Although I am originally from Bergamo/“close-by”, I think I went only once to #Turin (if ever). Over the next 6 months I’ll be there 3 times for conferences (starting today). 🤯

It seems like Turin is the place to be! Like my post-doc (from Turin) always says. 🤣🤣🤣

Spent my weekend…reviewing papers😭.Honestly, it’s great to see SO MANY papers submitted to great journals,but I am struggling with all these review requests😭(and I’d also like to focus on finishing our papers😭😅). But I know then others will struggle to review ours😭.How can this be the best system?😭

Exciting update (just for me 🤣): my post-doc paper has finally surpassed in citations my PhD paper. 🤩🤣 After a head-to-head race for a month, the “battle” between fibroblasts and G4s has ended after 8 years, with a clear winner taking the lead. #unstoppable #pdac #fibroblasts
