ritorno alla solita vita

Ho letto il libro di Bettiza "L'esilio", in cui si capiscono molti punti rimasti oscuri nel libro precedente, "Il libro perduto". La città mai nominata è Zara, e alcuni dei personaggi principali sono realmente esistiti, anche se meno esagitati che nella storia romanzata.

YOKOUSO contest!!!!

Il blog Youkoso Italia, il cui azzeccato sottotitolo è "Il ponte virtuale tra Giappone ed Italia", è un sito su cui trovare informazioni interessanti ed altre cose tutte Made in Japan!

Ho scoperto una comunità web di appassionati di media, SciVee,
una community di appassionati di screenplays, sceneggiature, e commedie,
vi si trovano tutorials per creare screencast, pubcast, podcast, postercast
e tutti i nuovi video scientifici degli autori dei posters di Experimental Biology 2008.
Su SciVee ho trovato anche il link di questa seconda edizione del FEST, il festival internazionale dei media sulla divulgazione scientifica di Trieste, iniziativa utile anche per i docenti delle superiori....


FEST, the International Science Media Fair take place in Trieste for its second year from April 16-20, 2008.

FEST is a laboratory of ideas which experiments new forms of dialogue between science and the general public, a science communications festival which features books, journals, radio, tv, web and blogs presented thematically in a large, multimedia and interactive bookstore.

The bookstore forms the hub of a rich programme of events, encounters, conferences,
exhibitions, performances and cinema on current scientific issues, enabling visitors to
gain a better understanding of the world in which we live. In keeping with Trieste’s multicultural identity and vocation, a city which has always been a bridge between different cultures and a crossroads between East and West and North and South, FEST promotes dialogue among the different forms of knowledge, both scientific and in the humanities, which constitute human culture.

FEST visitors can attend and participate in discussions and debates on the major issues which link present-day society to scientific and technological development: from health communication to the challenge of climate change, from research in developing countries to web 2.0 and the relationship between science and literature. This year’s special focus will be on neuro-ethics, or the developments and implications of research on the brain and mind.

The Experimental Biology Conference 2008
took place in San Diego on April 5- 9. SciVee had a booth near the poster presentation area in the exhibitors hall and SciVee team members went around collecting poster presentations on video.
