Jasveer Kaur last saw her son pre-pandemic. Now the Punjabi mother of three has only memories, faded photos – and stories of a freak farm accident that ended his life and shed light on the grip that gangmasters exert over Italy’s migrant labour market.

Retinol-binding protein (RBP) is the retinol-specific transport protein present in plasma. The available crystal structures of different forms of RBP have provided details of the interactions of this binding protein with retinol, retinoids, and transthyretin (TTR, one of the plasma carriers of thyroid hormones). The core of RBP is a beta-barrel, the cavity of which accommodates retinol, establishing with its buried portions apolar contacts.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I started freelancing as a journalist after years spent in the news production and distribution at Euronews. When I decided to switch to journalism I already had experience working in a newsroom, that’s why I started pithing stories to Euronews as a freelancer. My report were EU focused since the beginning but when I gained confidence I have started also reporting worldwide affairs from outside the EU.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, maybe when I was 10 for a history assignment at school. I belong to the generation of millennials who have memories of a world without internet and PC…but who are now completely dependent on them.

How is social media changing news?

I think social media are a great tool for journalists to collect information and material. Surely thanks to social media it is now possible to report on events, places or behaviors that were hard to cover. However, they also increased the circulation of fake news, generating confusion or misperception of reality by the wider audience. In such a fast paced world social media have shaped the news industry focusing on the speediness rather than on the quality of the information.
