Re: [Yasmin_discussions] resurgence of polymathy ?

Anything of the sort taking place in Italy? Would definitely consider doing
a second PhD.

I'm coming from Arts, Science and Humanities. I don't know if that works.
No STEAM for me, just ASH to ASH.

At any rate, would very much be interested in being part of a research
network based in Italy.

Kind regards
