    The evolution and biodiversity of ageing have long fascinated scientists and the public alike. While mammals, including long‐lived species such as humans, show a marked ageing process, some species of reptiles and amphibians exhibit very slow and even the absence of ageing phenotypes. How can reptiles and other vertebrates age slower than mammals? Herein, I propose that evolving during the rule of the dinosaurs left a lasting legacy in mammals. For over 100 million years when dinosaurs were the …Read more

    Social media, social unfreedom
    with Jun Yu
    Communications 47 (4): 553-571. 2022.
    This essay addresses the moral nature of corporate social media platforms through the lenses of Axel Honneth’s concept of justice, according to which relations of mutual recognition must be institutionalized into spheres of social freedom to claim a just society. This perspective allows us to observe how platforms configure a symmetrically inverted form of ethical sphere, in which users are led to formulate non-autonomous desires that can only be realized socially. We characterize this as social…Read more

    Cell divisions and mammalian aging: integrative biology insights from genes that regulate longevity
    with Richard G. A. Faragher
    Bioessays 30 (6): 567-578. 2008.
    Despite recent progress in the identification of genes that regulate longevity, aging remains a mysterious process. One influential hypothesis is the idea that the potential for cell division and replacement are important factors in aging. In this work, we review and discuss this perspective in the context of interventions in mammals that appear to accelerate or retard aging. Rather than focus on molecular mechanisms, we interpret results from an integrative biology perspective of how gene produ…Read more
  • A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar a concepção de pensamento reflexivo na perspectiva do filósofo, pedagogo e psicólogo estadunidense John Dewey, e porque a reflexão deve se tornar o objetivo da educação. Neste sentido, o discente deve ser capaz de pensar de forma ordenada diante de algo que lhe causa perplexidade ou dúvida, passando de um conhecimento superficial, puramente empírico, para um conhecimento mais elaborado, investigativo, científico. Nessa transição o professor, que n…Read more
