A Quantum Diaries Survivor

Wow, just a few days of work as new italian minister of Research, and Fabio Mussi has made two huge steps forwards. After canceling a few of the rushed decrees signed by the goner minister Moratti (I will not bore you by explaining why he did a great thing), today Mussi announced he withdrew Italy's veto to european stem cell research in Brussels, which the former government had placed.

Signs of appreciation have come from the world of italian research, while of course opposition parties are crying at the scandal. It was due time to put order in the mess that the former government had created.

I always thought he was a fine politician and an intelligent man, but I'm starting to really admire Mussi.

I just wonder what will be next: an increase of funding to research budgets ? Go Fabio!
