Good morning, my name is Francesca and I come from Italy. I have a Master's degree in Behavioral and Cognitive Neurosciences and a Bachelor's in Biological Sciences. I have extensive research experience thanks to multiple research projects done throughout my studies. I have always loved to do my research in an interdisciplinary framework, at the intersection between neuroscience, psychology biology and social sciences. During my academmic career, I’ve gained experience designing experiments, scripting data analyses in Python and R, and communicating results clearly to diverse audiences. In particular, I had extensive training in literature research, summarization of information and analytical thinking, academic writing, and presentation of complex concepts through different methods including powerpoint presentations, informative videos and scientific posters. I would be really interested in applying my skills to spread science knowledge in an accesible way. Thank you for considering my application. Francesca
