It's getting real πŸŽ‰ Reach out with questions, suggestions, or feedback - honestly, I can think of little else lately, so I’m all ears! πŸ˜‰

In Italy, female STEM graduates are fewer than 25% - with Penne, we're trying to change the narrative: out of 330 female scientists volunteering for our project, 238 are women. Representation matters! #womeninstem #womenandgirlsinscience #IDWGIS

Thank you! This is truly a passion project started in 2018 that has grown into a full blown association connecting Italian primary schools with scientists thus promoting scientific reasoning, scientific careers, and diversity in science πŸ’™

Finally, as an Italian living abroad, I find it essential to contribute to the Italian contextβ€”to give back to the nation that raised me. Thanks to the hundreds of scientists, teachers, and students that make if possible! πŸ’™

First, I had no idea what it meant to be a scientist, nor that it was an accessible path for someone like me, until I actually embarked on it. Second, our society suffers from a poor understanding of the scientific method, both its powers and its limitations.

I'm biased, but my colleagues of the @nccrlanguage.bsky.social are amazing - see work on semantic compositionality (www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... + doi.org/10.1098/rstb...) and the debate on arbitrariness/optionality (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...). I'll ask for review(s) recommendation!
