Captured today: a fallstreak hole, formed when supercooled droplets suddenly freeze within a cloud layer. A striking example of atmospheric microphysics relevant to climatology and physical geography. #Meteorology #Weather #Atmosphere #Clouds #Science #Portugal

Presented my research on Portuguese border regions at the XV Geography Congress. Strong debate on socio-spatial inequalities, cross-border governance and INTERREG/POCTEP. Grateful for the engagement and insights. #CrossBorderRegions #TerritorialCohesion #Interreg #POCTEP #PropositiveGeography

Last day of the 21st ESP Congress. That bittersweet feeling already arrives as we part from colleagues and friends. Closing with an inspiring Keynote by Prof. Franz Trautinger “Photodermatology – Quo Vadis?” Knowing the past is essential to shaping the future. #ESPCongress2025 #Photobiology

In Portugal’s low-density areas, the 39 border municipalities with Spain are often overlooked. For me, they will be a true research treasure: peripheries that may become central to rethinking territorial cohesion. #BorderRegions #TerritorialCohesion #PublicPolicies

I’m truly honoured to serve again as the official photographer for the 21st Congress of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP), in Bari, Italy. I look forward to capturing the scientific highlights and human moments that make this congress so memorable! Photo credit: ESP website photobiology.eu

At the 32nd APDR Congress I voiced concerns as a geographer and citizen. Recent words on wildfires and a Público piece on populism highlight the urgency of rethinking Portugal’s low-density territories, like border regions. Research must help switch on new lights. #TerritorialCohesion #BorderRegions

At Fórum de Políticas Públicas 2025, Renato Miguel do Carmo brilliantly addressed socio-territorial inequalities and the persistence of dualisms in Portugal. The emergence of a “third spatiality” calls for smarter, fairer public action. #TerritorialCohesion #ISCTE #PolicyForum

After the talks, the debate opened to the floor. Crossed ideas, launched doubts, thoughtful silences. BEIRA OUTONO ends as any space of reflection should: with questions that remain and calls for action — from inertia to assertive political engagement at all levels. #Debate #Ideologies #BEIRAOutono

At the School of Health in Viseu, Miguel Poiares Maduro opened the BEIRA Observatory conference with a brilliant talk. Democracy, ideologies, and populism at the core. When politics fails to represent, populism fills the gap. #Democracy #PublicPolicy #Populism

🌍 Border Territories & Cohesion 🌍 Border regions face low population, economic disarticulation & weak public services. In my PhD at @UAveiro, I'm studying how to strengthen their cohesion & competitiveness. How can we revitalize them? Let’s talk! 👇 #PublicPolicy #TerritorialCohesion #BorderRegions
