Tomas Kapler wrote in a post from the #WomenInScience series that Adéla Kochanovská, born Němejcová, discovered a hidden flaw in the armored casings of grenades using X-rays. According to him, in the storage facility, 60 out of 100 pieces ended up as scrap due to cracking; Kochanovská changed the hardening process and reduced the defect rate to a few percent. She became the first woman to obtain the title of professor at the Czech Technical University after the age of fifty. Kapler stated that Kochanovská was born on March 8, 1907, in Silesian Ostrava, where Czech, Polish, and German were commonly mixed. Her father, František Němejc, was a mining engineer, and her mother, Eleonora, née Maurerová, spoke several languages, was a photographer, and played the piano. Her mother wished for her daughter to pursue a musical career, while her uncle, academic painter Augustin Němejc, guided her towards painting. #ŽenyVeVědě #ČVUT #Inovace (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that some airlines intended to apply the U.S. OFAC law in Colombia due to his ties with Colombian individuals. He asserted that this legislation did not apply in Colombian territory and that for it to do so, the country would need to change its Constitution through a Constituent Assembly. Petro said that OFAC had stopped focusing on drug traffickers and that, according to him, people opposed to the genocide in Gaza were included on its lists. He claimed that he was sanctioned for his speech before the UN and for asking for the formation of a United Nations army to defend Gaza, which would include the Colombian battalion deployed in Sinai to protect Palestinian children. He also accused the DEA of spending a year searching for and fabricating evidence regarding alleged links of his with drug trafficking. He said that drug traffickers whom he himself extradited, and who he claimed wanted to kill him, were the ones who believed those accusations. He maintained that Colombian drug trafficking had political influence, but that it was not found in progressivism, which, according to him, the narcos had pursued and attacked. Petro accused drug trafficking of supporting extreme right-wing ideas and stated that Colombian drug traffickers had access to the White House while poor farmers and people transporting small amounts of drugs through the Caribbean were being pursued. He added that drug traffickers with judicial agreements in the United States were moving shipments in submarines and had fleets of planes, and asserted that cocaine traveled in containers from companies of presidents who met with Donald Trump. Finally, Petro claimed that alias Fito contradicted journalist Vicky by saying he did not know him and that, instead, he was a friend and partner of the person who accused him. #Colombia #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial (translated)
