Eating at the wrong time can make you gain weight. Interview with Paolo Sassone-Corsi

    Paolo Sassone-Corsi, a professor of Biological Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine, is working on studying the rhythms that regulate our biology in order to shed light on behaviors that are hazardous to health and should be avoided, but also to understand how to make drug treatments more effective. He is one of the first scientists to investigate how the environment influences gene function without it changing the DNA sequence.

            Italy is moving onwards and upwards

              The foreign press – English speaking in particular – can see signs of recovery in Italy’s economy.  The most comprehensive and in-depth article on this subject appeared in the Wall Street Journal, in which it set out that the European economy showing the most growth in October was, indeed, Italy’s, especially in its manufacturing sector, and that the economies of the rest of the continent were, in fact, slowing down.

                      The two companies could not be more different. One – Ferrari – a worldwide symbol of made in Italy luxury and a brand that fills the dreams of car lovers everywhere, and the other – Poste Italiane – a public group, offering a broad range of services based purely in Italy, which, on the face of it, holds little or no appeal. Formula 1 speed against the snail-like pace of post office lines, beautifully encapsulated in a photo featured in Bloomberg Business.
