Algunes d’aquestes notícies són relacionades amb els temes de recerca més propers, però d’altres es tracta de notícies curioses o que connecten amb alguna de les meves dèries.

Cadascuna d’aquestes notícies mereixeria una entrada per sí mateixa, però com no he tingut temps d’escriure-les… doncs les agrupo aquí.
