What happens in our brain when we meet someone from a different ethnic group? Is it possible to fight racism employing scientific knowledge? Elisabeth Phelps, a researcher at New York University, on Friday 19 July has held a public conference titled "Neuroscience of racism."
Con il conferimento del titolo di master honoris causa a Ferruccio De Bortoli si chiude l'evento MAPPE della SISSA. Il direttore de "Il Corriere della Sera" ha tenuto in questa occasione una lectio magistralis in cui ha raccontato la sua esperienza come giornalista e direttore di una importante testata nazionale, e ha spiegato il ruolo cruciale di una corretta informazione scientifica.

La medicina ai tempi di internet: i nuovi modi di fare diagnosi, il monitoraggio delle malattie online, la condivisione dei propri dati e la ricerca di una cura sul web. In un incontro organizzato dagli studenti del Master in Comunicazione della scienza della SISSA di Trieste, si è cercato di capire, con l'aiuto di alcuni esperti, come sta cambiando la medicina nell'era digitale.

Un campo di studi nuovo e vitale, la neuroetica sta attirando l'attenzione della comunità scientifica e dell'opinione pubblica. La Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) di Trieste organizza una scuola estiva, aperta a 15 studenti, per stimolare la formazione e la ricerca in questa nuova area interdisciplinare. La scuola si terrà dal 15 al 19 settembre 2013. Le iscrizioni si chiudono il 29 luglio.
"Challenge Your Assumptions": una serata per discutere di nuove tecnologie e tendenze e del loro impatto sul nostro futuro. Il tutto parte da RE-SEED, un progetto per sostenere l'occupazione di giovani che hanno un elevato grado di istruzione e che vede la SISSA partner con l'Università di Udine e Friuli Innovazione.
The time of the year devoted to guided tours at SISSA of Trieste involving students has just ended. The initiative has been a great success: bookings were "sold out" almost from the very start and the schools that took part in the initiative expressed great satisfaction.
The involvement of students and post-doc fellows at SISSA has been a key factor, as they all participated enthusiastically as "hosts" and guides. This is the first time that SISSA experiments with this new formula that will be definitely repeated next season
The scientific journal Macromolecules dedicates the cover of this month's issue (available online from June 11th) to a research coordinated by Cristian Micheletti of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA). Micheletti and his colleagues,
that include Luca Tubiana (a former SISSA student, now working at the Josef Stefan Institute of Ljubljana) and Angelo Rosa (a researcher at SISSA) simulated the dynamics of the movements with which a polymer tends to knot.
They are young, they are physicists and they arrived in Trieste from various parts of the world to meet and exchange views.
On 3 and 4 June the "Young Researcher Meeting" was held at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), an event organized by students and postdocs of various disciplines to talk about Physics.
One of the challenges faced by those who study friction is finding a connection between the phenomena observed within the macroworld and those in the nanoworld.
The stick-slip, a phenomenon observed at every scale when two surfaces slide on one another, could be the starting point to identify such connection. The scientists at SISSA have studied such phenomenon through a system of "trapped cold ions".
SISSA has always kept focus on the international scientific scene. In such a vein, a recent activity was the creation of a network with some research institutes in Vietnam in view of top-level training in the field of Functional and Structural Genomics.
Two professors of the PhD course in Functional and Structural Genomics at SISSA, Giuseppe Legname (SISSA) and Paolo Carloni (German Research School for Simulation Sciences, Jülich), recently went to Ho Chi Min City to organize a Neurobiology course, dealing with both experimental and computational aspects.

Giovanni Bussi and Paolo Gidoni, a researcher and a PhD student at SISSA respectively, are among the recipients of Premio Città Impresa 2013, a yearly award devoted to "under 35" talents of the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige.
A team of researchers of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) of Trieste and of University of Cambridge have devised a method to reduce the time used to simulate how proteins take on their signature three-dimensional shape.
Such important information to comprehend their function is usually obtained using often very costly experimental techniques.
The International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) has signed a collaboration agreement with some of the most innovative enterprises operating in a totally unique territory. The aim is to provide the projects conceived by the students of the Master in Complex Actions with a faster track to access the market.
Two former SISSA students are the recipients of the Armenise-Harvard Fellowship, a prestigious award assigned every year to two young science writers. The award is a confirmation of the top-level science communication courses offered by the School, a pioneer institution in the field. Precisely this year, the School will celebrate the twenty-year anniversary of its Master's Course in Science Communication, the first in Italy.

With their whiskers rats can detect the texture of objects in the same way as humans do using their fingertips. A study, in which some scientists of SISSA have taken part, shows that it is possible to understand what specific object has been touched by a rat by observing the activation of brain neurons. A further step towards understanding how the brain, also in humans, represents the outside world.
