Although I am originally from Bergamo/“close-by”, I think I went only once to #Turin (if ever). Over the next 6 months I’ll be there 3 times for conferences (starting today). 🤯
It seems like Turin is the place to be! Like my post-doc (from Turin) always says. 🤣🤣🤣
☀️😊🔝✈️
Rooftops of Lecce from my hotel room. Conferences in Italy are the best ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
