On a very cold January night “The Patriots soared to an early lead and never looked back”. My first NFL game watched from amazing seats!

New England Aquarium - Sharks

November 23rd, 2011

Last weekend I finally got to visit the Aquarium. The sharks were looking pretty threatening and this is what you would see if you had to jump in the big tank for the cleaning operations. Shark teeth are embedded in the gums rather than directly affixed to the jaw, and are constantly replaced throughout life. Multiple rows of replacement teeth grow in a groove on the inside of the jaw and steadily move forward as in a “conveyor belt”; some sharks lose 30,000 or more teeth in their lifetime. The rate of tooth replacement varies from once every 8–10 days to several months.Wikipedia

Life is made of many variables. The only constant is you.

Sunday morning thoughts…

February 3rd, 2008

It is almost a couple of months I moved to Boston. The winter is not that cold as it probably should be. Snow is already gone and sometimes it is raining. I think about Italy that is anyway wormer, about some friends that are there. Sometimes I feel the need to go to north end (the Italian neighborhood) for some pastries and a espresso that looks more Italian than the ones you can have around. I’ve never been a coffee guy but I guess everything that makes you feel at home is good. Oh, my workmate Marco surprisingly makes a really good Cappuccino right at home… a good way to start the work day. But I started also to appreciate other things that I was not usually eating in Italy (pancakes!!!!!). Ok, time to start the day… happy Superbowl!

Interesting experience

Mouse embryo
Thanks to Sheede, today I’ve been watching a mouse embryo dissection. It is incredible to see the anatomy: heart, lungs, kidneys, intestine, mouth… Everything looked so small to me, but she has been able, through the help of the microscope, to detect and isolate the organs in a few seconds. She said is a matter of exercise (I think it is also a matter of skills… a bit like surgeons). Only after isolating the different parts, it was really possible for me recognizing them. Wish I had the chance to take some pictures to post here.And then comes another interesting topic, growing the single organs… hopefully, one day, I will see that too.

Simply amazing.

Leaving Las Vegas… oops Boston.

October 26th, 2007

Here we go, going back to Europe once again. I left Boston with 26 degrees and I landed in Paris with 2 degrees Celsius. Luckily, in Milan it was a bit better 16. I left Boston in one of the best moments of the year… the Fall, with its beautiful colors.
