Well, good evening.

If you are, depending on where you are,

good afternoon, good morning, good evening,

and it's a pleasure to fly to Volaris

together with you today.

It's a privilege and a pleasure for me.

Volaris in this international dimension

in the dimension of creativity and beauty.

And, I happen to be an MD.

So, I am an MD by education,

an immunologist by vocation,

and the community of immunologists worldwide

the Federation of Immunologists,

I happen to serve as the president

of the federation

for a few years.

And our motto is, Immunology no borders.

And I would say

science no borders,

biomedical research at the service of humanity.

No borders.

And this very place

and what we have been part of tonight

has no borders.

No borders.

To leave you a sense of what no borders means

in the life a medical doctor and scientist

like myself,

yesterday morning

I was in a long conference with India.

In the afternoon with colleagues,

in US, uh, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico,

Latin America,

and this is my coffee break.

Is my coffee break.

I'm actually on a call

in Boston, uh with friends and colleagues in a

in Australia.

And what is that for.

So what?

Well, we're doing that

because this is the best way

to serve creativity in science.

And beauty and creativity has no borders.

And we have a sense of that here

and I think that beauty and creativity

again there is no border

between science and beauty and creativity.

The people know me, know that

I usually use paintings from my favorite artists

from Caravaggio to Caravaggisti Kandinsky

in my lectures.

And I do think

that there is beauty in our whole activity

when we do biomedical research,

when we do genetics on COVID,

as we did here

when the immune response to

the second immune response to COVID,

when we use the most sophisticated technology

including artificial intelligence

whether it's a heart and beauty

in artificial intelligence.

So the message that I get from Volaris

from flying with you,

from Volaris

is a message that I would like

to leave you with is that

biomedical research, medicine, education,

this is a university,

education

beauty, or better, the quest

for biomedical innovation

the quest for for creativity and beauty

should walk,

should fly actually

together.

Should Volaris together

hands in hands,

at the service of health, education,

better health, and humankind

and humanity.

Thank you for being part of this flight.

Thank you.

Grazie.
