It represents an inclusive and equitable model in biodiversity genomics
Designs on stone cylinders dating back six thousand years correspond to some signs of the proto-cuneiform script that emerged in the city of Uruk, in southern Iraq, around 3350–3000 BCE. This discovery, made by a research team at the University of Bologna, offers a direct connection in the transition from prehistory to history
A study conducted by the University of Bologna experimented a ‘biodiversity intervention’: for 15 days, during a summer camp, 10 children living in urban areas interacted with horses for about 10 hours a day in an educational farm. At the end of the time spent in a rural area, the children’s gut microbiota had been enriched with health-promoting bacteria and anti-inflammatory metabolites
