Had a great time at @sidb-edinburgh.bsky.social last week, giving a seminar on how researchers can engage with the media — from interview prep to dos & don’ts. Great questions, great energy — shows the appetite for connecting science & society.

Wrapping up my @erc.europa.eu funded @frontiersmedia.bsky.social Fellowship at @istaresearch.bsky.social. In 4.5 months, I gave talks on science journalism, visited Austrian newsrooms and connected with researchers and journalists worldwide. Grateful for the opportunity and excited for what’s next!

Spoke at @viennabiocenter.bsky.social last week about my path from lab bench to newsroom. I talked science journalism (what it is + isn’t), how to talk to journalists, and how to start in #scicomm.
Thanks to @irmaquerques.bsky.social & @vbcscitraining.bsky.social for having me!

Had a blast talking at @istaresearch.bsky.social’s Think & Drink last Friday! @clarewatson.bsky.social and I shared how we went from lab bench to newsroom, and why trust, curiosity & scientist voices matter in journalism. Thanks to all who joined!

Tomorrow I’m joining four amazing colleagues from around the globe to talk about science journalism — how it can offer clarity, hope, and accountability in uncertain times. Don’t miss it! More info at: ista.ac.at/en/news-even...

As a @frontiersmedia.bsky.social Fellow, I’m excited to explore a fascinating question at @istaresearch.bsky.social: How do living systems—from embryos to animal colonies—self-organize? At ISTA, I’ll engage with researchers studying this phenomenon from various angles. #FRONTIERSFellow

Had an amazing time at the @frontiersmedia.bsky.social training at @itqbnova.bsky.social! It was fantastic meeting other FRONTIERS fellows and discussing a wide range of topics—from reporting about frontier research to the role of AI in science journalism.

I’m incredibly honored to have been awarded a grant for #ScienceJournalism funded by the European Research Council! This grant will allow me to dedicate time to what I love most—delving into fascinating scientific discoveries and sharing them with the world. Stay tuned!
