Great women in paleontology: Diana Mussa | Grandes mulheres na paleontologia: Diana Mussa

🇬🇧 Diana Mussa, born in Campos dos Goytacazes on January 19, 1932, and passed away in Rio de Janeiro on May 8, 2007, was a renowned Brazilian geologist and paleobotanist, globally recognized for her expertise in Devonian flora. She was a trailblazer in this field in Brazil and also a respected professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

The youngest of five siblings, Diana was the daughter of Lebanese parents. Since childhood, she harbored the dream of becoming a naturalist, driven by her deep interest in nature and natural processes. In 1952, she moved to Rio de Janeiro to study Natural History at the National Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences, and Letters of the University of Brazil (now UFRJ), where she also pursued Geology. During this time, she had the opportunity to intern under renowned researchers such as Dr. Fernando R. Milanez at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden and Dr. Calvino Mainieri at the São Paulo Institute of Technological Research.

In the late 1950s, she joined the Convent of the Poor Clares to volunteer with underserved populations, and she was sent to Manaus. Between 1958 and 1961, she lived in Tefé, conducting research on fossilized woods and participating in missionary activities. After returning to Rio de Janeiro for health treatment, she joined the National Commission of Nuclear Energy and commenced her postgraduate studies in 1973 at the Institute of Geosciences of the University of São Paulo, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Antonio Carlos Rocha-Campos. Her thesis, defended in 1982, on the Permian Lignitafofloras of the Paraná Basin, Brazil (States of São Paulo and Santa Catarina), was approved with distinction.

Diana became a researcher at the National Department of Mineral Production and later worked at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro, where she became an Adjunct Professor of Paleobotany in 1993. Throughout her career, she described approximately 30 genera of fossilized plants, leaving behind an important legacy in the form of her collection of fossil wood slides. Additionally, she was a founding member of the Brazilian Society of Paleontology and a member of various other international and national organizations in her field. Her name inspired the naming of the genus Mussaeoxylon seclusum Merlotti 1998, for Gondwanan fossil gymnosperm wood from Brazil, and the species Glossopteris mussae Ricardi-Branco et al. 1999, for new Permian fossil leaves from São Paulo.

🇧🇷 Diana Mussa, nascida em Campos dos Goytacazes em 19 de janeiro de 1932 e falecida no Rio de Janeiro em 8 de maio de 2007, foi uma renomada geóloga e paleobotânica brasileira, reconhecida mundialmente por sua expertise na flora do devoniano. Ela foi a pioneira nesse campo no Brasil e também uma respeitada professora na Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.

Filha de pais libaneses, Diana era a caçula de cinco irmãos. Desde a infância, cultivava o sonho de se tornar naturalista, devido ao seu profundo interesse na natureza e nos processos naturais. Em 1952, mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro para estudar História Natural na Faculdade Nacional de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras da Universidade do Brasil (atual UFRJ), onde também cursou Geologia. Durante esse período, teve a oportunidade de estagiar com renomados pesquisadores, como o Dr. Fernando R. Milanez no Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro e o Dr. Calvino Mainieri no Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas de São Paulo.

No final dos anos 1950, ingressou no Convento das Clarissas para realizar trabalho voluntário com populações carentes, sendo enviada para Manaus. Entre 1958 e 1961, viveu em Tefé, onde conduziu pesquisas sobre madeiras fósseis, além de participar de atividades missionárias. Após retornar ao Rio de Janeiro para tratamento de saúde, ingressou na Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear e iniciou sua pós-graduação em 1973 no Instituto de Geociências da Universidade de São Paulo, sob a orientação do Prof. Dr. Antonio Carlos Rocha-Campos. Sua tese, defendida em 1982, sobre as Lignitafofloras Permianas da Bacia do Paraná, Brasil (Estados de São Paulo e Santa Catarina), foi aprovada com distinção.

Diana tornou-se pesquisadora do Departamento Nacional de Produção Mineral e, mais tarde, passou a trabalhar no Museu Nacional, no Rio de Janeiro, onde se tornou Professora Adjunta de Paleobotânica em 1993. Ao longo de sua carreira, descreveu aproximadamente 30 gêneros de vegetais fósseis, deixando um legado importante na forma de sua coleção de lâminas de lenhos fósseis. Além disso, foi sócia-fundadora da Sociedade Brasileira de Paleontologia e membro de diversas outras organizações internacionais e nacionais ligadas à sua área de atuação. Seu nome inspirou o batismo do gênero Mussaeoxylon seclusum Merlotti 1998, para madeira fóssil gimnospérmica do Gondwana brasileiro, e da espécie Glossopteris mussae Ricardi-Branco et al. 1999, para novas folhas fósseis do Permiano de São Paulo.

