occupation in the Amazon forest science.org/content/articl…

For @NatureMedicine, @ColumbiaJournMA alum @sofiamoutinhoBR (MA Science '20) reports that from cool roofs to mental health support, researchers worldwide are evaluating the effects of climate adaptations on human health. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Scientists, ethicists, and officials worry the OpenAI contest to find “lost cities” in the Amazon sidesteps archaeological norms and Indigenous rights. My story for Science science.org/content/articl…

Thanks again to Steven Bedard for the opportunity to write to @bioGraphic and Sarah Gilman for the thoughtful edits!

I'm so happy that this beautiful story I wrote for @Biographic has been longlisted in the One World Media Award’s Environmental Reporting category! Nice to see Indigenous science and native bees in the spotlight! recognized @onewm #OWMAwards2025 biographic.com/the-bee-whispe…

Underground water pumping could be reducing river streamflow across Brazil. A new study shows that more than half of the analyzed rivers are at risk. eos.org/articles/brazi…

Inspirados pelo naturalista Alfred Wallace, que visitou o Alto Rio Negro há cerca de 150 anos, os Baniwa de Nazaré do Cubate criaram seu próprio guia de aves, de maneira colaborativa, integrando ciência e saberes tradicionais indígenas audubon.org/magazine/how-i…

In the Peruvian Andes, wildfires not only damage the vegetation but also harm the soil. Even 4 years after a massive wildfire, the vulnerable volcanic soil had not recovered, a new study showed. eos.org/articles/wildf…

In these dark times, let's remember that gender, and not only biology, determines someone's health. That is the case of Alzheimer's disease, which bears a higher burden in women. My story for @NatureMedicine nature.com/articles/s4159…

In these weird times, it is good to remember that gender, and not only sex, plays an important role in Alzheimer’s risk. Women are more likely to develop the disease due to social and biological factors

Women are twice as likely to develop #Alzheimersdisease as men — but scientists do not know why. Read our latest News Feature from @sofiamoutinhoBR nature.com/articles/s4159…
