Visionary and driven by challenges. Inspired by Dante's pursuit of knowledge, Galileo's resilience, and Mandela's determination. Believer in "Carpe Diem," the power of imagination, and that a simple smile can change the world. #NeverGiveUp
In March 2026, @i3suporto.bsky.social hosts a hands-on course on #AFM, bulk #rheology and nanoindentation — a deep dive into the mechanics of #biomaterials, #tissues and #organoids.

Guess who’s giving one of the lectures? 😉
Still a few spots available. Don’t miss it.

Too many #students use #ChatGPT as a shortcut instead of a tool.
If you don’t understand the problem, any answer looks correct.
AI should help you refine what you already know — not replace learning.
There are no shortcuts to thinking. 💭📚

💧 Great feedback from my Fluid Mechanics 2 students!

“Best course I’ve ever taken… I even dream about it!”
When Fluid Mechanics enters REM sleep, you know teaching has reached another phase. 😄

I’ll be in Kraków a day early for AERC2026, co-teaching the short course “Microrheology: from Fundamentals to Applications” on 13 April. From OT and AFM to DLS and hybrids — a full tour before the conference kicks off. Join us if you can! #AERC2026 #Rheology #Microrheology

Honoured to receive the 2025 Annual Award of the British Society of Rheology! 🎉🙏
This recognition of my contributions to rheology means a lot, and I look forward to delivering the Award Lecture at the Midwinter Meeting in Edinburgh. 🏴✨

🌍💡 Small choices, big impact.

We often think that sustainability requires grand gestures or cutting-edge technologies. But sometimes, the difference starts with something as ordinary as soap.

📉 Most models predict: the stiffer the polymer, the weaker the network.
📈 But our new simulation study shows: G₀ ∝ Lₚ^⅔ — stiffness strengthens the network.
A paradox still unresolved in concentrated semiflexible polymer solutions. The search for a predictive model goes on.

📚✨ A must-see stop: the Kyoto International Manga Museum.
Among thousands of volumes and historic gems… I found him: Kenshiro, rightful heir of the Divine School of Hokuto.
A dive into childhood and legend. 💥👊

#BobDylan asked in 1962: “How many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?”
Sixty years later, the question still blows in the wind—while Gaza bleeds and the so-called “democracies” wake up too late.

📌 What does it mean to be a poet in wartime?
To apologise for survival.
To carry the shame of safety.
A haunting, visceral poem by Hend Jouda, from Gaza—where words are both witness and wound.

Did you know? The Pastiera Napoletana has ancient roots tied to #Naples’ grid of cardini (N–S) and decumani (E–W) — streets that shaped the soul of the city. 🇮🇹🥧✨

Ah, the slow burn of #impact! My most-cited #SpringerNature article in 2024 was actually published in 2018: 'A one-step procedure to probe the viscoelastic properties of cells by Atomic Force Microscopy.' Eventually, they’ll master it. No rush, academia. #ScienceTakesTime 😅
