Massimo Bozzo, Di Renzo Editore

Potrebbe far parte della rubrica di enigmistica memoria il libro realizzato con caparbietà e non poca fatica da Massimo Bozzo, uno dei giornalisti scientifici più rinomati del nostro paese. Si scopre infatti, leggendolo, che l’Italia è il paese che in assoluto al mondo ha il maggior numero di musei dedicati alla scienza. E questo anche se non si può dire altrettanto dell’attenzione che a questo settore il nostro paese ha dedicato e dedica. E inoltre se a questi si aggiungono le centinaia di raccolte di università, ministeri, enti, scuole, società, istituti di ricerca e privati cittadini, la mole delle collezioni storiche conservate è impressionante.

"Dove il mondo cessa di essere il palcoscenico delle nostre speranze e dei nostri desideri per divenire l'oggetto della libera curiosità e della contemplazione, lì iniziano l'arte e la scienza.”, diceva Albert Einstein, “Se cerchiamo di descrivere la nostra esperienza all'interno degli schemi della logica, entriamo nel mondo della scienza; se, invece, le relazioni che intercorrono tra le forme della nostra rappresentazione sfuggono alla comprensione razionale e pur tuttavia manifestano intuitivamente il loro significato, entriamo nel mondo della creazione artistica. Ciò che accomuna i due mondi è l'aspirazione a qualcosa di non arbitrario, di universale."
Nel caos arte e scienza si incontrano, dando vita, ognuna con i propri strumenti, materia ed equazioni, a creazioni dal forte impatto visivo.

laboratory tests

25 April: GENEVA -- When millions of HIV-infected people in poor countries began receiving advanced drug therapies, critics worried that patient care would suffer because few high tech laboratories were available to guide treatments. But according to a study being published in Lancet Friday, 25 April, these concerns are as yet unfounded. In fact, the study indicates that when clinicians use simple physical signs of deteriorating health -- such as weight loss or fever -- these doctors can provide therapies almost as effective those relying on the most advanced laboratory analysis.

Geneva-27 March 2008-Too often the sacrifices of people working in global public health go unrecognized, but not in this case. The World Health Organization (WHO) welcomes the announcement that the Government of Japan is awarding the first Hideyo Noguchi Africa Prize for service to global public health.


The two recipients of the prize are Brian Greenwood, Professor of Clinical Tropical Medicine at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and distinguished innovator in malaria research; and Miriam K. Were, an AIDS specialist performing ground-breaking community-based work in East Africa.

Washington DC /Geneva – Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has been recorded at the highest rates ever, according to a new World Health Organization (WHO) report that presents findings from the largest survey to date on the scale of drug resistance in tuberculosis.


The report, Anti-Tuberculosis Drug Resistance in the World, is based on information collected between 2002 and 2006 on 90 000 TB patients in 81 countries. It also found that extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), a virtually untreatable form of the respiratory disease, has been recorded in 45 countries.


The report also found a link between HIV infection and MDR-TB. Surveys in Latvia and Donetsk, Ukraine found nearly twice the level of MDR-TB among TB patients living with HIV compared with TB patients without HIV.

Geneva/Baghdad - A large national household survey conducted by the Iraqi government and the World Health Organization estimates that 151 000 Iraqis died from violence between March 2003 and June 2006.

The findings, published today on the web site of the New England Journal of Medicine, are based on information collected during a wider survey of family health in Iraq, designed to provide a basis for the Iraqi government to develop and update health policies and plan services.

The estimate is based on interviews conducted in 9345 households in nearly 1000 neighbourhoods and villages across Iraq. The researchers emphasize that despite the large size of the study, the uncertainty inherent in calculating such estimates led them to conclude that the number of Iraqis who died from violence during that period lies between 104 000 and 223 000. 

What is a museum? It is that tedious and boring place where we are told to admire a "fantastic" collection that most of the time we don't even understand what we are looking at. Wow, how interesting! It is a place where our teachers, our parents or our companions bring us to acknowledge, when all we would want is something totally different, like a football match on television. This is a common thought among people, among the non scholars, because museums in the past have been dead places.

Fortunately museums have come to understand, in the last 10 years or so, that having a great collection was not "that big of a deal" to attract the public. People wanted something more thrilling and more comprehensive with which to understand the great collections. It is obvious that a museum will always have at its center the collection. What they are trying to do now is to become the center of knowledge and culture, by using all means; adding laboratories along with new technologies, making exciting events and so on.
