Biologist and instructional designer based in Belgium, driven by the necessity to make scientific culture accessible and rigorous at all levels. After years of teaching science in secondary schools in Italy and Belgium, I transitioned to creating interactive e-learning content for the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles and developing tangible didactic tools.
I design and manufacture kinaesthetic teaching aids—such as my wooden ribosome model—to bridge the gap between abstract biological concepts and physical understanding. My approach is rooted in what a colleague once described as "arborescent thinking": a multidisciplinary, nonlinear cognitive style that drives my work. My mind is perpetually active, oscillating between intense focus on specific research and the frenetic multitasking required to manage prototyping, writing, and creative exploration.
Beyond science, I am an eclectic spirit. My interests include photography (as a member of a local club), tabletop gaming, and travel—activities that feed my need to test, tinker, and explore.
I believe in fostering critical thinking, participatory science, and the importance of scientific reasoning in addressing modern global challenges, such as climate change and cognitive decline.
This site serves as a platform to share these insights and showcase the development of my Bio'Manip educational kits, which are sustained through the artisanal production of decorative and functional objects.
