I phoned cytogeneticistAntonio Lima-de-Faria in Sweden earlier today to wish him Happy Birthday 100! I don’t personally know anyone else who is 100 and certainly no other scientist still producing papers and books at 100!
He is one of science’s treasures—indeed: “Knight of the North Star,” as decorated by the king of Sweden.
Antonio told me there was a concert today in his home town in Portugal in celebration of his birthday. And a party in his rose garden atop a fjord in Lund, Sweden with family and close friends.
Again, Happy Birthday, Antonio! We very much look forward to your next paper!
I'm the author of five books: The Altenberg 16: An Exposé of the Evolution Industry; The Origin of Life Circus: A How To Make Life Extravaganza; The Paradigm Shifters: Overthrowing 'the Hegemony of the Culture of Darwin'; Royal Society: The Public Evolution Summit; and the most recent---Darwin Overthrown: Hello Mechanobiology.
My reports have appeared in the Financial Times, The Economist, Forbes, Newsday, Archaeology, Astrobiology, Connoisseur, Omni, Huffington Post, Progressive Review ("How Bush Got Bounced From Carlyle Board"), CounterPunch, Scoop Media and other publications, as well as on PBS, CBC and MBC.
More than a dozen of my stories related to the Rome antiquities conspiracy trial were featured in Harvard Law School's Art Law Syllabus 2008.
I've covered the wars: Colombian Drug War, Gulf War, Sudan, and Kashmir (from both the Indian and Pakistani sides of the conflict).
And I’ve been a guest on Charlie Rose, McLaughlin and various Fox Television News programs talking about those crises and others.
For some years along the way, I was a runway fashion model for legends Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass, Giorgio Sant' Angelo and so many more.
