Since September 2022 I provide pills of Physics and Cosmology in Sardinian Language, my mother tongue, via TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Check out the videos that I have been uploading as @thesardinian_cosmologist!
Besides my research activity, I have been involved in various outreach and science communication activities, both in Italy and in Sardinia.
I strongly believe in promoting scientific culture as a mean for social inclusion and progress, to be pursued by establishing and strengthening networks among universities, schools and society.
For this reason, I co-founded the cultural association IDeAS (Incontri di Divulgazione e Astrofisica in Sardegna), a long-term project involving both general public and high school students.
The main goals are the following:
- spread scientific knowledge everywhere, through lectures and workshops, as well as artistic performances;
- promote, organize and support local and (inter)national scientific events.
Here are some of my tasks within various IDeAS activities:
2016/on: High School Seminars on Cosmology, Astrophysics and Particle Physics [speaker & co-organizer];
2018/2019: I and II editions of the IDeAS Summer School, yearly appointment dedicated to late High School and early Bachelor students from all the institutes in Sardinia, with the support of Associazione LaboratorioScienza, Fondazione di Sardegna, the Physics Department of Cagliari University, and INFN - Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare [speaker & co-organizer];
2018/2019: CosmiCollage, an experimental theatre show on Cosmology, Music & Literature, performed at several theatre festivals and science communication events (e.g. III Transistor Festival, XI Cagliari FestivalScienza, Sharper Cagliari 2018) [author & performer];
2019/on: sponsorship and co-organization of international scientific events (Pint of Science, Sharper, FameLab);
2021/2022: Nuovi Dialoghi sui Massimi sistemi & I edition of GRAVITASFest, a series of online informal seminars on science and philosophy ending up with an outreach festival, promoted by INFN [member of the Scientific Committee & speaker];
2023/on: #scientziainsardu LIVE, a theatre monologue in Sardinian language about Gravitational Waves and the exploitation of international research for social progress, performed in several occasions (e.g. Sharper Nuoro 2023, Cagliari FestivalScienza 2024) [author & performer];
2023: Cuatru Cuartus de Scièntzia, a series of 4 outreach events, multilingual, in between art & science, supported by INFN, INAF, GSSI and Physics Department of UniCa [co-organizer & performer].
2023/on: Scièntzia in Bidda, a series of open, plurilingual, public debates bringing together international science and Sardinian culture.
