Hello! Looking for something to read this weekend?
Have a look on our last newsletter!
Enjoy!

Women in Science | TCCM Alumni We asked this question and we tried to have a scientific approach to the problem. First, inquiring genetics. How boys and girls differ genetically?

We are back online, dear friends!

Have you had a nice beginning of 2017 ? Whatever the answer is, we would like to help you get it better.

Enjoy!

Ab initio modeling the chemical storage of alternative energy | Chemistry | Mapping Ignorance Author: Carles Martí is a Ph.D. student (ITN-EJD-TCCM) at University of Perugia Nowadays, mostly everybody has heard about global warming, a problem that humanity faces and that can drastically change our climate in the upcoming years.

This Friday we would like to promote a more eco-friendly collective attitude. As scientists, the only way we can contribute to this cause is through scientific innovations.

Check out Jelle Vekeman's (Je Veki) article on "hydrogen as alternative fuel".
