Description

In this seminar, I will illustrate why, more than 100 years after Einstein's fundamental work on Brownian motion, this topic is still debated. In particular, I will discuss some of its anomalies and focus on what is defined as Brownian but non-Gaussian behavior. I will highlight the possible biological advantages of this phenomenon. In the last part of the seminar, I will talk about gender, inclusion, and diversity policies at the University of Padua and in my Department.
