• Remembering Prof. Kåre Larsson

    2018-03-26

    In memory of Kåre Larsson (1937-2018).

    Kåre passed away yesterday, March 25, 2018, after a long suffering because of a stubborn illness that he fought corageously, like a lion.

    We will never forget his fairness and peacefulness, we will always be grateful for his gigantic contribution to Colloid Science and close disciplines. The scientific community mourns for his loss. R.I.P.

    By the rivers of Babylon we sat down; there we wept when we remembered Zion.
    On the willows near by we hung up our harps.
                                                                            Psalm 137

    Memory ought to produce a degree of uneasiness, otherwise it serves no purpose.  
                                                                           Luigi Dei, Molecules of an author in search of memory, FUP 2013

    We do celebrate the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and we honour the defenceless innocent victims of one of the most purulent events in the history of mankind. We pay homage to the survivors who witness that tragedy in our times, and every single time the wound bleeds. And to those who provided a refuge to unknown brothers and sisters, without looking the other way before the nazi ferocity.

    It may happen again. Tomorrow. Or maybe today. Watch out: the evil looks banal.
