"Football for research" and not "kick the research," open letter to the Inter captain Javier Zanetti

Two years ago exactly I wrote to President Moratti Inter to ask him to make a small financial effort (compared to the salaries it pays its players) and fund the research of my laboratory for 3 years. The letter-appeal was also published by "Panorama" with the title "Dear Moratti I write" (see photo on blog), but unfortunately Moratti never replied, even with two lines of circumstances.

Saturday 6 and Sunday, November 7 all the teams in Serie A and B are on the field with a goal for the research initiative, sponsored by the AIRC. Some players like Javier Zanetti, Inter captain, will support the initiative. For this reason, a good Inter fan, I decided to write a Javier Zanetti on this blog and publish the text of the letter. The aim is to raise awareness of the healthy part of the football world than basic research in Italy has always been mistreated, "Cinderella" and suffers from the cuts the government and ignored by private foundations as AIRC and Telethon.


Dear Captain,

I am a professor of genetics at La Sapienza University of Rome, always Nerazzurri fans. Today and tomorrow the world of football will support the AIRC for cancer research and you're one of the main testimonal. This is an excellent initiative, but let me write to point out that in Italy, oltre alla ricerca applicata, sostenuta da fondazioni private, esiste anche la ricerca pubblica di base che ormai sta morendo per mancanza di fondi.

AIRC e TELETHON finanziano esclusivamente la ricerca applicata in campo biomedico , che ha come obiettivo primario l’utilizzo delle conoscenze per fini pratici (ad esempio, la cura di malattie genetiche e tumori). La ricerca di base , anche detta pura, ha invece come scopo l'avanzamento della conoscenza e la delucidazione di determinati fenomeni fisici, chimici, biologici. La ricerca di base produce idee , cultura, prodotti immateriali ed è un'attività fondamentale perchè rappresenta the real engine of scientific progress and technological : without basic research and applied research would not exist.

Unfortunately in Italy the basic research has always been ignored by politicians: just talk and pretty words, but few concrete actions. In recent years, moreover, the ministerial funds (already scarce), intended for university research projects, are now dramatically insufficient. Because of this, we university researchers are working in increasingly precarious conditions and difficult and many young people are fleeing abroad for lack of prospects. The situation is similar for public research institutions such as CNR.

Two years ago I launched the slogan " football for research" and not "kick the research , sending an appeal to the President Moratti that, unfortunately, to my great regret, he never responded. Now I turn to you and to the healthy part of football, to ask a real help to promote basic research and the many valid Italian researchers in universities and public research institutions at risk of having to abandon their studies for lack of financial and human resources.


I greet you with great respect and I wish you another year full of success!

Another beautiful thought of Tremonti & co: cut the foreign missions of researchers

Hear, hear! The new Financial requires the government to halve the costs for overseas missions of the employees. Reading the art. DL No 06/12 31 May 2010 78, it seems that the university is affected by this measure. I hope I'm wrong, maybe this will be the umpteenth gaffe Tremonti and the Berlusconi government, but the risk is big.
If true, it would enable more posts to the mobility of researchers and teachers abroad, an activity that stimulates the growth of youth, development and dissemination of knowledge. We will hit bottom? Or even worse lies ahead?

The measures of the Berlusconi government for Universities and Research: a "cure" that will kill the patient

UNIVERSITIES 'AND RESEARCH: A CURE THAT DO NOT KILL THE PATIENT

The financial measures that Berlusconi's government is expected to approve, among other things, heavy and indiscriminate cuts to university and public research. These cuts come after years of steady decline in funding, in the absence of a system, serious and internationally recognized research evaluation and education.

The university and research in Italy have no doubt need a cure, but does not kill the patient! For a real improvement are effective measures that introduce a rigorous and transparent evaluation system, in order to hit areas of unproductive and nepotism. Without this, the indiscriminate cutting of the Berlusconi government will penalize only the active and vital components of universities and research centers, those who work and produce for years, despite a thousand difficulties. If the measures are implemented, it will have devastating effects for the development of culture and technology from around the country.

