Using robots to test evolutionary hypothesis. This is the main purpose of John Long's research. In his laboratory, he and his colleagues build robots with essential bio-realistic animal features, like the ability to behave autonomously. We interviewed him before his lecture at the Festival della Scienza in Genoa.

No, the wildfires in California are not "ideological"
Rampini from the Corriere includes a series of errors and inaccuracies to support the unbearable rhetoric of “ideology” in the ecological transition and even in climate physics. Contrary to what he claims, the probability and intensity of wildfires are increasing due to the very "human" climate changes. Of course, solutions also involve proper management of vegetation and infrastructure, but this should not overshadow the goal of achieving net-zero emissions. Especially after 2024, which for the first time surpassed an average temperature of 1.5°C.
This topic is also addressed in the guide Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change: A Guide for Journalists, which the Climate Media Center Italia has translated into Italian from the original by World Weather Attribution.

Federico Rampini continues his battle against the “ideologies” of ecological transition.
