Ciao! I’m
Simone Ramello.

I help researchers communicate their work at the subtle intersection of clarity, rigour, and imagination.

Simone leading a storytelling workshop for mathematicians

Storytelling for the working mathematician

How can we use stories to communicate mathematics?
In this workshop, targeted at early-career mathematicians, we walk through the basics of science communication and the central ideas of storytelling. We learn how to identify the fundamental parts of a story and its workings. We then see how storytelling can be used in the communication of scientific research, and mathematics in particular.
