Argia ematen duten landareak, hau ikusteko ere jaio garela dirudi. Gure artean ditugun landare ohikoak dira asko, orkideak edo krasak adibidez, baina zuhaitzekin ere ari dira halako probak egiten. Bioluminiszentzia deitzen zaio eta tratamendu genetikoak eginda lortzen da, hau da, landare transgenikoak dira. Ipurtargien eta berezko argia duten onddoen geneak hartu eta landareei txertatuta ari dira halakoak lortzen. Baliteke honek gure paisaia urbanoak urte gutxiren buruan aldatzea. Gaurko sendabelarra, berriz, ez da propioki sendabelarra, landare toxikoa bizik. Zikutari buruz aritu gara, baina uda partean askok azenario basatiarekin nahasten dute. Albistea Argentinatik ekarri dugu, han mihiluarekin nahasten dutelako. Gaur egun telefonoan ditugun aplikazioen akatsak direla medio, pozoinketak eta heriotzak gertatzen dira. Horregatik, arduratik eta halakoak gerta ez daitezen, nola jokatu azaldu dugu. Gomendioarena atalean une hauetan egiteko moduko ukendu bat: Milagritos deitutako ukendua hain zuzen. Berbena (Verbena officinalis), pasmo-belarra (Anagallis arvensis) eta plantaina arra (Plantago lanceolata) erabilita egiten den ukenduaz ari gara.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:A group of award-winning journalists and documentarians expressed strong opposition to the proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery during a press conference today, citing the threat the deal poses to journalism and American democracy. Journalists Kara Swisher, Jim Acosta, and Katie Phang along with Emmy-winning documentary filmmakers Laura Poitras and Geeta Gandbhir spoke at the event, hosted by Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), Democracy Defenders Fund, International Documentary Association, Future Film Coalition, and Free Press. The 2026 News & Documentary Emmy Awards, which begin tonight, celebrate achievements that wouldn’t be possible without press freedom and editorial independence. But, as the speakers discussed, Paramount CEO David Ellison has a track record of throwing those fundamental American principles under the bus to curry favor with the Trump administration, harming the press, the public, and Paramount itself. Case in point, today news broke that Paramount-owned CBS News would not renew the contract of journalist Sharyn Alfonsi, who resisted censorship of her “60 Minutes” story on torture of Venezuelan migrants.“I think what’s happening right now is pretty dangerous,” said Acosta. “To essentially announce the departure of Sharyn Alfonsi from 60 Minutes is a very in-your-face move by some people who don’t care very much about the First Amendment.” Acosta added, “Folks need to use a little bit of their imagination here to recognize what may be coming down the pike” with a “strange oligarchical empire … attempting to do state media.” “There’s a feeling that the wall has come down between editorial independence and corporate interests,” said Swisher. “They’re not doing it for economics. The math doesn’t math. You think Elon Musk bought Twitter to make money? These people are rich beyond all possible wealth. You have to really be thinking about what’s the actual game here, and the actual game is influence, and to take corporate interests and align them with editorial.”Phang added that in a world where the government dictates who owns the media, “editorial independence will be a thing of the past, and what you’ll have is no one capable of being able to hold power to account.” “Consolidation of media is bad for the public, it’s bad for creators, it’s bad for the public’s right to know,” said Poitras, who also serves on FPF’s board of directors. “The government has always tried to silence and censor the press, and the job of the press and the journalist is to be adversarial to power … the interests of corporations are entirely different [from] what is good for the press,” which, she explained, leads to capitulation by conglomerates faced with government pressure. Gandbhir highlighted an often-overlooked issue: The proposed merger’s impact on news archives. “Many of us documentary filmmakers depend on access to archives to make our films, and specifically, the CNN archive holds over 4 million assets, spanning 45-plus years of global news, wars, elections, and political events. And, the CBS archive adds to that years of network television programming. And folding these two massive archives, two of the four major U.S. news archives, under the control of one entity, who has shown themselves to be active in editorial suppression, is a grave threat to documentary filmmakers,” she explained. FPF also released an open letter yesterday signed by over 200 current and former journalists, documentarians, journalism professors, and rights organizations. The letter elaborates on the dangers of allowing the administration to steer media companies to stooges and oligarchs who have shown a willingness to censor the news — and tank news companies — to further their own interests. Notable signers include Sam Donaldson, SE Cupp, and Mehdi Hasan, as well as Acosta, Phang, and Poitras, among many others. FPF plans to continue collecting signatures. FPF Chief of Advocacy Seth Stern said: “The First Amendment assumes that the government will attempt to silence the press, but the First Amendment also assumes that the press won’t voluntarily agree, won’t go down without a fight.” He added that “news outlets have a constitutional right to report from whichever perspective they see fit, but presidents don’t have a right to abuse their offices to shape those decisions, and executives like Ellison who are willing to let them do so need to stay out of the news business and find some other widget to sell.” Please contact us if you would like further comment or a copy of the transcript and/or video of the press conference.

