RE: SteemSTEM & Utopian.io Meetup in Italy - a window on Florence Nightingale, aka the Lady with the Lamp

in #fundition-ffdnxgdga6 years ago (edited)

I see the Natural History Museum; the History of Science one I mentioned is a short walk from the Uffizi gallery. (edited as misread your comment!) Has some important historical experiments from Galileo and Volta. Many years since I visited, and was an old-style mess of a museum, now more didactic and tidy.

Anyway, enjoy the meet-up. Last time I gave a lecture in Italy was in Bologna.... oh... some years ago!!

Sort:  

Am trying to get my school to build Galileo's ramp experiment to show that acceleration is constant... but can't find the space! Is also very funny (for a physicist) that the designers of the new museum laid out the bells on the ramp an equal distance apart - I think enough complained about this that they are now in their correct alignment.

I edited my comment and our answers crossed each other. I was in Florence last week in fact, lecturing at Monash University in Prato (the town next by). This is really a great city and there are so many things to do... Let's see what we will concretely manage to do. ^^
