As Ciamician wrote: “Science has no insurmountable barriers within, nor boundaries without; its path is ascending, always ascending.” For this reason, this Medal is not an endpoint, but a new beginning toward even more ambitious goals. Ad maiora!✨

Grateful to @socchimita.bsky.social for this Medal and to all who supported my nomination. I dedicate it to my mentors, colleagues and students along my journey between Bari, Pisa and Parma, and to the dearest people who have always encouraged me.

Chiral diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole dyes with different substitution symmetry: impact of adamantyl groups on the photo-physical properties in solution and thin films

Here we propose a comparative study on four chiral 1,4-diketo-3,6-dithienylpyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole (DPP) dyes with different substitution symmetry on the lactam moieties: (i) symmetrically N-substituted...

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field
