A paper a day keeps the PhD awake
Patents are far more than just legal paperwork. This post explores a paper on how structured search strategies, clever use of syntax, and specialised databases can turn scattered patent information into valuable insight. By combining search techniques with portfolio management tools, researchers and innovators can reveal hidden patterns, monitor competitors, and anticipate emerging trends.
Academic Mobility
My first experience in an Erasmus+ BIP on Digital Humanities was both inspiring and enriching. Hosted at the Università degli Studi di Salerno, the programme brought together students and lecturers from the University of Salerno, the University of Porto, and UPV to explore the intersection of technology and the humanities through the creation of innovative projects for the Scuola Medica Salernitana.

Storytelling isn’t just for novels, it can boost the impact of science communication, too. This post explores how different narrative components influence the popularity of science videos on YouTube, based on the study A Good Story Well Told. From emotional arousal to narrative twists, it looks at what makes a story not only good, but powerful.

What makes a science video on YouTube go viral (or at least become popular?) A study by Welbourne and Grant analyzes 390 videos across 39 channels to understand how content factors such as communicator continuity, speaking pace, and engagement shape video popularity.