When Lee Ann Sommerville took a Charleston, West Virginia chemical plant to court last year, she framed her case as a public health crisis. Sommerville claimed she had been exposed to ethylene oxide – an alleged carcinogen – and argued that she needed medical monitoring before it was too late. Her case relied almost entirely on the testimony of Dr. Ranajit Sahu, a mechanical engineer who had appeared as an expert witness in every EtO lawsuit filed to date. The District Court rejected his testimony, excluding his findings under Federal Rule of Evidence 702 on the grounds that his methodology was unreliable and that he had “cherry-picked” data to support a predetermined conclusion. Rule 702 helps keep misinformation out of the court. Testimony rooted in speculative science can mislead juries, skew verdicts, and drive up costs for consumers. Upholding strong evidentiary standards is not just an ethical responsibility for judges – it's the law. Rule 702 requires witnesses to be “qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education.” Cases like Lee Ann Sommerville’s are not uncommon. Rather, they emphasize the need for strong evidentiary standards. Without such safeguards, courts risk becoming venues for speculative or methodologically unsound testimony that can mislead juries and drain judicial resources. Consistently applying Rule 702 across federal and state courts would help prevent flawed cases like this from advancing to trial, preserving both the integrity of the legal system and the time and resources of courts and litigants alike. Judges must constantly look to weed out expert testimony and evidence that is rooted in speculative science. Too often, attorneys working on contingency fees are willing to overlook questionable scientific rigor when self-proclaimed “experts” provide testimony that advances their case, regardless of how flawed its scientific methodologies may be. Yet despite this clear mandate to reject unsupported scientific testimony, questionable expert evidence continues to influence litigation across the country. Federal courts that have mentioned either Daubert or Rule 702 regularly apply the standard incorrectly – leaving much room for error in the American justice system. When Rule 702 standards are applied correctly, unfair verdicts can be avoided. These standards serve as a critical check against outcomes built on shaky science. Sommerville's case illustrates exactly why that matters. Without the District Court judge acting as a gatekeeper, Dr. Sahu’s flawed testimony might have gone unchallenged, and Sommerville could have walked away with a substantial award based on manufactured risk rather than real harm. Cases like Sommerville’s are driving momentum for reform at the state level to align evidentiary standards with Rule 702’s amended language. Several states have recently moved to bring their standards in line with the latest version of Rule 702, signaling a broader shift in how courts are expected to evaluate expert testimony. Leading that shift, states like Arizona, Oklahoma and South Dakota have adopted Rule 702, requiring their state judges to rigorously assess the reliability of expert testimony before it reaches the jury. North Dakota and Florida are among other states that have taken significant steps toward alignment, recognizing a consistent, high bar for expert evidence is essential. Advocates for strong evidentiary standards are hopeful that more states will follow this trend. Correctly applying Rule 702 to all expert testimony will protect all Americans and prevent courts from delivering unjust verdicts.
