Dear Colleagues,
This is to inform you that two public events involving ICTP research scientists in the QLS section are taking place this week. They are part of the celebrations for JSTAT (Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment)'s 20th anniversary.
Both events are open to everyone and participation is free.
They will be in Italian.
- 26 November, 6 p.m. - Antico Caffè San Marco, Via Cesare Battisti 18, Trieste
The thermodynamics of ecology: how do statistical physics
and biodiversity connect?
In an informal Science Café, Jacopo Grilli (ICTP) will explore
how physical models, originally applied to the study of
particles, can now help us understand ecological balance and the
coexistence of many species in nature.
- 27 November, 9 p.m. - Teatrino Franco and Franca Basaglia,
via Edoardo Weiss 13, Trieste
2387: the history of sustainable development in the memories
of a blender
The final show in the series, written by physicist Matteo
Marsili (ICTP) and performed by actresses Sara Alzetta and
Daniela Gattorno, brings to the stage a dialogue between a
blender and a toaster who, equipped with artificial
intelligence, trace the history of sustainable development with
irony and surrealism. At the end of the performance, a panel
discussion will follow with Marsili and Alan Kirman, a member of
the Accademia dei Lincei and noted economist, on the issues of
sustainability and the future of our resources.
Best regards,
ICTP Public Information Office