My favorite flavor of Ricardis is when Roselyn reduces him to nothing but a pathetic blushing wet cat

I mean I don't blame the man like me too. Roselyn goes from adorable precious little angel to absolute badass queen that can step on me in a matter of seconds. Like Ricardis is incredibly valid

Another post about my feast gear. I'm just so proud of what we've got. The plates are actually from Kohl's originally but we got them from a silent auction. The bowls are from Prairie Edge in Rapid City. The napkins are linen ones, the placemats we stamped in a class at an event, the forks and spoons are from Ranger Reproductions, and the candles and cup covers are both site tokens from different events. The cups are period appropriate e-ware cups that would make sense for 600-1000 Scotland, thrown by Farolfus filius Ricardi (Northshield's current kmoas and soon to be newest Laurel). The sprang bag for the deck of cards was made by a local too (I forgot her name) and the deck of cards is all Irish mythological characters, with lots of good heraldry and knotwork and stuff. We also have some knives that really aren't period looking but those go on our belts and not in our basket.

A Learning Curve

The reliance on smartphones for interactions by Gen Z leads to a learning curve with the development of necessary social skills for interacting with people in person. This can be seen with Gen Z’s difficulty in developing and understanding critical nonverbal communication skills, discussed by Gabriela Riciardi with Quartz," Younger workers also need help with nonverbal cues—the kind that help you keep eye contact, express through gestures, and read a room.”(Ricardi 2023), proving the curve with Gen Zs skills social skills in the workplace.

The comfort and control provided when communicating through their phones and technologies can become a crutch for people leading to antisocial tendencies. This leads to an avoidance of in-person interactions. This furthers the severity of gen zs weakened social skills. This avoidance and subsequent weakening of social skills can have cascading effects on mental health and well-being. Without the nuanced understanding and practice of nonverbal cues and face-to-face interactions, Gen Z may find themselves feeling more anxious and less confident in social situations. This anxiety and lack of confidence can lead to a cycle of avoidance, where the comfort of digital interactions is preferred, further limiting opportunities to develop essential interpersonal skills.

Likewise, there are at least three cautio inscriptions in another manuscript, one of which states that it was a joint deposit by six people. The book is Lyra’s Postillae on the Bible (BodL, MS Bodley 251, mentioned previously for the high value in one of these pledge-inscriptions). Two of the inscriptions, dated 1401 and 1403, are almost illegible but still serve to indicate that this book was deposited multiple times. Not only was it used to secure loans on multiple occasions but also a more legible inscription indicates that in one instance at least six people were involved in using it to secure a loan. On 18 March 1402, the book was the surety of ‘Johannis Blew, Ricardi Courtenay, Roberti Newby, Wilelmi Oldeni, Philippi Morgan, magistri Thome <…>‘ who deposited it in the ‘Waugham Hussy’ chest. Richard Courtenay is the key figure in this group. He led an ambitious, successful, but relatively short life, and enjoyed the ‘special regard’ of Henry V. Richard’s influential uncle, William Courtenay, Archbishop of Canterbury, had bequeathed the book to him for his lifetime only. In short order, Richard pledged it to the loan chest with his friends. The cash raised by this joint pledge was 18 marks. Lovatt explains that one reason for two or more people to deposit a joint pledge was in order ‘to borrow more than the statutory limit’ from the chest, by combining their entitlements. This would have been necessary for pledges of especially valuable items. In the fifteenth century, then, pledge-inscriptions make it clear that sustainable books could and did circulate through many hands.

Saint-Vanne Apokalips en hervorming.

In die middel van hierdie artikel staan 'n brief geskryf deur abt Richard van Saint-Vanne iewers gedurende die eerste kwart van die elfde eeu. Die brief beskryf twee reise na die ander wêreld geneem deur twee monnike by die abdij van Saint-Vaast in Arras in 1011 en 1012. 'n Noukeurige lees van die brief toon aan dat agter wat blyk 'n standaard teks te wees, wat behoort tot die baie gewilde genre van anderwêreldreise, verberg 'n apokaliptiese boodskap van dringende waarskuwing dat die wêreld op die punt staan om sy einde te bereik. Die brief dien dus as bewysteks vir die bestaan van apokaliptiese spanning in die tydperk tussen n.C. 1000 en n.C. 1033, en dra as sodanig by tot die voortdurende debat oor die 'terrors of the year 1000'.

