Still reading Livio & Szostak #book, “Is Earth Exceptional?” and I feel a little uncomfortable with the idea of “warm, little ponds” exposed to cycles of evaporation/dilution. I mean, stromatolites are 3.5 Ga old, while continents appeared much later. Where on land were those “ponds” located?

I suffered this very phenomenon on my own skin due in the 2013-2017 period. Four years, hundreds of applications, hundreds and hundreds of hours trying to make my CV better only to be entirely ignored 95% of the times. It’s disheartening and humiliating. youtu.be/CmaGMNYWTcY?...

Fighting ignorance and Fascists in the comments to the video has never been so boring as is now. How on Earth is possible to be this ignorant in 2025? Umberto Eco hit the mark when he stated "Social media have given the right of speech to legions of imbeciles". www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ApC...

I thought it impossible when, three years ago I decided to make an annotated version of my paperback copy of Bryson’s wonderful book. And yet, here we are, with a new, revised, updated edition of one of the most wonderful science books ever published. www.penguin.co.uk/_next/image?...

The rock is peppered with spots that could have been formed by microbes four billion years ago.

My first impression was not so enthusiastic. I had other expectations. I was wrong. The more I read this novel, the more I love it for all the messages it conveys, and for the still important discourse about science and religions, among other important things. #book

I warmy recommend anyone to get used to a low calorie diet soon. Climate change will hit agriculture like a truck, food will become less accessible. And less abundant.
All-time high temperature in Japan: 41.8°C.

Back to #history - after a brief interval among isotopic signatures, sediments and Oxygen levels through Earth’s history! This one has been acclaimed as a great #book and I am curious to see if the author really managed to present a complete narrative.

Today I visited the Egyptian Museum in Turin. 4th time. It’s an experience I reccommend to anyone. Either you are interested in Ancient Egypt or not, this museum will capture your attention, providing an exciting tour through mummies, artifacts of all types and captivating multimedial displays.

It’s a matter of fact that anytime I travel to Piedmont the weather is cloudy and rainy. Regardless of the season. I haven’t yet seen a sunny Turi yet. In like 39 years.

Donato Colangelo's review of The Gravediggers
5/5: I love to read Third Reich books. My bookshelf is riddled with them. “The Gravediggers” is a significant addition to my collection, as it delves deep into the last 74 days of the Weimar Republic....

I have played the first “The Last of Us” but not the second. That being said, I loved the second season of HBO’s series even though I believe Bella Ramsey was a miscast. #TV #TheLastofUs

Just found this title while browsing through books of the science section in a bookstore near home. The content - biochemistry for at least half of the book - makes me drool like a dog. Might find some valid counterbalance to Nick Lane’s narrative about the origin of life on Earth. 📚🧪 #book
