With the start of Phase 2 of the health emergency, like INGV we have maintained all the precautions to protect personnel, but we are always guaranteeing all the monitoring operations adopted from the very first moments with #INGVoperativosempre, to represent to Italy that the The Institute has never stopped with the 24-hour activity of the seismic and volcanic surveillance rooms in Catania, Naples and Rome, supported by the vitality, sense of duty and initiative of all employees in "agile work". Earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are always lurking and INGV continues to study them to increase knowledge that allows us to increase the level of safety day after day for the protection of all of us citizens.
L'GUEST OF HONOR
Women, research and gender equality: interview with Sveva Avveduto
The issue of gender equality is today at the center of the attention of world public opinion, so much so that it is included in the fifth point of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations. The issue touches many areas and does not spare the world of science and research, where a gap persists between women and men in terms of employment, salary and career opportunities. We talked about it with Sveva Avveduto, emeritus researcher and former director of the CNR Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies, who carries out activities in the scientific policy area with particular regard to studies on human resources for research, gender and the social aspects of technology. For the occasion, Dr. Avveduto also told us something about herself and her career as a researcher.

A RESEARCHER'S LIFE
INTERVIEW A
The call of "A muntagna" has captured her too. Rosa Anna Corsaro, who grew up on the slopes of Etna, tells us about her life at 360 degrees, touching on numerous personal and non-personal themes. From the passion for sewing, embroidery and crochet to the difficult choices of women in the world of work. The portrait that emerges is of a researcher, of a passionate and positive woman, a mix that is undoubtedly fundamental for facing today's life.

LAB EXPERIENCES
A Lab whose roots date back to the early XNUMXs, which over time has reached levels of precision and accuracy that are among the highest in the world. The Headquarters of Palermo of the INGV hosts the Noble Gas Isotopes Laboratory, born with the aim of acquiring new parameters in the geochemical surveillance of free and fumarolic gases from the main Italian volcanic areas through the measurement of the helium isotope ratio. To find out more, we asked the manager, Andrea Rizzo, a few questions.

MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP
INGV alongside the community in the fight against Covid-19
The delicate topicality linked to the global health emergency from Covid-19 has made its irruption, as natural as it was, also in all the offices that INGV has on the national territory. Researchers, technicians and officials of the Institute, in fact, starting from the very first stages of the so-called "Phase 1" of the emergency, began to regularly carry out their work activities from home, complying with the directives of the Government and the Civil Protection Department which invited to adopt smart working measures as much as possible.
