Here is the original patent of the coffee moka, by Alfredo Bialetti, dated back 1933. I do not know now you, but I am working from home and I feel the need to acknowledge my primary source of operational capacity.#AcademicChatter

I love to argue.

[UCL Risk & Disaster Reduction @UCLRDR]

This afternoon’s student debate begins, discussing whether or not the future will be more resilient! Professor Maria Kett and Dr @Susannahfisher propose not, and Dr @thaisacomelli and Dr Gianluca Pescaroli @dr_Pesco argue in favour!

Academia is either:
- Do you have capacity in the next 40 minutes to review this book?
