Internet talk-show with the explorers of the third millennium

October 24th, from 6 to 8 pm

Urban Center

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele

Milano, MI 20123, Italy

The event, promoted in collaboration with the city of Milan, is an initiative from Scienceonthenet, Gruppo 2003 and Caffè-Scienza Milano, aimed to pay omage to physics and its extraordinary conquests in the last years: from the discovery of the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva to the photography of the primordial Universe, taken by the Planck space probe.

Both these international projects involved many Italian researchers, including several from Milan. One more reason to meet some of the protagonists of these studies. They will discuss how scientific exploration are redefining the idea of the Universe where we are living; they will talk about the age of the Cosmos, the Big Bang, the dark matter; they will explain the functioning of those big "machines" that are the international research projects nowadays; they will tell how is a researcher's life.

A halt to animal testing would translate into a damaging halt to biomedical research

di Silvio Garattini

Pubblicato il 05/05/2015

Today, during the press conference held at the Italian Senate, the Gruppo 2003 for scientific research made a statement through its spokeperson, Dr Silvio Garattini.

The statement stressed that animal testing is still an irreplaceable must. Together with the Italian Senator, Hon. Elena Cattaneo and a number of other researchets, the Gruppo 2003 for scientific research found itself in the position to defend for the umpteenth time the rational values of Science from an animal rights initiative trying to impose a ban on animal testing.
