Entropy for Life

My work includes primary-literature research, scientific fact-checking, scripts and articles, this map’s data collection and visualization, and designing and operating the WordPress website. I also created the data visualizations in AIRC reels that feature them; complete productions are collaborative.

Client context: Entropy for Life is an Italian science-communication project covering biology, evolution and the environment, with 500K+ combined followers and subscribers across its social accounts.

Gray Swan testing record

40 Arena unique breaks

Arena: #426 · 1,430 points · 415 submissions. Captured 13 October 2026.

Proving Ground: #81 · top 5% · 127 platform-recorded breaks across chat, image, agent and indirect challenges. Captured 13 October 2026.

Dated platform results. Arena and Proving Ground are separate; the evidence page preserves the displayed-total discrepancy.
