Some girls I met during this stay told me: \"You have to talk about food, given your passion for farmers' markets and local products\". And they suggested I search for UNISG.

In a word, I chose to do 'Edutainment', to educate while having fun. This was successful and allowed me to stand out from the others: they liked my approach, being clear and informed, but also saying things lightly.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today my followers are 85% women, aged between 18-40 years old.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your projects now? What are you working on?<br \/>\n<\/strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I'm continuing to study and I'm attending a Master's degree at the University of Pisa in sustainable development and climate change: for me, education is a lifelong pursuit and I want to keep learning.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the very fresh news is the publication of my first book, for the types of Slow Food Editore, which comes out in bookstores on May 10th.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea came from Slow Food; they contacted me and proposed to publish with them.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was an exciting experience. Initially, I was worried that I would not have the patience to write down all the ideas I wanted to express. However, the process went smoothly, and I realized that I needed to record the vast amount of information that I produce and process. Writing a book is obviously different from creating videos and IG posts. I am satisfied with the result because I believe that I managed to infuse the book with humor and liveliness, using lots of images, graphs, and keywords.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Above all I want to say that it is a book accessible to all and easy to read.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you feel about talking about challenging topics: have you ever feared receiving criticism from the scientific community?<br \/>\n<\/strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe at the beginning, but I've actually learned how to communicate better, I have a way that avoids and prevents criticism.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I talk about scientific topics, I either put them in a metaphors of everyday life, or I abstract a small part and talk only about that. On social media I talk about one topic at a time, a small pill.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I'm not an activist, but I want to communicate environmental issues.
