The Second Episode of Inclusioni is Now Live!

The second episode of Inclusioni, the podcast of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in collaboration with Fuori Aula Network, is now available on major platforms.

This episode features an interview with Elodie Chabrol, an expert in communication and science outreach (find her on Instagram and X @eloscicomm). Elodie joined the department on 15-16 February for the seminar “Master Science Communication on Social Media”, a deep dive into strategies for communicating science and innovation through social media and podcasts.

With a background in neurogenetics, Elodie has dedicated herself to science communication. She co-founded Pint of Science, an international science festival that aims to engage the public with contemporary scientific developments by bringing scientists to pubs, cafes, and other public venues to share their research and discoveries. Elodie is now its director and also trains and informs academics on how to effectively communicate their research to the public across various scientific fields.

The interview is conducted in English and hosted by Giovanni Tallarico.

Happy listening!