Alison Abbott Nature comments on the sad moment of universities and public research, hacked to pieces by the Berlusconi government cuts

This is without doubt the worst moment ever crossed by universities and research in Italy, even if the journal Nature is dealing. Together with other colleagues we have sent comments to the journalist Alison Abbott, who wrote a nice piece about it (http://www.nature.com/news/2010/300610/full/466016b.html). Whoever wants to can participate.

How Much Would You Pay For A Personalized Gift

The Berlusconi government wants to cut the thirteenth of researchers and academics

Having already frozen shots salary of university teachers and researchers, the Berlusconi government now threatens to cut even the thirteenth. The measure also applies to police officers, police, judges, diplomats and teachers. It is nice to think of the last of a majority now in disarray.
It must be said that schools, universities and public research have always been the scapegoats for this and other governments. In fact, the indiscriminate cutting of Tremonti & co. have already brought to its knees these key areas for growth and cultural development of a civilized country, but now the bottom.
Rather than devote himself to "butcher" because Tremonti does not affect the revenues and privileges of the many castes in this country? To begin with, could halve the rich salaries and pensions of gold that are generously given to ministers and parliamentarians, reducing the many benefits of the highest paid politicians in the western world. It would be a nice gesture and a good economy.

Bathroom Remodeling, Building A Shower Niche

The Berlusconi government wants to cancel the scientific institutes of great value

for in the budget of the forthcoming decree of the Berlusconi government is expected suppression or amalgamation of a dozen public entities deemed "useless". Dramatically in the list are institutions of great value as the National Institute of Advanced Mathematics (INDAM), recently rated the number one Italian research institutions and the prestigious National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and the Zoological Station "A. Dohrn. " In particular, the Zoological Station of its kind is one of the most important research centers in the world, from the standpoint of scientific and historical, and its Scientific Council has three Nobel laureates in the biological camo.

the black list of cancellations but there is no trace of other public entities whose names and functions extravagant already mentioned in previous posts of this blog. Among these, in addition to the Opera National of the children of airmen, they deserve a special mention from the National Bank test firearms and the Institute of Charity Vittorio Emanuele III. The latter was founded to "exercise feature of care for the retired officers of the armed forces and the Guardia di Finanza, or their families." These structures, which until now only few had grasped the full importance, but thanks to recent and thorough analysis conducted by the government seems to have been deemed essential to the welfare and progress of our country. Hurrah!

Irony aside, these actions are the result of a political abomination, made up of actions seemingly irrational as head of government seriously, as Minister responsible and conscious might act as a guarantor? In reality, behind all this, as behind and indiscriminate cuts perpetrated against the University, lies a unique and precise design: the final destruction of public scientific research in Italy. We must fight this massacre!

Can Dogs Get Herpes On Their Lips?

offer for the Nobel Prize for peace.

Enter the text of the appeal submitted by Mr Sergio Pimpinelli to President Napolitano, because it proposes Emergency per premio Nobel per la pace. Chi è interessato può sostenere l'appello inviando una e-mail al seguente indirizzo:presidenza.repubblica@quirinale.it



