REMINDER: ICTP and Pint of Science, Starting Tonight!

[Infopoint]

ICTP will be well represented at Trieste's 'Pint of Science' event, a
public science festival where scientists deliver interesting talks about
their research to the general public, in the informal setting of a pub.

The event takes place over the course of three days, from Monday 14 May
to Wednesday 16 May. Researchers from Trieste science institutes who are
passionate about their work will share the joy of science with the
public at four local pubs. All talks are in Italian.

Themes for the four venues include astronomy, technology and planet
Earth. Amongst the many scientists taking part in the event, ICTP's
Rosario Fazio, head of the Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics
(CMSP) section, will talk about quantum computing, while his CMSP
colleague Luca Grisanti will discuss supercomputers. Under the planet
Earth theme, Susanna Strada, a postdoctoral fellow with ICTP's Earth
System Physics (ESP) section, will present the fragrant connection
between plants, air quality and climate, while ESP PhD student Giorgio
Graffino will participate in a presentation on magnetic fields and
meteorological modelling. Natasa Stojic of ICTP's Applied Physics
section will participate in a discussion about graphene, and ICTP
mathematician Stefano Luzzatto will explore fractals and black holes.

Each evening's talks begin at 19:30. For the full program, including
details about the talks and locations of the pubs, visit the Trieste
Pint of Science website (https://pintofscience.it/events/trieste).
