Why are we playing classical music faster and faster?

I just heard Mozart’s Requiem live — and it felt way too fast, as usual. Just for fun, I have compared two recordings: Karl Böhm (1971), by far my favorit, and Teodor Currentzis (2011).

The difference in tempo is remarkable: 👇

Great to have @jacopobertolotti.com with us today at @icmm-csic.bsky.social

Today, we had at @icmm-csic.bsky.social two Emmy Noether Distinguished researchers, Gloria Platero and Pilar López Sancho, in an open discussion on challenges and future of women in STEM and academia.

This is such a fantastic read!

I am really loving it.

📢 Next Tuesday 21, we will have a seminar by Prof. Miguel Ángel Muñoz on "Complexity, Brain, and Machines" to discuss 2024 Nobel Laureates in Physics.

📍 Material Science Institute, Madrid
⏰ 11:30 coffee, 12:00 seminar.

You are welcome!!

Today I give a seminar on "Optomechanics as a source of complexity" in the central CSIC building.

You might know it from "Money Heist".

Hoy hemos tenido a Gemma Marfany y Enrique Marcos en el ICMM hablándonos del Nobel de Medicina y Fisiología y Química de este año. Fascinante.

📢 Martes 10 de diciembre a las 11:30 primer colloquium ICMM dedicado a los Premios Nobel de Medicina y de Química.

Gemma Marfany (UB) nos hablará de los microRNAs y Enrique Marcos (IBMB) del diseño de proteínas. Podéis conversar con ellos informalmente en el café que se servirá a las 11:00.

"Complexity: the emerging science at the edge of order and chaos".

Anderson got so pissed off with Victor Weisskopf that he wrote "More is Different". I really like the anecdote.

In general, this book is very good but this insight into how science is funded is just pure gold.

Such a fantastic book and a very well described example of a human complex system collapsed.

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives (...) on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
