Social interaction in the elementary classroom. Teaching with objects as a pathway to knowledge and self-knowledge
Joint entry further to the following message:
Dear MSCA fellow / alumna / alumnus,
Today, we are reaching out to you with exciting new ways to communicate your research to pupils and teachers across Europe.
First, we are happy to announce that Science is Wonderful! is back and ready to connect your research to schools near and far. Science is Wonderful! bridges research with schools across the European Union. It celebrates the value and impact of EU-funded research by giving primary and secondary school students the chance to interact with leading researchers and innovators, learn more about their work in engaging formats and ask questions about scientific careers. Since its inception in 2015, Science is Wonderful! has organised an annual science fair that interactively showcases research projects and innovations through presentations, hands-on experiments, games and quizzes.
There are two ways to participate:
(a) You can register for our Science is Wonderful! online competition until 1 December: https://www.scienceiswonderful.eu/competition
This competition will give you a chance to get to find and know a primary or secondary school teacher eager to turn your research into an interactive learning resource for their pupils. Match with a teacher, develop a project proposal together, submit it and get famous! The best proposals will be professionally developed and promoted by the European Commission. Plus there are other small prizes in store, so make sure to register today but no later than 1 December.
(b) You can apply to showcase your research at the Science is Wonderful! fair in March 2023: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/SIWScienceFair2023
On 16-17 March 2023, the European Commission will invite MSCA researchers and alumni to come to Brussels once more and present their research through fun, interactive experiments, games or quizzes to pupils from Brussels and its surroundings. We are expecting up to 5 000 young curious mind, so do not miss out on this opportunity to meet the next generation and share your passion for with them. The European Commission will cover all travel and accommodation costs for you and a colleague. So make sure to submit your proposal no later than 1 December.
Additionally, we encourage you to get involved in the newly launched initiative Researchers at Schools. Linked to the European Researchers’ Night, these projects bring the wonders of science directly to schools – and pupils to the labs! This initiative will allow 2 400 primary and secondary schools and 225 000 pupils in several countries to discover researchers’ work through presentations, hands-on experiments, visits to labs, games, discussions and role-playing. Would you like to take part? Then check out the list of projects taking place all over Europe and get in touch with the organisers.
We hope that you will take part and strengthen the bonds between research and education.
Should you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to get in touch through [email protected]

Genomic breed composition of pure registered Brazilian Gir
Gir is a Bos indicus breed originally from India, first imported to Brazil in 1850. High-performance Dairy Gir has been systematically selected in Brazil from its arrival. Since the major phenotypic difference between Gir in India and Brazil is a higher milk production in the former, it is speculated that Brazilian Gir was strategically crossed with Holstein or another Bos taurus to improve milk yield. This study evaluated the purity of Brazilian Gir breed stocks from BASA Farms in Brazil, trying to identify possible admixture events with other cattle breeds based on DNA analysis.6s
On the application of wavelet transform in jet aeroacoustics
Wavelet transform has become a common tool for processing non-stationary signals in many different fields. The present paper reports a review of some applications of wavelet in aeroacoustics with a special emphasis on the analysis of experimental data taken in compressible jets. The focus is on three classes of wavelet-based signal processing procedures: (i) conditional statistics; (ii) acoustic and hydrodynamic pressure separation; (iii) stochastic modeling. The three approaches are applied to an experimental database consisting of pressure time series measured in the near field of a turbulent jet. Future developments and possible generalization to other applications, e.g., airframe or propeller noise, are also discussed

Comparing the environmental and economic performances of different substrate pre-treatment processes for diamond coating deposition
The deposition of diamond coatings on hard metals substrates is a common strategy to improve mechanical characteristics of parts (e.g. cutting tools), but requires the pre-treatment of substrates. The study aims to investigate the environmental and economic sustainability of two different substrate pre-treatment processes: (i) two-step chemical etching process, and (ii) high-power continuous wave diode laser method. The cradle to gate study considers the superficial treatment of a WC-Co specimen as functional unit. The Life Cycle Assessment results highlight that for most of the ReCiPe impact categories, the environmental impact of laser treatment is greater than that of the chemical process (+38% in case of Climate Change, +45% in case of ReCiPe endpoint Single score), mainly due to the high energy consumption of the laser. The cost estimation, instead, highlights relevant savings for the laser process (about -98%), due to higher cost of chemicals than for electricity
