Núria López, chemist: “They asked me to appear in the photos ‘so that it was seen that there was a woman’”

For chemist Núria López, being in the top 1% of the most cited scientists in the world according to the latest Clarivate ranking is not a destination but the result of a sustained trajectory at the elite level of research. Her career is marked by intuitions and the idea of turning problems into resources. This logic now guides her work at the Institut Català d’Investigació Química (ICIQ) in Tarragona, where she seeks to convert CO₂ into fuel and close the carbon cycle.

The rift between Florenci and Jordi Pujol comes to light

Florenci Pujol lived with growing anguish in the last years of his life. The use that his son, Jordi, made of Banca Catalana worried him greatly. This is evident from the unpublished entries of the diary of his son-in-law, Francesc Cabana, to which La Vanguardia has had access. Cabana, 91 years old, is the widower of Jordi Pujol’s sister. In 1988, the lawyer and economic historian published Banca Catalana. Personal Diary, a history of the entity of which he was secretary general, general director, and vice president. The volume included some entries from his diary during the time at the bank. Cabana’s personal diary, however, contained more notes that he did not include at that time.

In January 1937, when he accepts the commission from the Spanish Republic to create a large mural for the International Exhibition in Paris, Picasso is living what he would later recall as “the worst time of my life.” The painter is 54 years old and his previously carefree polygamy is showing its teeth: the divorce from Olga Koklova has become a nightmare; Marie-Thérèse Walter, the lover with whom he had started a relationship when she was still underage, has made him a father again (Maya) and he has fallen in love again with the artist and photographer Dora Maar.

Since the post-World War period, the U.S. has launched its wars with fearsome displays of force and cutting-edge technology. Overwhelming victories in the initial battles that, however, end disappointingly. The Korean War ended in a stalemate. In Vietnam, with a humiliating

The wooden doors of most of the nearly 200 vaulted shops surrounding the outer part of the grand Naqsh-e Jahan square are closed. The printed fabrics, carpets, carved copper objects, among other products sold in this bazaar that has fascinated tourists for centuries, now gone, are kept inside by order of the authorities. Many of the families who usually take advantage of this time on a spring day to have a picnic have not arrived either, much less the teenage girls – many of them without veils – who enjoy riding around the square on electric motorcycles.
