Hello World!
I tried to find a smart title for my first post here, but I found the default WordPress option very suitable for my computer science-ish background.
Why am I starting this blog? Well, I firmly believe that science should be connected to everyday life. I also believe that what I am doing may be interesting and useful to improve the above mentioned everyday life. Finally, I think that to read one of my papers directly will provide little or no contribution to the community, given my total inability to write scientifically (and even non-scientifically) and the obscure link between an algorithm that I have developed and the science that makes your refrigerator or iPad work day after day.
So, here we are: the idea of this blog is to provide, hopefully, some interesting content. The fixed sections of the website are for the people who want to read directly the published paper, or to download the datasets and/or the algorithms I have developed. These posts, instead, will provide quick, dirty and informal descriptions of my papers and of everything I find interesting and worth noticing. If you ever read a scientific paper and, at the end, you found yourself asking “So what?”, the blog is the place to find the answer. At least for my papers.
The updates are meant to be regular, but don’t expect them to be frequent! If I spend all my working hours writing this blog I’ll run out of quality material. Plus I may get fired, and that’s not nice.
