Nel 1574, a Ca’ Foscari, alloggiò Enrico III Re di Francia e, per celebrare l’ospite, davanti al palazzo, su una loggia galleggiante, furono organizzate delle serenate “con suoni et canti soavissimi per cantare et sonare le lodi del Re. (Partecipavano) Tutti i più eccellenti musici della città con molti inserimenti di differenziate armonie”. Un concerto vero e proprio in Canal Grande. Buona giornata a tutti! #15giugno

Do you know which blood types are compatible with each other? Biologist Karl Landsteiner classified people and their blood into three groups, now known as A, B and O, with a fourth group AB discovered soon after. He showed that to successfully transfuse blood, matching blood types was crucial: transfusions between compatible groups were safe, but mixing different types could be deadly. Landsteiner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1930 for his discovery. During the rest of his career, Landsteiner continued investigating blood groups. In the 1940s, decades after his first discovery, he and collaborators discovered another blood group: Rh. Today, we know of over 200 minor blood groups, but the ABO and Rh systems are most important for determining blood compatibility.

A puzzling feature of this phenomenon is why universities keep inviting tech oligarchs to give these speeches. Is it because they believe that these people don't already have a sufficiently loud megaphone?

📢 We are hiring! My lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher. If you are excited about understanding cholesterol transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, membrane biology, lipid metabolism, or super-resolution imaging, please apply by June 30th!

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

Camillo De Lellis (born 11 June 1976) is an Italian mathematician and the IBM von Neumann Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study. He received the 2026 Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences and is active in the fields of calculus of variations, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, geometric measure theory and fluid dynamics. His achievements include deep results in geometric measure theory on the regularity of minimal surfaces and currents, as well as analysis of singularities in fluid dynamics, including the Navier-Stokes equations. De Lellis has resolved long-standing questions about the structure of singularities. He continues work on geometric analysis and PDEs.

Do genes dictate academic success? A new study of European twins shows the answer depends on where you live. Different school systems and family backgrounds can actually change how much a student's natural ability matters in the classroom. dlvr.it/TT2LSF

Japan is taking a meaningful step toward food transparency by placing photos of the actual farmers on food packaging. This initiative, part of the country’s long-standing Teikei community-supported agriculture system, connects consumers directly with the people who grow their food. By featuring farmers’ faces along with detailed origin and growing information, the packaging builds trust, promotes local produce, and strengthens the relationship between consumers and producers. Japan’s strict food labeling laws make this level of honesty not just encouraged, but expected. The personal touch of seeing the farmer behind the product gives shoppers greater confidence in the quality and authenticity of what they’re buying. Many producers are also adding QR codes that link to digital stories, allowing consumers to trace their food from farm to shelf. This combination of human connection and technology is helping small-scale farmers stand out while supporting Japan’s broader goals of sustainability and food traceability.

The match ended in a draw. The Netherlands fans celebrated and went home. But the Japan fans stayed behind. With smiles on their faces and bags in their hands, they cleaned the entire stadium after the game against the Netherlands. They have done it for years. Not because anyone asked them to. But because respect, discipline and gratitude are part of who they are. A small act that continues to inspire the football world. 🇯🇵❤️
