There is a study in ecology, which concludes that the bees do not have much individual intelligence but when they are in a group, the group shows the signs of more intelligent behaviour. This phenomenon is called “collective intelligence”. It is believed that the collection of bees is not merely just a power in number […]
ESR meeting High School Students
Two days ago (23/11/2016), we had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with teenaged students from a local high school at EGO institute. This morning we did an outreach activity where we explained our scientific backgrounds and our research fields. They also discovered how at Advanced VIRGO interferometer we work on many topics in which […]
Matthieu Gosselin
Hey everybody! I am Matthieu, I come from the Northern coast of France where I lived for 23 years. I studied Telecommunication Engineering, and got an MRes in photonics in parallel since I was also interested in research. During these studies, and also during my free time, I had the opportunity to travel a lot […]
Serena Vinciguerra
Ciao! I’m Serena, Italian, 27 years old, daughter of two passionate parents, sister of 4 beautifully loud brothers, girlfriend of an wonderfully patient and old-fashioned boy, friend of unique people and nephew of tenderly honest grandparents and several different uncles.

Since January 2016 I have been fortunate enough to be one of the 14 Early Stage Researchers selected to work in the GraWIToN Project, developing my career as a researcher […]
Internet Festival @Pisa
From the 6th to the 9th of October it’s been the Internet Festival in Pisa and we (the local GraWIToNs) went there to explain what is Virgo experiment and what gravitational waves are. Since the event started on Thursday, the first days we were completely focused attending schools ranging from children to teenagers since […]
Gang Wang
Hello! My name is Gang Wang, and I come from China. I was recruited in the GraWIToN project for the study of data analysis of gravitational waves, at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Italy. Before I joined in the GraWIToN project, I worked in an astronomical observatory as an engineer for 3 […]
Rudy NAHED
Hi! My name is Rudy, I am ESR #2 in the GraWIToN program, and I am from a small country in the Middle East called Lebanon. This is my first time studying outside my home country and so far, I think everything is great. I am hosted by a French company called BOOSTEC in collaboration […]
Jose M
Hi! I’m Jose, and I live and work in Pisa. Culturally, there are not many differences between my home country (Spain) and Italy, but even so many things have surprised and puzzled me. One of the things that surprised me a lot was the disbelief of the local people when I tell them that […]
