DI PAOLA VALENTINA

Born in 1994, raised on sci-fi and good bread, I hold a degree in Communication Sciences. I’m a lover of books, cats, good food, board games, and nearly anything even remotely linked to nerd culture. I’ve been collaborating with 30Science, a press agency, since January 2020, and in September 2021, I obtained a research fellowship at the press office of the National Research Council’s Institute of Research on Terrestrial Ecosystems. If I had to describe myself with one word, I’d choose tenacious—a more elegant way of saying I’ve been stubborn since before I could even put my thoughts into words. I love writing and drawing, I’m hopelessly messy, but I like to think my family and my prince charming have learned to live with it.

My top 3 dream goals: Learn at least one foreign language (Klingon); See the stars up close (from the TARDIS); Pilot a spacecraft (the Millennium Falcon).
