Bassma EL BAKKOURI
Hello! My name is Bassma and I am a master’s student in Agricultural Science and Technology at the University of Catania in Italy. I am currently studying topics related to agriculture, sustainability, and food systems.
My main academic interests include:
- Sustainable agriculture
- Agroecology
- Food safety
- Fruit tree cultivation
- Mediterranean agricultural systems
I am particularly interested in how agricultural practices can contribute to sustainable food production and environmental protection.
Outside my studies, I enjoy reading and learning about new topics, walking and spending time in nature, and discovering different cultures and languages.
In the future, I would like to work in areas related to agriculture, sustainability, plant protection or food systems, contributing to the development of more sustainable agricultural practices.
Päivi Visuri
Liikun luonnossa, kirjoitan ja kuuntelen maailman ääniä. Haluan nähdä niitäkin pieniä tapahtumia, jotka jäävät helposti ilman huomiota tässä suuren maailman menossa. Pienistä puroista syntyy suuria jokia, vai miten se suomalainen sanonta kuuluukaan.
Puiden siimeksessä on hyvä hengittää ja nähdä riittävän lähelle. Sanontaa “ei näe metsää puilta” olen miettinyt usein. Jos puut estävät näkemästä koko metsää vai onko niin, että puut pyrkivät olemaan enemmän esillä yksilöinä kuin ryhmänä.
Tässä on minun sanaselitteeni.
Luonnon äärellä on hyvä olla

DIANA MORLOTE
Hi! My name is Diana, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Medicine. I have a background in Biology and a strong interest in biomedical research. Earlier in my career, I worked on research related to tumor vascularization, which helped me develop a deeper interest in understanding diseease mechanisms.
My current research focused on biomarkers of atherosclerosis. Alongside my PhD, I work as a Study Coordinator in clinical studies related to atherosclerosis, where I contribute to the organization and coordination of research projects.
Outside of my academic work, I am very passionate about sports and spending time in nature. Having studied Biology, I hace always felt a strong connection with the nature and I enjoy outdoor activities whenever I can.
I also love everything related to art and creativity. I enjoy exploring different forms of creative expression, including photography, plastic arts and crochet.
Here I attach the image of my word cloud:
Parsy Charles
Hello! My name is Charles and I am a student from France.
I am passionate about music and I play in different bands. I am drummer in a group called Black Baccara. Music is a big part of my life and I like discovering new styles and improving my skills.
I am also very interested in sports, especially basketball. I like playing and following games.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling and discovering new places, cultures, and people.

ROBERTA RIZZO
My name is Roberta, but you can call me Rorarta. I am a PhD student in Biotechnology, with a focus on Physiology and Neuroscience, at the University of Catania.
I have an unquenchable curiosity for the inner workings of the human body and brain.
My study delves into intricate disease pathways, ranging from neurodegenerative illnesses to uncommon and severe brain cancers like glioblastoma.
I chose this path because I feel a strong need to advocate for others and use science as a way to make a real difference in people’s lives (yep, classic complicated INFJ).
I’m a proud nerd outside of the lab because I adore cosplay, manga, anime, and Japanese culture.
I’m also a 猫派 (nekoha), a true cat person , as a japanese would say!
Being neurodivergent also gives me what you would call a “superpower”, the ability to recognize patterns, think creatively, and combine analytical rigor in novel ways.
My goal?
To become a scientific communicator who helps people understand the hidden magic of how our brains actually function by making neuroscience more approachable, visible, and human.
Ana Sobrino Santos
Hello! My name is Ana Sobrino Santos and I am a PhD candidate in Information and Communications Technologies in Mobile Networks at the University of Cantabria (UC), Santander, Spain. I work at the Photonics Engineering Group from UC and IDIVAL.
My research focuses on new technologies for healthy ageing, developing solutions for early physical and cognitive impairments through sensor-based monitoring and biometric systems.
Lately, I have also been taking my first steps into science communication. Although speaking in public does not come naturally to me, I really enjoy finding ways to make research accessible to everyone, from school children to the general public.
In my free time, I enjoy walking in nature, especially the beautiful landscapes of Cantabria, travelling with my friends, and going to concerts.
Here is my word cloud:
Borja García García
Hi! I’m Borja García García, a Physics graduate from the University of the Basque Country (EHU) with a Master’s degree in Light Science and Engineering from the University of Cantabria (UC). Throughout my academic journey, one subject has consistently drawn my curiosity: light. From optics and photonics to their role in helping us understand the world more deeply, I’ve always been fascinated by the power of light and the many applications it already has, as well as the ones it may inspire in the future
I started my scientific career in the Photonic Engineering Group at the University of Cantabria exploring fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, laser processing, and advanced photonic devices. I am currently a PhD student in this group, working on the development of new devices based on spectroscopic techniques for pathogen identification and detection, with applications ranging from water quality analysis and phytoplankton monitoring to the detection of bacteria in clinical settings.
Beyond the lab, the Photonic Engineering Group has a strong outreach spirit, and I really enjoy sharing photonics and our work with others. We even have an outreach project that takes us to schools all across Cantabria: La Fotónica se Mueve por Cantabria! In this work, I believe creativity is just as important as quality, as reflected in my word cloud:
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends, as well as learning about and reading science from fields outside my own. I also enjoy building small devices and experimenting at home with electronics, 3D printing, and lasers. I’m always curious to understand how things work!
