ALT Nonlinear behavior is by no means a negative thing. Ubiquitous in nature, it can be found in the response of climate to warming, in the dynamics of the solar wind, and in the spread of pandemics. In this episode, Tommaso Alberti invites everybody to marvel at the beauty of nonlinearities in nature - and to better understand them mathematically. As a theoretical physicist based in Rome, Tommaso works on formulas and algorithms to better identify and characterize nonlinear processes. He explains why this is important, for example, to protect critical infrastructure or to determine the current stage of the pandemic. The second part of this episode is all about early-career networks. Tommaso shares his experience as Early Career Scientists Representative of the Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences (NP), a Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and his idea on how to make research networks even more creative, diverse and vibrant.

ALT Will photonic quantum devices help to build robust #quantum #networks? And what does it mean when it comes down to whether #light is too early or too late? Martin talks about his work as a PhD student in #Copenhagen, exploring the strange and fundamental interaction between light and matter. He shares with us his passion for #statistics and why collaborations and occasional coffee breaks remain invaluable to him. He also talks about what it means to him to get #creative and put work aside while making #music and taking pictures.