Afdeling brokkies

Die brief

Richard se brief begin met 'n kort inleiding, gevolg deur die agtergrond van die eerste visioen. 'n Monnik in Saint-Vaast-abdy word siek en word baie swak, totdat dit lyk of hy dood is. Die monnike begin hom voorberei vir begrafnis, maar terwyl Richard, sy abt, sy liggaam ondersoek, begin die monnik se lippe beweeg, en in 'n fluisterstem beskryf hy sy siel se ses uur lange reis in die ander wêreld. Wanneer die monnik uit sy liggaam vertrek, word die monnik se siel deur drie bose geeste daarvan beskuldig dat hulle 'n klein mes verloor het

Die verborge apokalips

Met die eerste lees lyk dit of Richard se brief goed inpas by die didaktiese genre van anderwêreldreise. Albei visioene sentreer op monnike wie se siele hul liggame verlaat weens ernstige siekte; die siele word onmiddellik geoordeel vir hul aardse sondes nadat hulle van hul liggame geskei het, en word dan gered en deur 'n engel na die verskillende streke van die ander wêreld gelei. Beide anderwêreldreisigers ontmoet die siele van mense wat hulle op aarde geken het en word bygestaan deur die gebede van die lewendes. En sodra hulle voltooi het

Apokalips en hervorming

Apokaliptiese verwagtinge het nie net die passiewe vrees behels wat so dramaties deur die 'romantiese' historici uitgebeeld is nie, maar ook 'n aktiewe afwagting. Die dringende gevoel van imminence, soos Richard Landes dit gedefinieer het, het die oproep tot vernuwing en hervorming ontketen.38 Richard van Saint-Vanne was die abt van 21 abdiye en het al die abdye onder sy beheer hervorm. In sy brief die behoefte aan hervorming in sy kloosters en sy totale verbintenis tot die kloosterlewe, soos ingeskryf in die

Gevolgtrekkings

Richard van Saint-Vanne se brief, 'n teks geskryf in die deurslaggewende jare tussen die millennium van die inkarnasie en dié van die passie, wat baie duidelik stel dat die wêreld oor 'n paar jaar gaan eindig, is 'n belangrike toevoeging tot die groeiende korpus bewyse vir die bestaan van apokaliptiese verwagtinge aan die begin van die eerste millennium. Die brief beweer nie net dat die einde van die tyd op hande is nie, maar dit dui op die bestaan van geweldige apokaliptiese spanning. Die siel word herhaal

Apokalips en hervorming

In medio huius articuli extat epistola Richardi abbatis Sancti-Vanne quondam saeculo primo quarto decimo. Litterae duas navigationes ad superos mundos a duobus monachis captas describit apud abbatiam Saint-Vaast in Atrebatensi anno 1011 et 1012. Diligens epistolae lectio manifestat post id quod videtur esse norma textus, ad valde popularem genus pertinens. superna itinera iter facit, apocalypticum nuntium abscondit urgentis admonitionis mundum ad finem suum perventurum. Littera sic argumentatur pro exsistentia tensionis apocalypticae in periodo inter A.D. M ET A.D. 1033, et sic confert ad perpetuam disputationem de terroribus anni M'.

Sectionis excerpta

Epistula

Ricardi epistolae aperit cum brevi praefatione, subsequitur curriculum ad primam visionem. Monachus in abbatia Saint-Vaast infirmatur et admodum debilis fit, donec mortuus esse videatur. Monachi eum ad sepulturam incipiunt praeparare, sed ut Ricardus, abbas eius, corpus examinat, labia monachi movere incipiunt, et susurra voce animam suam sex horarum iter apud inferos describit. Et recedens a corpore, accusatur anima monachi a tribus malis spiritibus amittendi cultellum

Apocalypsis abscondita

Lectio prima, Epistola Ricardi in didacticam genus aliorum orbis itinerum bene decere videtur. Ambo visiones in monachis versantur, quorum animae ob gravem morbum corpora sua relinquunt; animae statim iudicantur de suis terrenis peccatis, post discessum a corporibus, et tunc ab angelo salvantur et ducuntur ad varias mundi regiones. Ambo peregrini in terris animabus hominum cognitis occurrunt et viventium precibus adiuvantur. Et cum compleverint

