My research is focused on the epidemiology of wildlife species, and my work in multiple terrestrial and marine ecosystems has led me to the conviction that education and social dialogue are the best way for conservation and the future. I am a university professor who loves innovation in education and believes in significant learning as a fundamental tool for understanding. I love art, cinema, architecture, and I believe that culture should be a cross-disciplinary subject in education, as it helps us to understand, to question the vital context and to express ourselves.