Al Presidente della Repubblica Italiana Giorgio Napolitano

Signor Presidente della Repubblica,
Le rivolgo questo appello confidando nella sua sensibilità di guida morale del nostro paese e nella speranza che voglia quindi prendere seriamente in considerazione la mia proposta che, credo, sia condivisa da una grande parte di nostri connazionali.
In questo momento così difficile per il nostro paese, così confuso per quanto riguarda la situazione politica internazionale e così cinico da giustificare le guerre come necessarie per il mantenimento della pace, ci sono persone e istituzioni che, con il loro lavoro quotidiano e a costo di grandi sacrifici, testimoniano l’orrore della guerra alleviando le sofferenze causate alle persone di tutte le parti coinvolte nei conflitti. Questa testimonianza, invece di essere apprezzata, risulta per molti ambienti nazionali e internazionali un fastidio da liquidare o, al minimo, da screditare. Niente di nuovo, la nostra storia è piena di situazioni in cui gli italiani nel mondo si sono fatti onore, acquisendo anche un elevato potere culturale, nella più completa noncuranza se non nell’ostracismo dei governi nazionali.
Pertanto, io le chiedo di proporre Emergency per il premio Nobel per la Pace. A mio parere, questa proposta would be a deserved recognition of the commendable work done by this organization and, if so, restore some honor and dignity to the premium in a majority of cases, was awarded on the basis of political calculations as demonstrated by the last assignment hypocrite . President
Courage! Will side with the Italians who are many virtuous but deeply frustrated by the current situation in which they are forced to live. With respect

Green Tree Pythons For Sale In Canada

One billion euro per year to fund organizations and institutions unnecessary

On the one hand the state penalizes drastically research, universities and school cuts absurd, indiscriminate and continued undaunted to fund other organizations or institutions unnecessary or poorly profits that deal with marginal issues really.

Just think of an example of these structures called "national opera of the sons of the aviators," the name of style rather fascist, with a board of nine members, all military, with a secretary general and a panel of three auditors States. All appointed by the Minister of Defence on the proposal of Chief of the Air Force. It reads that this institution is dealing with a really useful and worthy activities, namely "to provide moral education, intellectual, physical, religious assistance and care of health and hygiene, in order to prepare them (the children of airmen) to be matches their abilities and trends ".

Thinking about the conditions in which they work in universities and schools, are penalized as students, teachers and researchers, thinking of all those who are forced to live on starvation wages, salt and a wave of anger anger. This is increasingly a country of social injustices, manipulated at will by an oligarchy boorish and nepotism policy, which aims to earn privileges by encouraging friends and family to re-establish a country completely!

Sweater Protection Against Moths

Basic research in Italy is likely to disappear

As many know, scientific research is divided into two categories, both important applied research and basic research. That was applied as the primary end use of knowledge for practical purposes. An example known applied research in bio-medical field is given by the case studies for the treatment of cancer and hereditary diseases, which although necessary, unfortunately, not lavish immediate remedies. In contrast, basic research, also called pure, aims the advancement of knowledge and clarification of certain physical, chemical, biological. It is an exploratory analysis, intellectual adventure, conducted without obvious practical purposes. An activity that brings ideas, culture, intangible products, useless to those who consider only the immediate ability to generate cash and profits.

But the history of science teaches that it is the basic research the real engine of progress in science and technology. In recent decades, for example, the most significant results obtained in the field of genetics, not resulting from applied studies, but from basic research on seemingly bizarre phenomena, carried out in suitable "model systems", organisms with biological properties particularly suited to experimental studies. Two cases out of all: the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Biology awarded in 1995 to Ed Lewis, Eric Wieschaus and Christiane Nüsslein for the discovery of developmental genes in Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly, and in 2006 to Andrew Fire and Craig Mello for the discovery of a system that "turns off" genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, a small worms. Two studies that have produced a number of revolutions in field of biology.

fundamental research conducted on flies and worms? Yes, because there is no relationship between the relevance and impact of a scientific problem or the complexity of a biological system and the size of the model organism that is used, otherwise we should study biology only whales or elephant. These findings have led to the development of new and innovative approaches used in the medical and teaching and research should not be addressed, as some would like, but let loose. So why is this chronic myopia of governments, industries and private foundations that fail basic research in favor of one applied? I would love to be proven wrong, but for now I do not see positive signs from the Government and Tremonti "Scissorhands". And if Telethon, AIRC, and other foundations you put a hand on your heart and thus begin the calls also dedicated to the financing of basic research?

The announcement comes Prin 2009 April 1, 2010: April Fool's joke?