Apocalypsis et reformatio

Exspectationes Apocalypticas implicabant non solum timorem passivum, qui tam dramatice ab historicis "romanticis", sed etiam actuosam exspectationem expressit. Urget instantiae sensus, ut definivit Richardus Landes, vocationem renovationis et reformationis urget. 38 Ricardus de Sancto Vanne 21 abbatiarum abbas fuit et omnes abbatias sub eius cura reformavit. In litteris suis de necessitate reformationis in suis monasteriis ac de toto officio vitae monasticae, prout inscribitur

conclusiones

Litterae Richardi a Saint-Vanne, textus in decretorio annis inter millennium incarnationis et passionis scriptus, qui clarissime declarat mundum paucis annis finitum esse, magni momenti est accessio corporis crescentis. evidentiae de exsistentia exspectationum apocalyticorum in tractu primi millennii. Littera non solum asserit finem temporis instet, sed indicat tremendae intentionis apocalypticae exsistentiam. Repetita est anima

"Instead of using the “block,” Musk suggested that X users can use the mute feature instead. Currently, however, the social network’s mute button simply removes an account’s posts from your timeline without unfollowing or blocking that account — whereas blocking an account prevents that account from viewing your public posts on X. When you “mute” X/Twitter accounts, they are still able to reply to your public posts (you just don’t get notifications, and replies are hidden from your view by default)."

--'excerpt

This THIS is what they all been threatening to lose their shit and fearing the stalker armed-forces will get them over!!?

They'll be able to read their tweets still?

How does that make you more vulnerable? Again it seems this attacks the pride of clout while maximizing X as a platform (still see ads or connect to others in system)

DMs still have blocks

What the h*** people everybody's been talking about like he's removing all barriers and fences to being attack when in fact this is how most platforms I've been a part of and focused on have worked for decades

And to be honest I kind of found that feature annoying. You can still curate your timeline and your interaction with Twitter I mean x

More importantly the point of x isn't to be a point of individual digital identity it's supposed to be an enormous matriculation point so that that way they can sell ads or create or facilitate interaction and business

But the way some people have been talking it up I mean I admit I held off too but this isn't even that deep in the article like 3 paragraphs down

And real people who have serious opinions and influence for those opinions have been talking it up John ricardi people like that

What the f*** I just lost a s*** load of respect for people

No wait this is how they've always acted isn't it?

That's why they like Twitter or more accurately did effectively they didn't have to hold themselves to any account as a journalist/editorial then they would inadvertently but very reliably create drama and then be able to report on that drama

Don't expect some individuals to get it all right out the gates but when you follow their Twitter feed you assume that you're getting information from an authoritative source especially if they use it as their primary professional point of contact with the public

And then they basically act like a rumor mill and a cat cluntil something happens and then suddenly it's news

No wonder they hate Elon Musk effectively he's destroyed their brand identity or the ability to curate their brand identity to everyone's captive audience

Even when I was growing up I was told that newspapers tend to slant intent how they present themselves to a certain viewpoint period for the intelligence yeah that have grown up under the rise of new media and social media and primarily relocated their platforms or even perhaps their individual careers there

Having the equivalent of a trendy I don't know bookstore gay club whatever the culture was for Twitter was awesome because that meant that 60 to 80% of the work was done for you and now all you had to do was the social hierarchy brinksmanship s***

Stir up s*** maybe white night a little for a big cause make sure you're talking to people who perhaps are curious or need you as an outlet or a hook of access

And then afterwards draw them to your actual websites where your views and clicks get you measures for success thus guaranteeing how you're viewed by your employer and perhaps even get bonuses

But elan's disruption of the overall culture and feel of the place has made it so instead of effectively being the equivalent of the Detroit Free Press only worldwide and through every possible Lens that's only allowed with that circumstance it's become more the entire news section with all sorts of specialties

Yes this has exposed you to hate groups as well as crazy and invalid and false ideas but it wasn't doing that otherwise it was just those ideas were sort of in the lens

Such as all the news that's come out about say covid measures or Johnny Depp's trial or what have you

The only viewpoint for consensus was very carefully directed

Sort of like what happens with different brand identities Disney has never been the family friendly company even when that was their brand even when Walt was alive they were doing all sorts of s*** and needless to say none of the actual people that made up the company or how they did business ever matched that image

But it was important for brand identity because that's what they were trying to sell and at each level of engagement they tried to focus on that

