In this episode, Marco and Alessandro chat with Dario Fé, an Italian scientist working for DLF-Seeds a Danish cooperative and one of the largest seed producers in the market of forage and turf grasses - as well as a guest researcher at Aarhus University.
In this interview of Supernova Podcast, Dario Fé guides us through the process of raising and breeding plants. The many ways we can manipulate the breeding of plants to our own goals are impressive, and Dario Fé will talk about it today: genetic manipulation in plants and the many ways in which plants, essential to our survival, can reproduce and produce food for our consumption.
Dario Fé has studied Agricultural and environmental sciences at the University of Perugia (Italy) and wrote his PhD at Aarhus University (Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics). The title of the thesis was “Establishing the basis for Genomic Prediction in Perennial Ryegrass”. Genomic prediction consists on predicting phenotypes (observable characteristics) of individuals based on their DNA. In animals and plants this allows to identify the best individuals and select them as parent as soon as they are born or germinated.

In this first Supernova episode, Marco and Alessandro chat with Max Carinelli, singer, teacher and author, about the voice: that natural instrument we all have but no one seems to fully be aware of.
Max discusses in depth the types of voice each person can have, the different uses we make of our voice and how to change from a “throat voice” to a “chest voice”. How voice can change the way we are perceived or how actors use their voices to consciously provoke feelings in the audience.
This episode will indeed show us more about the fascinating tool that is the voice.
Max has an impressive background in teaching, but also in the world of music. He manages two Wall Street schools of English in Italy, an original singer and songwriter, a severe teacher, a committed father or two, a life enthusiast, a Kayak rower, a classic cars lover, a fountain pen user, who still believes a call is better than a WhatsApp message.
