FameLab Trieste - 1st Prize (Scientific commision and Audience)

FameLab is a talent for science communicators. The candidates present a science related topic for 3 minutes without using any digital support in front of a science commission composed by scientists and an audience of 300 high-school students. Unfortunately, I got exluded from the national phase due to some bureau issues.

September 2017 - July 2022
University student representative 

I got elected as university rappresentative - at courses (chemistry B.Sc. and M.Sc.) and departement levels - being an active member in the interaction among students and professors. Moreover, I took part to event organisation of the "ASU" student association.