So if say Disney goes under very likely just to keep that brand loyalty as well as influence and prestige someone's going to probably make it so that everything looks the same but it operates especially behind the scenes and who gets the money on top and has Fidel say is what changes if apple bought them

Even though they are considerably poorer than apple or at least in Dire Straits that they would need to buy out

And that's what's going on with Twitter it's not so much that the platforms gotten that much less operatively Unreliable or full with more deception it's that it's more a matter of what used to be a pretty left-leaning Tech liberty Prague culture that was maintained by algorithms that then slipped a bunch of other stuff under that well surface flow the foam of the river of information

Or perhaps the shiny river boats on the river of s***

Has suddenly changed what's their advertising in their aesthetics same s*** river but now everybody's not as equally entertained so they're noticing all that s***

It's because the boats have changed they have to put out their own and they're absolutely terrified because chances are they either never learned or have atrophied in the skills in order to do their own boating

I mean yeah these are changes and for goodness sex I don't believe that the choice in name change was brilliant by any means

But putting the effect of speed limits as well as trying to focus how the platform is going to be a platform for use as opposed to a community plus identity for purpose and lifestyle might honestly be a decent enough change

Not even going to call him a super genius or brilliant or not motivated by ego or insecurity or a bunch of other things. that describes everyone I f****** know

But at the very least even if it's a failed or dumb idea it's kind of one of those dumb ideas you half to do in order to come up koran the idea that actually works because it's semi viable or has a point to it at the very least it's 1 of those things you have to do in order to learn how to succeed at not because you don't know anything but you have to know how to apply things in this particular instance

Then again maybe I'm just going completely bananas and there's lots of details and gaps that I haven't been payingattention too but for the most part when I use x it's pretty much the same for me period the names have changed I have noticed some more difficulty browsing in the sense that my browser will reset a number of times but aside from everybody screaming the sky is falling the sky doesn't seem to actually be falling

At best like your testimony of how people are being exposed to ideas that they absolutely despise which is more of a cultural trend and quite frankly it's kind of disturbing along the lines of oh the redneck/black people/gay people are moving into the neighborhood gotta leave.

To be fair it's a bit of the inverse of that where the incredibly progressive everyone's kind of on the same page stuff are dealing with the fact that people who don't like how they live or do things are more or less moving in or more accurately becoming more visible or not trying to blend in as much

Or worse requiring 10 to 25% more effort in order to not interact with and easier to see and notice

And yes I can see how that is annoying or inconvenient but I'm thinking about how the reverse has been happening to them in terms of transvisibility LGBT normalization and mainstreaming

They haven't been arming the conservative anti all these people mob they've just stopped well marginalizing them period and as someone who's been marginalized for so long I don't like the idea of those tools being in use period because it's only a matter of fad sway or Convenience or profit until they decide that they're going to turn them on someone else and they'll have the surface level in order to do so

As illustrated with some particularly nasty # movements or bad ideas that had very good sources such as black lives matter or man I can't even remember the sexes of one you know the 1 we're powerful we're and upper classmen who had lots of power Influence history and development and aid to various left-wing progressive and liberal causes turned out to also be perpetuating some of the most grotesque crimes that we somehow thought to ourselves were an outgrowth of someone's political affiliation, regional locations or class? And then when that wasn't enough added on sex and race too.

along with religion but for some reason not religions based on their beliefs, member actions, histories, and values but you know labels and particular personal disdain for the influence that they've had on you throughout your life.

Social media taught us how to confuse bias with wisdom with prejudice with intelligence

And it did this well for lack of a better word without any regard to what your beliefs leaning or what have you were

Because it was able to allow you to jump to the right conclusion without all the thinking and researching and struggle and mistakes and double-checking

And if you ever have a reason to doubt yourself or just want reinforcement you could just make sure that you joined the right flow

I'm not even against the idea of echo chambers such as they might be

But you cannot make a large public platform one because that's effectively going to marginalize people's ability to find their own echo chamber and develop influence and people made it very clear that's what they wanted

But they always did so under the guise of individual safety or a collective need for society to make them safe in order to not be hurt

But this whole I need my block instead of my mute function kind of well rips off the mask for me Particularly how much it tries to play into reaction and ignorance I suppose to just you know letting us assess this

At the very least if this was coming out of place of safety conturn and these are the people who say one of control guns then this is your practice run for how you remove the ability of people in order to act a sensor another or act against another And then develop new behaviors and habits to your new restrictions

Even while they provide you presumably the same level of effective protection
