... considers seriously impartiality. Even when we want to be completely impartial we are biased by our own cultural lens & background.

Interesting training, but I am still skeptical. Also I believe most of the weight should be at institutional level not on individuals. 7/7

Today, during #PhD supervision training at @polimi, there was an interesting discussion related to #ethics in #research and ethics in #PhDsupervision.

I was a bit skeptical on the statement that researchers (#PhDstudents included) can be absolutely... 1/n

Cappuccino alle 15.00 in IT: 1 sec di sguardi scomodi degli altri clienti intorno. Ed io che penso è un caffè mica una bomba (o pizza + ananas). È più pesante la paella e tanti si azzardano a mangiarla di notte (e presa già fatta del super). Anch'io giudico ma non c'è lo sguardo.

Great catching up with my former boss at Lanpro (UK) today! Did an informal online CPD, showing some research that could be replicated in sp. plan. practice. Almost 3 years there, 8-10 years ago, but meeting him felt like yesterday! Some people just remain in your mind :)

It was truly an honor to receive the Mario Pavan Award 2023 for my PhD thesis, defended in 2021 at @univbordeaux & @UniTrento, while working as researcher at @LIST_Luxembourg!

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the award ceremony at #Varese.