After serious delays in the evaluations of the projects PRIN 2008, PRIN 2009 he released April 1, 2010 (see Ordinance). A date is not accidental that perhaps alludes to the consideration that this government has for scientific research? Some will think, "better late than never." But maybe it's already too late, as many research groups are disappearing in the meantime. A year's delay: it never happened. The situation has become desperate for basic research in Italy is too often neglected and is in danger of extinction.

How Much Does Custom Wrestling Gear Cost?

Knight and the elixir of life

In the recent rally in St. John, Silvio Berlusconi has formally announced that one of the key points of his government over the next three years is the desire to "conquer cancer" (http://www.youtube.com/watch? v = veKkjOXAPAg). Unfortunately, the premier did not specify who and how should pursue this battle. I've already contacted a saint revived able to make miracles? Or maybe some factotum is already working to prepare a law "against malannum? It has also not made clear by what means you should do the work, seeing to support scientific research and researchers are usually not necessary financing and real drastic and indiscriminate cuts implemented in recent years by Tremonti & co. The latest example is given of the research projects of national interest for late 2008 have been allocated 90 million euro for the 14 subject areas (33% less than in 2002). A pittance compared to EUR 138 million for the costs of the Chamber of Deputies in 2010 alone. Not surprisingly, research and development for Italy invests approximately 1% of GDP and is the last position among the 30 OECD member countries. Under these conditions, announce to win the cancer is as promised the elixir of life: something that is very similar to the slogan the hucksters in the old village fairs. And as often happens, some people believe.

Finding Anauto Oem Number

An "ethic cleansing" for competitions. Competitions

agree with the analysis made by Walter Tocci and ideally I would also agree with the solution of the direct call, but given the current state and power relations present within our universities, I find, unfortunately, unworkable. Such a solution at this time would encourage even more logical and nepotistic patronage already reign supreme. The direct call will fail as all others have failed so far experienced insolvency mechanisms, generating the same aberrations that are reported today. Moreover, the suggestion made dall'ANDU competitions temo non avrebbe miglior fortuna. Infatti, non credo che per far girare il vento bastino le commissioni nazionali interamente sorteggiate e composte da soli ordinari, e nemmeno che da quelle commissioni siano esclusi i docenti dell’Ateneo che bandisce il posto. Sappiamo bene che le reti accademiche sono vaste e potenti e capaci di funzionare in modo trasversale.

Vista la situazione, è lecito pensare che il fallimento di tutti i meccanismi concorsuali messi in pratica fino ad oggi sia dipeso non tanto dai meccanismi stessi, quanto da chi li ha sempre gestiti, ovvero quella elite di professori ordinari appartenente ai vari settori disciplinari e facente capo a gruppi e gruppuscoli accademici di potere. Come possiamo pensare che qualcosa cambi se i gestori saranno sempre i medesimi?

Che fare, allora? Per tentare una bonifica del sistema, i concorsi dovrebbero essere nazionali, come sostiene l’ANDU, ma a mio parere le commissioni dovrebbero prevedere una massiccia presenza di esperti stranieri (almeno il 50%), non perchè più bravi o più belli, ma solo in quanto garanti il più possibile indipendenti e svincolati dalle lobbies politico-accademiche di casa nostra. Qualcosa di simile dovrebbe valere anche per la valutazione dei progetti di ricerca.

Un decennio di tale pratica potrebbe produrre una discreta “pulizia etica” e favorire lo sviluppo di una nuova generazione accademica in media eticamente e professionalmente migliore della precedente. A Then you should switch to a later stage based on direct call of candidates by the universities and their assessment, with funding by results.

