"L’uomo piglia a materia anche se stesso, e si costruisce, sissignori, come una casa. Voi credete di conoscervi se non vi costruite in qualche modo?E ch’io possa conoscervi se non vi costruisco a modo mio?E voi me, se non mi costruite a modo vostro?Possiamo conoscere soltanto quello a cui riusciamo a dar forma. Ma che conoscenza può essere?E’ forse questa forma la cosa stessa?Sì, tanto per me, quanto per voi.;ma non così per me come per voi: tanto vero che io non mi riconosco nella forma che mi date voi, né voi in quella che vi do io; e la stessa cosa non è uguale per tutti e anche per ciascuno di noi può di continuo cangiare, e difatti cangia di continuo. Eppure, non c’è altra realtà fuori di questa, se non cioè nella forma momentanea che riusciamo a dare a noi stessi, agli altri, alle cose. La realtà che ho io per voi è nella forma che voi mi date; ma è realtà per voi e non per me; la realtà che voi avete per me è nella forma che io vi do; ma è realtà per me e non per voi; e per me stesso io non ho altra realtà se non nella forma che riesco a darmi. E come? Ma costruendomi, appunto”

El viernes 7 de abril, Barcelona acogió la segunda y última semifinal de la quinta edición española de Famelab, un concurso internacional de monólogos científicos que organizan en nuestro país FECYT y el British Council con la colaboración de la Obra Social ”la Caixa”.
La gala se celebró en el teatro Poliorama, gracias al apoyo de la Real Academia de Ciencias y Artes de Barcelona, y fue presentada por la actriz y humorista Silvia Abril, quien dio paso a los ocho participantes. Solo cuatro de ellos lograron clasificarse para la gran final al explicar, de una forma entretenida pero con rigor científico, temas tan interesantes como la detección de mutaciones en el material genético usando nanopartículas; las sinapsis, unas estructuras proteicas que permiten que unas neuronas se comuniquen y propaguen impulsos nerviosos; la teoría de grafos y los estereotipos que se construyen acerca de las mujeres y los hombres usando la Prehistoria.
Los finalistas de la semifinal de Barcelona son Judit Morlà (Universitat Rovira i Virgili), Pablo Izquierdo (University College London), Pedro Daniel Pajares (Universidad de Extremadura) y Margarita Sánchez (Universidad de Granada).
El jurado de la semifinal estuvo integrado por Albert Barniol, presentador del tiempo de los mediodías de TVE y subdirector del departamento de Meteorología de TVE; Gloria García Cuadrado, Presidente & CEO de Celestia Aerospace y directora científica y colaboradora del programa Órbita Laika: La Nueva Generación y Ricardo Moure, ganador de Famelab España 2014 y miembro del grupo de monologuistas científicos Big Van.
A los finalistas de Barcelona se suman los cuatro ganadores de la semifinal de Bilbao: Concha Aldea (Universidad de Zaragoza); Manuel Murie (Universidad Pública de Navarra); Ana Peiro (Hospital General Universitario de Alicante) y Carmen Sarabia (Universidad de Cantabria). Todos los finalistas tendrán que interpretar un nuevo monólogo en la final que tendrá lugar en el Museo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología en Madrid el próximo 24 de mayo. De allí saldrá el ganador que representará a España en el Cheltenham Science Festival que se celebrará en junio en el Reino Unido.

UNMC researcher Jyothi Arikkath, Ph.D., works in her lab at the Durham Research Center. Arikkath is the inventor of NeuroFreeze, a protected trade secret formulation for effectively and efficiently freezing neuronal cells. Upon thawing, up to 90 percent of cells retain viability, a dramatic improvement over the 30 percent retention rate of other methods.
Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons connect and collide to produce the most frustrating, chaotic and exhilarating changes that will ever happen to us.
#LYTMindYourHead
Lyceum Youth Theatre and Traverse Young Writers present Mind Your Head, a double bill of performances which examines the hot topic of mental wellbeing for young people today.
Each evening show will feature Brainstorm, exploring the complexities of the adolescent brain in a unique performance conceived by a playwright, a neuroscientist and partially devised by the LYT cast themselves.
Brainstorm will be paired with a selection of short scenes by the Traverse Young Writers who have responded to themes of the science and biology behind emotions, and nature verses nurture
What does happiness mean? Is it material or emotional? Controlled by circumstances or temperament?
