I’m seeing some “free market” simps defending Nature’s 12k open access fees. Guess it’s time to bring this back around.

In un palazzo di via Ginevra ha la sede ESMO, con 35’000 associati. Solo la statunitense ASCO raccoglie un numero maggiore di oncologi medici. Un "impero" nato a metà degli anni ’90 in un piccolo ufficio di Besso https://t.co/XMfosZx42M di @PengueSimone

Terrific example of the science communication I love watching (and making!)

This short film on #microbiology leverages emotions to deliver science and thoughts. Highly recommended!

[Aeon Magazine @aeonmag]

With their short film ‘Wrought’, the Canadian filmmakers Joel Penner and Anna Sigrithur deploy a dazzling series of timelapse sequences to render the often hidden work of microbes as a visual feast https://t.co/HaXDav5z6C

To everyone below 30y who enjoys science communication: go for the Prix Média Newcomer!

It is a unique opportunity to give space to your ideas (with a good budget) and deep dive into this field. To me, it was a life changing experience!

Applications open until 15.05.23

Hot off the press!

Thanks a lot @Schreiberin, @snsf_ch and @academies_ch for the opportunity to explore Ticino's amazing science!

[Horizons Magazine @horizons_en]

Is Switzerland’s sunniest canton now its ‘Silicon Valley’? On a trip to Ticino, @PengueSimone investigates the research landscape south of the Gotthard Tunnel and the innovations that have fallen here on fertile ground.

Omg your paper is written so elegantly I can't even understand it

[Simone Pengue @PengueSimone]

@MadS100tist 100% normal in Switzerland if you take your shoes off and there are enough seats. 7 years of commuting taught me something

DM for pdf (but don't tell the editor..)

Finally got a physical copy of my second book chapter! A (bold?) comparison between Dino #Buzzati's (aka "Italian Kafka") «The seven messengers» and black hole physics

"Buzzati e il confine", Peter Lang, 2022

A meeting point between literature and science, a bit more below

[Simone Pengue @PengueSimone]

This short story about a prince's never-ending journey towards the borders of his realm shares a lot with the (physically correct) exploration of a black hole:

- 1 freely falling observer
- 1 distant stationary observer
- event horizon
- spacetime distortion

I did not get what it is, but everyone is retweeting this undoubtedly cool clip

(In my defense, I still gotta open the link)

[Berkeley Lab @BerkeleyLab]

This atomic-scale movie upends a 100-year-old theory! Thanks to record-breaking 🔬 video resolution at our @molecularfoundry, scientists have discovered 🔎 how atomic-scale defects direct #nanoparticle growth. Check it out ⬇️

And my article got the front cover! I thank Prof. Anna Valente from @supsi_ch for the inspiring interview (pic not mine)

[Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz @academies_ch]

Was haben die #Wissenschaft und das Wasser gemeinsam? 💧 Wie packt man das Nachwuchsproblem mit @MintSuisse an? Wie sieht das Globalbudget 2021 aus? 💰 Die Antworten auf diese Fragen finden Sie im neuen Jahresbericht 2021 der @academies_ch!

Woooooooo

[IMNANO @imnano_official]

Interview with @PengueSimone is out! Listen to his experiences as a science journalist while being a PhD candidate at the University of Basel as well as decoding scientific phenomenon in literary arts!

Season 1 ends with a bang and we will be back soon!

[Simone Pengue @PengueSimone]

@MadS100tist First thing I’d do: cmnd + A -> justify text

[Simone Pengue @PengueSimone]

It has been really fun sitting “on the other side of the microphone”! Thanks a lot Irfani and Monika!

By the way, it’s been exactly one year since we shot the first footage of Forgotten Data at Lugano’s dump 🎥

[IMNANO @imnano_official]

NanoLife Interview with @PengueSimone coming this Wednesday!

TEASER #2
He enjoys finding parallels between literary arts work and scientific phenomena. It's a real life scientific mystery adventure! (https://t.co/SkoXUZqIEC)
