Science communication
Writing & Media
I am an avid science communicator and speaker. My science communication has been recognized with awards, including first place in a Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. I write regularly for broader audiences — including my Psychology Today blog and essays and guides for Psyche — and I produced a documentary on mental health disorders for the University of Zurich.

I served as a producer for a scientific-educational documentary published on the University of Zurich’s YouTube channel. A collaborative effort of a brilliant team that worked on it over the course of a year (2024–2025). Thanks to student assistants Aaron Steinhübl, Elisa Tamburini and Sofia Canonica, and to media production specialist Elvira Isenring, for bringing it to life. Feel free to share it or use it in your institution for education and awareness.
