the first European festival on creativity

2022 Programme

Event #8

Carlo Alberto Redi, Manuela Monti

Where are we from? Who are we? Where are we going? (And where are we having dinner tonight?)

Our life on planet Earth starts with a poetic movement, a dance between spermatozoa and the egg cell. And here we are: a cluster of trillion cells characterized by continuous motion and curiosity. Where are we from? Who are we? Where are we going? And where are we having dinner tonight? as Woody Allen said. Biosciences suggests an answer: we are sons of the stardust, selfish and ungrateful – just think of the misuse of the planet’s resources and the pandemic –, yet brilliant: we can do marvelous things like planning a trip to Mars or rewriting the genome. This is science – a form of knowledge relentlessly moving to help inhabit the world's complexity and prepare us for the future. Welcome to the chronicles of living!

 

BIS on Saturday 3rd September – 10 am


*Booking fee required by the sales channel.
