About

I run a media and communication agency.

I have studied earth sciences to learn about the natural world, probably inspired by mountain climbing. I have done research in various scientific organizations and countries (Israel, Roumania, Belgium and more) for over 10 years. Year 2004, I have moved into story telling - about our planet and its societies.

I have contributed to magazines and newspapers in Italy (GEO, National Geographic, Wired, Espresso, Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore, Quitouring), Switzerland, Australia, Germany (Die Zeit, GEO), US (Science).

I support scientific organizations in the development of communication strategies and tools (such as press offices), I lecture in science communication and dealing with the media (ETH Zurich; University of Zurich). I develop projects in various science communication fields (science events, science cafes, public lectures) and write science stories and expedition reportages for the media.

Mountain populations, ecology, biology, earth science, nature conservation and novel research are a focus in my work. Research in geomorphology (desertification, landslides, periglacial geomorphology), and journalism as well, brought me to explore nature and cultures around Europe and on all continents (from the Geographic North Pole to the Giant Crystals cave in Mexico).

I am member of the International Federation of Journalists, of the Comedia Swiss syndacate of the media, of the Swiss Club of Science Journalists and of the Science Writers in Milan (SWIM) Italian association.

Recent milestones in my activity:

2011 Winner of the 10th Piero Priazzano prize for Science Journalism Novara, Italy.

2010 First prize at the Premio Internacional de Periodismo Ambiental Casa Mediterraneo (Spain).

2007 Invited Distinguished Fellow at the RMIT in Melbourne (Australia), where I lectured on science communication.

2005 Intern at Science magazine (Cambridge, UK).

2004 Master Course in Scientific Communication at the Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at the Australian National University. Since then I am fully involved in science communication. 

I share my interests not just with the public but with my family as well.
