The event was organized by the "Galileo Festival" in Padova, for the Week of Innovation. Ivan is a professor of Contemporary Art at the University of Padova.

We took very different career paths but we both ended up in academic and research jobs in Padova, and we have been able to take part together in several events where art and science are at the focus.

Reverse One-Child Policy: Will China Go From Coercing Abortions To Restricting Access to Them?*Sebastien Roblin* *China, * The One-Child policy had terrible consequences for Chinese families. New family planning policies raise new worries. Abortion rights have for decades remained a flashpoint in the United States’ ever-widening socio-political divisions—divisions likely to increase as the Supreme Court’s conservative majority seems intent on permitting states to substantively ignore the precedent set by Roe vs. Wade guaranteeing women the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. But the issue of reproductive freedom is rearing its head again in China too, even as its ... read more

This week, California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed into a law a suite of gun safety bills. Among these was a bill that makes it illegal to sell guns or ammunition on propert... read more
