Hello everyone, Thanks a lot for all the useful inputs, a lot of food for thought. To respond to Paolo, this is for Italian students of different schools, and for an adult audience later in the evening, as part of a science festival where we are going to cover how to respond to calamities, medieval castles, AI to manage big events and molecular motors, besides generic drugs - so a pretty broad spectrum.
