Concise application résumé · ORCID record
Entropy for Life
- Since June 2023, I have worked as a paid contractor on primary-literature research, scientific fact-checking and script development. Depending on the assignment, I write, co-write or review content, check claims against sources and adapt English-language evidence for Italian audiences, preserving terminology and scientific context.
- My work includes collecting and organizing data, creating charts and maps, preparing slides and on-screen assets, and researching images. I also contribute to short-form content and selected thumbnail concepts or production, independently or in collaboration with the video editor. Responsibilities vary by project. I personally created the data visualizations in the AIRC reel collaborations that use them; the whole reels are collaborative productions.
- I designed and built entropyforlife.it in WordPress. Since September 2023, my work has included responsive design, publishing, configuration and functionality changes, OVHcloud hosting, DNS, SSL and technical SEO. This combines initial website delivery with ongoing responsibility for its operation.
Wikipedia, Wikidata & Wikimedia Commons
- Review citations, reconcile conflicting records and improve structured metadata across Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons.
- Create sourced biomedical explanations, original vector diagrams, charts and maps; maintain attributable revision and source trails.
University of Padua research project
- Led or co-facilitated approximately 4–5 remote focus groups, supported recruitment and bibliographic research, and helped prepare accessible participation procedures.
- Worked with Marta Panzeri, researchers and a second facilitator on consent, optional captions, written-chat participation, structured prompts, recording boundaries and handoffs. The individual role is self-reported; the linked university record establishes the project context.
Yourself to Science
- Defined resource inclusion criteria, verification fields, provenance, licensing boundaries and the update process.
- Coordinate AI-assisted implementation, inspect behavior, test releases, diagnose deployment issues and maintain the directory.
