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.

@DamienMarieAtHope Science and religion are not mutually exclusive.
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@strangeobject.space @phenolfight@strangeobject.space 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
