Italian, MSc in chemistry specialized in cheminformatics and QSAR.
I'm interested in cooking and building stuff.
I love traveling, I lived in India, China, Slovenia, Poland and Spain.
Currently working in Spain in the field of genomics; and doing a PhD in Drug Development using Quantum Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence.
Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.

Ho visto l'altro giorno il film Courier, estremamente bello ed interessante nel rappresentare la vita cinica dei giovani russi dell'epoca.

@7 I mean, depends a lot on the synthesis.
Depends a lot on what you're doing.
If you're in organic chemistry I'd say the main objective is not to turn stuff black.
@GiudyCorda Lo facevo anche io, capisco molto bene.

French cooking: Let’s add more butter and see what happens.
British cooking: Let’s boil it for two hours and see what happens.
Italian cooking: Let’s use really good, fresh ingredients for everything and see what happens.
American cooking: Let’s go to McD and see what happens.
@GustavinoBevilacqua @dgar @Jimmyjimjim @CheckingInOcassionally@mastodon.ie I remember a very good celebration with a bunch of boxes of Nastro Azzurro because we found them on a discount.
We had to mix it with water to give it some flavour...

2022 has been an excellent year for #Elsevier !
- Revenue: 2,909 £m (US$3.5 billion)
- Adjusted operating profit: 1,100 £m (US$1.3 billion)
- Margin: 37.8%

To a large extent, this 'success' was made possible by all the scholarly organizations that have helped funnel tax funds to the shareholders of the monopolist!
@sergedroz @bert_hubert It has been proven false, the original research had strong methodological errors.
@capetaun Che palle questi amici senza competizione... La prossima volta falli giocare a diplomacy
@deadlyvices I feel like this would fail to describe data formats with non fixed information content. For example the mmCIF format for crystallographic structures of macro molecules contains a lot of fields that can be optional and can be placed in different positions providing different information.
Anyways, I don't think this would solve the issue, it would just let us describe the specific properties of each file format in a standardized way.
I don't think the problem of infinite chemical file formats will be solved any time soon, each one is based on a different way to look at chemical entities and often on different theories.
It would be nice to have a standard file format for small organic molecules containing 3D information, it would also be great if it wasn't based (at least not completely) on the Valence Bond theory.
@esther @phenolfight Not necessarily, both word and Google docs support connecting to zotero for citations and you can choose the style of the bibliography.
I never tried it on something as large as a thesis, but I don't see any big disadvantages over bibtex

Non so perché ma certe storie della #mastocartoleria mi fanno venire in mente questa vecchia barzelletta.
@lucifargundam @souldessin Damn, that is an awful situation...
@GustavinoBevilacqua Incredible, devo aver dormito molto: ero convinto che fossimo ancora in Marzo
@GenEcoEvo very cool guys, but why #ScienceMastodon and not just #Science?
You'd be excluding all the people in the fediverse who's not on Mastodon...
@Yaku @ChieseBrutte Pensavo l'avessi stampato tu in cartoleria
@ChieseBrutte Ma... Oddio
Questa cosa è terrificante, però molto bella!
@lucifargundam @souldessin That's quite a bit of money, I'd guess there would be a lawyer involved for that much
