Pompeii, bacteria in the human body and fake news
S25 • E9 Aug 29, 2018 2h
Alberto Angela will be in Pompeii, searching for new fragments of our past, among numerous artifacts preserving data and information recovered thanks to the work of specialists and increasingly sophisticated technologies. Our bodies contain nine bacteria for every human cell. And we don't have a good relationship with all of them. With Barbara Gallavotti and Daniela Franco, we'll travel to Belgium to understand how to treat the bacteria responsible for a truly unbearable odor and how they can be transplanted. Between physics and technology: Paolo Magliocco and Andrea Pasquini will demonstrate how systems work that can make mountain climbing safe, even for the less experienced. What kind of job will a child who goes to school today have tomorrow? Paolo Magliocco and Federica Calvia traveled to the University of Oxford, where a study is trying to identify the most sought-after professions of the future.
