We look forward to seeing you at the week of Buon Vivere di Fo

We look forward to seeing you at the Buon Vivere di Forlì week from 9 al 19 September. Quest'anno abbiamo un tema tutto al "femminile plurale", a cui dedicheremo un workshop con partecipazione aperta al pubblico dal titolo "Storie di donne nelle professioni e nella ricerca: un esperimento di cittadinanza attiva".
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 11 September from hours 16 at 18. Do not miss!

The project, born from the Minerva collaboration - scientific popularization association, She is a scientist and Collettivo Monnalisa, it will offer an overview of the situation of gender equality in the scientific sectors and then involve the public and discuss the topic together, sharing experiences and points of view.

In rispetto delle disposizioni di sicurezza è richiesta dall'organizzazione l'esibizione del green pass (for people over i 12 years) e, to assign limited seats, booking via the following link: https://www.eventbrite.it/e/bv21-storie-di-donne-nelle-professioni-e-nella-ricerca-tickets-168559035613

Iceland, Spain, Ireland, Italy and many others.. If your holidays have brought you to one of these wonderful places you may have the great opportunity to observe a geological subject that has given rise to many legends: the columnar basalt!
The location and study of these outcrops throughout history has contributed, among other things, to the understanding of continental drift. But how can such a unique shape be formed? It all starts with a basalt-rich lava flow that begins to cool down very quickly (due to low temperatures, water or even permafrost!) in an area bounded by pre-existing rocks. As the casting begins to dry and cool, vertical splits begin to be created at angles of approximately 120 °. The mystery of the 120 ° angles has been revealed by recent experimental tests; in fact the "Y" junctions (the areas in which 3 angles of 3 different units touch each other), they are formed in response to numerous swellings and contractions probably due to the convective motions of the cooling magma, giving rise to these uniquely regular forms.
If you have the opportunity to see the columnar basalts in person, know that you are observing an incredible piece of history! (and tag us in the photos!).

Our mission

Promote scientific culture in society

Disclose

We combine the scientific expertise of experts and the needs of the public in order to provide information that is accessible to all.

Involve

Everyone can contribute to making science fun and challenging. For this reason the heterogeneity of the skills of our members and collaborators, allows a better dissemination of knowledge.

To merge

We collaborate with numerous local and web realities in order to spread scientific culture and fight disinformation.
