Projects and activities

As an enthusiastic about science popularization and initiatives for EDI (Equity, Diversity and Inclusion), whenever possible I participate in educational activities within and beyond the academic context. Recently, I have been committed to:
-
 Teaching  basic coding and data analysis through active learning as a certified instructor of The Carpentries;
-  Science popularization, as a reviewer of the Beagle blog.
Below there are some examples of activities for science popularization and inclusion I've done in the past.
