Italian, MSc in chemistry specialized in cheminformatics and QSAR.
I'm interested in cooking and building stuff.
I love traveling, I lived in India, China, Slovenia, Poland and Spain.
Currently working in Spain in the field of genomics; and doing a PhD in Drug Development using Quantum Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence.

Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.

Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.

Good afternoon, I'm searching some advice for some software to manage the tasks of a small group.
I have no problems regarding mine specifically, I use TaskWarrior and that is alright.

However, I'd like some simple way to note down which things have to be done overall by the group and which ones are being worked on. It would also be nice if it tracked a little bit how long these things took to complete.

I want something simple, most of the things we just talk to each other. Just not to forget what everyone is doing.
I don't plan this to be keeping track of everything everyone is doing, just important things which may take a while to complete.

I was looking at stuff like Trello and Asana. I'd prefer a tool which is free, but if some significant advantages are available I can pay.

Do you have any advice? Thanks!

Open letter to Nature editors complaining about the lack of code availability for AF3 (Publishing code is normally a prerequisite for publishing in Nature)

(Yes, I am fully aware of the irony of using a Google form to do this - not my idea, just sharing.)

@xtaldave @graemewinter @markus I'd like for the source code to be available as well, but I do understand that they are now turning it into a commercial product.

I feel that even if they now block academic access to AF3, we should still thank them. They published AF2 which was a significant step forward as well as providing the colab resources for free.

@graemewinter @xtaldave @markus Yes, they are doing it to make money. But I have used extensively AF2 and I feel they did greatly help me in my research. I believe they gave back to the community AF2 which is already a huge thing, as well as the idea that it can be improved.

They are letting academics make limited use of AF3.
I don't feel like they misbehaved in any way.
Sure, they could have just considered AF an academic project and kept it fully public.

I don't know, I see a bunch of IT companies now trying to move part of their business towards drug design.
Google, nvidia, microsoft.

I can understand they want to use it as some competitive advantage over the others.
I still believe this will be beneficial to the community in general.

The Nature article is an advertisement, that is clear. Probably should not be on Nature itself for what it is worth. But on the other side, we may give a little leeway to the people who did bring great innovations to the field.

@GustavinoBevilacqua è un po' che non aprivo Mastodon. Chissà se mi fermo per qualche giorno.
Stasera ho un po' di amici a cena, se ne va il mio coinquilino dato che dopo 2 anni che ha iniziato il dottorato l'università gli ha comunicato che non lo poteva fare e gli hanno cancellato seduta stante la borsa di studio (che tra l'altro gli pagavano in nero e suppergiù la metà del salario minimo)

Vediamo che fare, ho una macchina per la pasta, però con più di 6-7 persone il pentolone che ho non è abbastanza capiente.
Dovrò fare un salto al supermercato e farmi qualche idea.

Burocrazia Spagnola. Sostanzialmente al momento di registrarsi ti fanno inviare tutti i documenti e ti lasciano iniziare il dottorato anche se non è tutto a posto assumendo che si risolverà in breve.
Poi per comunicarti che ci sono dei problemi ci mettono molto.
In questo caso il problema è che volevano che la sua laurea di Master fosse convalidata e tradotta in Spagnolo dal ministero dell'Algeria e poi avvallata dal governo della sua nazione. Il che risulta impossibile e perciò non lo ammettono al dottorato.
Sostanzialmente questi due anni era in dottorato in attesa di approvazione.

Riguardo il pagamento invece francamente non lo so, la sua professoressa gli faceva ogni mese un trasferimento bancario di 600€ dal suo conto personale. Ci sarebbe stato da guardarci ma lui non ha mai voluto farlo per paura di perdere anche quei pochi soldi.

in order not to accidentally store images of passerby taken by vehicles decided the best way around it is to recognize their faces and store them with a unique ID unified among all vehicles which may have recorded the same person, is such way that if that person asks they'll be able to remove all images from their database.

It feels to me like the solution is worse than the original problem...

Indovinate a chi oggi doveva venire il tettoiaio (prenotato da febbraio) per mettere la grondaia alla tettoia per raccogliere l'acqua piovana…

@GustavinoBevilacqua magari quest'anno gli agricoltori si stanno preparando; ma tanto sappiamo che a giugno l'acqua sarà già finita.

I have a liter of milk in the fridge and I don't drink milk; any advice on what to do with it?

Ho un litro di latte in frigo e non bevo latte, cosa potrei farci?

🛂 We want to make travelling across EU borders smoother.

That’s why we are launching a public consultation on the digitalisation of travel documents. Your contributions will help establish a common standard in the Schengen area.

Digital travel documents can be easier to issue than physical ones and can facilitate border checks.

This initiative aims to decide on a common format for digital travel documents.

@EU_Commission This looks great, I've been waiting almost one year for my passport to arrive... I needed it over 9 months ago though.
