Evolutionary scientists, curious epidemiologist, plasmid enthusiast, old school social!

Sardinian, Italian and European in the Uk.
Briton in training, loves BCN.
Mum. Baker. Birdwatcher. Gardener.

Very opinionated & opinions are my own.
One of the things that amazes me after all this time in the UK is that I see the different shades of grey sky...
In Sardinia there is only grey and blue.
Here there is dark grey, light grey, shiny grey, foggy grey, not-that-bad grey, cloudy grey, grey where you can see shadows of blue...

You can have them estimate how tall is a human genome printed pile.
Even if you print font 8 and use this paper, I am pretty sure it gets you half way to the moon...

The plasmid evolution community is an amazing group of nice, kind and interesting people.

And being all together discussing all our plasmid problems from all our different perspectives was really cool!

The incredible sea view helped...

Google reminds me that it's been 2 years since this picture and the Workshop on plasmids as vehicles of AMR spread.

We did our best to reorganize it this year but we couldn't get any funding .

We haven't given up on the workshop and at some point we will organize another edition!

Upper row, the place where I live, in England.
Lower row, the place where my parents live, Sardinia, Italy.

top tip: if anybody speaks about Sardinia and Tuscany as if they were more or less the same thing, believe me, they do not have a grip of the situation!
(Tuscany was turisty since 1700, a very small corner of Sardinia came up in the turists radar in 1970s thanks to Aga Khan and a James Bond movie)

Also, since I hung the line in the garden in May, I only once got the clothes back wetter than I hung them thanks to the odd shower...
July 2, 2025 at 8:51 PM
I hung out the clothes to dry in the garden at 6pm and got them back now... many are already dry!!!

I am in England not in Sardinia!

I find this amazing but very worrying...

Quest'anno niente orto, solo fiori selvatici e erba che sta diventando fieno...

79 years ago today my grandmas and all other Italian women of age voted FOR THE FIRST TIME to decide between the monarchy that supported mussolini and the Republic.

Before that day women were not allowed to vote in Italy.