Giacomo Rossi, "There are clean alternatives impacting wind"





Giacomo Rossi, "There are clean alternatives impacting wind"
"Behind the eco-monsters mayors and ignorant speculations"


Giacomo Rossi, a young presidential candidate with the recent provincial acts on the matter but it does wind as usual, heavily and in no uncertain terms. "During the election campaign," said Rossi, "I have repeatedly expressed to the question of the various wind projects encourage the use of better alternatives, care, information and common sense if they were to be achieved. Since then, no longer spoke about, being a theater audience of political and institutional on to say the least gracious, seasoned with ignorance, speculators, misinformation, wave riders and illustrious fugitives. But now it is time to redo some considerations and questions! The first thing desirable on this issue, almost no one speaks, would be a law where you do not leave only to municipalities the power to decide the construction of these facilities, impacting objectively for all, (or maybe sometimes more impact for some common Neighbour), but that everything happens through the strategic energy plans and broader scheme. It must be said, for example, that everything could be solved with the use of small wind turbines or of 'third-generation wind turbine without blades, or one might better address more responsibly towards solar systems much less impact. E 'essential that clean energy has to be necessarily impacting when you could have the same performance with minimal impact? I wonder why our unions careless not come to understand that. Perhaps the first was enough crumbs given by the construction companies which have served to close without some municipal budget ... then, as in many cases to know exactly and definitively what the public will receive from this senseless slaughter! It's about time that they themselves submit questions to the mayors of municipalities and Andretta Bisaccia, Avellino, two of the many victims of much speculation behind the big wind. Here's why many plants are stopped, the corpses of tens of meters served only to make contributions, to create impact and literally scrub the municipalities that have given permission ... How then to talk about tourism development in many cases when it is chosen to place these eco-monsters in the most visible and characteristic of our landscapes? All so absurd and ridiculous. Ridiculous as the turnabout made by 'Administration of Urban and opportunistic in a comic is the first row for Si, and after the referendum to No (the same as the referendum by an overwhelming majority said no). Absurd as Piobbico Apecchio and where governments were not even asked anything, not caring if they wind eco-monsters, prejudice forever the landscape of all. No comment on the pitiful feared Cagli projects. Questions, because the PDL has not taken a unified position on the issue but it sends the stray dogs found in search only of consensus? Because of fools wonder why Ricci still not been reached on this issue? It was not him in the election campaign to speak of "the Province of sun and wind," without specifying how and where? Nobody knows that behind many of these wind farms there Merloni, the "master" of marks in Smash is dependent? Why Mirco Ricci and false defenders of hunters do not take the issue to comment on the blades, many of which will be put on routes migration of the province? The interests are worth more. Now the regional elections "stop" all projects, we can not risk going against the public right now and here that will open the festival of false reassurance. After all resumes after the election, thanks to a PDL helpless, quarrelsome and poltronaro, the re-elected Spacca trust Merloni, continue to support the eco-monsters of Mayors ignorant. Hopefully it is not. I will give battle "

The results of the projects PRIN 2008: a month we are all awaiting the signature of the Gelmini

Scientific research is a key element for growth and development of advanced countries. In Italy, however, the public research is increasingly relegated to the role of Cinderella. In fact, funding, already scarce, are now dramatically on account of insufficient and ill-considered short-sighted policy of governments.

The last icing on the moldy cake and digest packed by the Berlusconi government hungry for Italian researchers, is represented as yet unknown outcome of the assessment of Research Projects of National Interest (PRIN) for the year 2008. The final list was submitted for signature of the Minister Gelmini December 23 last year, well 10 months after the expiry of the notice. The optimists were convinced that the Gelmini, conscious of the serious delay in the evaluation of projects, would have been ratified by a simple ranking firmetta. Useless, after nearly a month hundreds of research groups and thousands of professionals still hanging from his lips, excuse me from the hands of the Gelmini, without knowing whether it may or may not have the resources to continue their research.

In the absence of a serious plan you are forced to live hand to mouth, to the detriment of research. In this dramatic juncture, dear Gelmini, that makes sense to speak of assessment, merit or excellence? Under these conditions, how can you expect to compete with other countries?
