My grandmother Luisa was born in January 1922.
Some years before, Italy 🇮🇹 got out of the Great War, which ended with the Versaille Treaty that made the world a worse place. Italy was among the "winners" but came out distressed. Fascism was born in that context.
My grandmother was a witness to the Second World War. She went to high school when several professors were at the front. Two girls from a bigger city were displaced in her house and became family (I called them aunties when I was a child).
Food rationing was one of her memories.
I was fortunate enough to grow in a peaceful Europe that tried to build bridges (see Euro's banknotes) and peace. But I didn't forget my grandmother's memories, and I believed I would have found it difficult to explain to my son what war in Europe could look like.
My grandmother turned 100 in January and passed away soon after. I miss her, and we are now seeing an invasion in Europe.
I don't understand people justifying it.
Strong #diplomacy grows only when we elect smart politicians. Poor diplomacy is the result of dumb politicians and stupid xenophobic, racist slogans. Remember when you are tempted to vote a 🤡 as a "protest".
We all can make the world a better place, starting from our homes.
This #war is already creating destruction and misery, but it's never too late to bring it to an end.

My 💙 is with every person that is suffering or scared. And my gratitude is for those speaking up against this war where it's not easy to do so.

🕯☮️ #Peace

Our #climbBioinfoskills tutorial is available online! 🧵 Image
#Nextflow is a fantastic language and workflow runtime, which allow us to write clean logic and to separate it to the configuration. The same workflow can transparently run locally, on your #HPC or in the #cloud!

My slides are available on Github: github.com/Bioinfo-skills…
And the repository itself shows a simple example of a "de novo" assembly pipeline for bacterial genomes
