Marica Branchesi, a member of the\u00a0Virgo collaboration<\/a>, which operates the gravitational-wave detector near Pisa, Italy. Branchesi bridged the divide between observational astronomy and the physics-heavy realm of gravitational-wave research \u2014 fields that, until recently, had little reason to work together.<\/p>\n

Grazie a lei<\/p>\n

for a few weeks starting on 17 August, it seemed as if every telescope on Earth and in space was looking in the same direction,<\/p>\n

verso la fonte di emissioni prodotte dalla collisione di due stelle di neutroni. All’intervista dell’INAF, aggiungo che finalmente non \u00e8 pi\u00f9 ricercatrice\u00a0precaria<\/span> <\/a>\u00a0a Urbino ma “Assistant Professor<\/span><\/a><\/span>” – e forse precaria lo stesso, h\/t Andrea – all’Istituto Gran Sasso dell’INFN.
\nElie Dolgin celebra una bambina, non gli inventori della terapia che l’ha salvata:<\/p>\n

The simplest gestures can be the most powerful. At a US Food and Drug Administration meeting in July, 12-year-old Emily Whitehead rose from the audience and walked up to the man [il padre Tom] presenting at the lectern. Without a word, she grasped the back of his arm.\u00a0\u201cI just thought it would help him if I stood by him,\u201d recalls Emily, who five years earlier was the first child in the world to receive an experimental treatment called CAR-T therapy.<\/p>\n

Sara Reardon racconta gli exploit di Scott Pruitt, chiamato da Trump a distruggere l’Environmental Protection Agency e l’ambiente:<\/p>\n

After taking office in February, he immediately set to work\u00a0blocking or repealing dozens of environmental rules<\/a>, including regulations on emissions, mining and hazardous waste.\u00a0 […]<\/p>\n

In October, Pruitt announced that scientists who hold EPA grants would\u00a0no longer be allowed to serve on the agency\u2019s independent advisory committees<\/a>, owing to what he called a conflict of interest. As a result, the agency\u00a0dismissed half the members<\/a>\u00a0of several scientific-advisory boards.\u00a0Most of the positions have since been filled with current industry employees and scientists who have industry ties.<\/p>\n

But many scientists feel sidelined, and EPA employees, in particular, worry about their future. The Trump administration has proposed a 40% budget cut to the agency\u2019s research and development office, which would mostly eliminate staff-scientist jobs.<\/p>\n

L’eroina malgr\u00e9 soi di Nicky Phillips \u00e8 Jennifer Byrne, la genetista dei tumori che ha gi\u00e0 provocato la ritrattazione di parecchi articoli:<\/p>\n

has spent countless evenings over the past two years on her laptop trawling the literature for flawed\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and potentially fraudulent\u00a0\u2014\u00a0articles.<\/p>\n

[She]\u00a0has so far spotted dozens of papers with DNA-sequence errors. Most of them have other suspicious features, such as poor-quality graphics and chunks of text that overlap with other manuscripts. Byrne suspects misconduct is involved in some cases, although that hasn\u2019t been proven.\u00a0Her tenacious work is\u00a0now making waves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alexandra Witze ha scelto un’avvocata:<\/p>\n

Ann Olivarius had to add 20% more staff to her firm just to handle the phone calls. Women were ringing her law practice in Maidenhead, UK, in droves this year, asking for help with their #MeToo stories of\u00a0sexual harassment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For decades, Olivarius has dealt with high-profile cases of sexual misconduct and assault at academic institutions. But the astonishing developments of 2017 \u2014 with powerful men in science, entertainment, journalism and other industries losing their jobs over sexual misconduct \u2014 have created a tipping point even for her.<\/p>\n

“Sexual harassment in science is just like Hollywood: everyone knows who the Weinstein is<\/a>.” E tutti sanno che il Weinstein di turno \u00e8 protetto dai suoi pari e le sue vittime minacciate di rappresaglie o estromesse.\u00a0 Credo che si sappia anche qui e la domanda resta sempre: perch\u00e9 le italiane tacciono? (Salvo per criticare Asia Argento…) In altri paesi qualcosa sta cambiando, le donne si alleano, anche con gli uomini che le ascoltano e le aiutano a superare quel muro di omert\u00e0.
\nA parte nei luoghi delle femministe, la conversazione resta “nel privato”. Da tempo non guardavo i tweet sotto l‘hashtag Quellavoltache<\/a>, la maggior parte\u00a0sono tuttora misogini, anti-femministi, benaltristi… tristi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
