Ciao! I am a mathematician and storyteller.
I like to think, write and talk about data, society, scientific research, civil rights, and the ways these things intersect. I work in both English and Italian.
I am currently a student of the Master in Comunicazione della Scienza at SISSA, Trieste, Italy. Previously, I was a PhD student at the Cluster of Excellence “Mathematics Münster”, in Münster, Germany.

🧮 We Don’t Talk About The Integers
