Quand'è che abbiamo smesso di essere uno stato sovrano?
Chi governa realmente in questo paese?
E chi tutela i cittadini che hanno il diritto di manifestare, scioperare senza la supervisione di uno stato straniero e criminale?

Every flood, fire, and storm can carry a story of livelihoods and homes destroyed.

On the EU Day for the Victims of the Global Climate Crisis, we honour those affected by its impact and act for a safer future.

By preparing our homes, infrastructure, economy, and health systems, we protect lives.
A digitally illustrated scene depicting two members or the rescue team and one individual paddling a small inflatable boat through deep floodwaters in a residential area. The water reaches halfway up the doors and windows of houses, and partially submerged red cars are floating around. The background and general colour scheme are blue. The text reads: 'EU Day for the Victims of the Global Climate Crisis.' A European Union flag is positioned in the bottom right corner.

Quando finirà il caldo anomalo?

L'ondata di calore che da giorni sta opprimendo l'Italia e gran parte d'Europa rientra nei fenomeni estremi ampiamente previsti dai modelli climatici. E sia ben chiaro: nei prossimi anni tali eventi saranno più frequenti, intensi, duraturi e precoci. 1/5

Gedeone, my #sourdough starter, is turning 5 soon! 🦠✨ He lived in 3 countries, survived a jar crash on a plane, a contamination, freezing, and an occasionally negligent mum. He's devoured kilos of any flour (my favourite is buckwheat) and adores basking in the Catalan sun ☀️ I'm so in love with him!

One of the bits of #biochemistry that never ceases to mesmerize me is #fermentation. You take a bunch of yeasts and lactobacilli naturally present in the air, flour, water and your hands, you give them some love & carbs and BOOM: a soft, spongy loaf smelling like heaven 🥖💖🤤

So thrilled to share my first paper as a first author. In these in vitro reconstitutions we observe how purified #spindle #proteins interact with #microtubules using #TIRF #microscopy 🔬👩🏻‍🔬
Grateful to those magic brains of the @surreylab.bsky.social for all the support along the way! 🫂

New: Colombo et al. @surreylab.bsky.social show that NuMA is a mitotic dynein adaptor that binds and caps microtubule minus ends, explaining how dynein, NuMA, dynactin, and Lis1 focus microtubule minus ends at mitotic spindle poles https://buff.ly/41aj9F9

Se acabó! I finally got a #PhD 🎓🥂
4 years of tears & anxiety mixed with euphoria, the most genuine laughs & precious friendships. Fabulously chaotic.
Thanks to all those big little #proteins, inside my body and inside the #microscopy chambers 🧪🔬✨
