'Our main objective is to show the power that comes from the favela.' Activist eurenesilva explains why he's focused on correcting the narrative on favelas, the majority-Black working-class neighborhoods that surround Rio de Janeiro
a community newspaper covering the majority-Black working-class neighborhoods that surround Rio de Janeiro, reads like the plot of a children’s movie.
In 2005, 11-year-old Rene Silva persuaded teachers at his school in the Complexo de Alemão district to let him join the student newspaper—despite protests from older kids who thought he was too young. Within months he outgrew that gig, recruiting four other children to help him launch his own newspaper covering the entire favela, as“I used to look through papers and I didn’t see the favela I knew represented,” he says.
Silva still gets the impression that many journalists writing on such problems have “never stepped foot in a favela.” But he says he is optimistic about the journey he started nearly two decades ago. He has “a lot of hope” that currentNow working primarily on fundraising and the long-term direction ofSilva says he aims to “continually expand” the organization.

Long-term projections of the impacts of warming temperatures on Zika and dengue risk in four Brazilian cities using a temperature-dependent basic reproduction numberAuthor summary Rising temperatures through climate change are expected to increase arboviral disease pressure, so understanding the impact of climate change on newly emerging diseases such as Zika is essential to prepare for future outbreaks. However, because disease transmission may be less effective at very high temperatures, it is uncertain whether risk will uniformly increase in different regions. Given the nonlinear relationship between temperature and many important biological vector traits, mathematical modeling is a useful tool for predicting the impact of temperature on arbovirus risk. We used a temperature-dependent infectious disease transmission model to derive a temperature-dependent basic reproduction number. We then used historical temperature data and temperature projections for the years 2045–2049 to forecast Zika risk in four cities in Brazil under various climate change scenarios. We predict an overall increase in arbovirus risk, as well as extended risk seasons in cities that are not currently suitable for year-round spread, such as Rio de Janeiro. We also found little-to-no protective effect of increasing temperatures even in warmer climates like Manaus. Our results indicate that preparation for future Zika outbreaks (and of those of other arboviruses including dengue) should include the implementation of national disease surveillance and early detection systems.
