Title: 2012-2022 TEN YEARS WITH "PARSEC": from pre main sequence to evolved stars
Abstract:
In an era where observing facilities are providing enormous amounts of high precision stellar data, the reliability of our theoretical predictions is challenged by our still incomplete understanding of the complexity of some macroscopic physical phenomena (accretion, convection, rotation, mass-loss, to list a few of them). This has a significant impact on the derived physical parameters, like stellar age, initial mass, initial composition, etc... Using our stellar evolution code ""PARSEC"", I will focus on the following aspects that deserve particular attention.
Pre-main sequence models and the Zero Age Main Sequence of low mass
 stars. The role of convective and rotational mixing on the evolution of intermediate mass stars. Mass-loss and the advanced evolution of very 
massive stars.
