On Tuesday 18h February, at Assaggi bookstore in Rome, the science café "Migrant researchers" will be held.

Travelling and changing the place where to work is part of the life of a researcher. Which are the most favourite destinations and why? When such a mobility exceeds a certain amount of time, it becomes migration. Our country almost exclusively deals with exiting flows and whilst our researchers may reach high level positions in other countries, in our research centers it is difficult to see scientists from abroad. Mobility must be forerun, accompanied and followed by well defined political plans. What are the research policies in Italy, in Europe and in the rest of the world? And what about the returns in terms of innovation and, more generally, of social wealth?

These topics will be debated with Sveva Avveduto, sociologist, and Maria Carolina Brandi, geographer.

Question time with Pietro Greco, science journalist.

The event will be transmitted in live streaming on Scienceonthenet and on the Forma Scienza YouTube channel.

Why science cannot prove the existence of God

The demonstration of God's existence on scientific and mathematical grounds is a topic that, after captivating thinkers like Anselm and Gödel, reappears in the recent book by Bolloré and Bonnassies. However, the book makes a completely inadequate use of science and falls into the logical error common to all arguments in support of so-called "intelligent design."

The demonstration of God's existence on rational grounds is a subject tackled by intellectual giants, from Anselm of Canterbury to Gödel, including Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant. However, as is well known, these arguments are not conclusive. It is not surprising, then, that this old problem, evidently poorly posed, periodically resurfaces.
