INFO WARS: On the ethics of crisis communication@GESDA
This cool deck was presented by Federico Germani, Nikola Biller-Andorno and myself at the Geneva Science and Diplomacy week. The COVID-19 crisis unveiled an underlying tension in contemporary societies. In order to protect people rapidly and efficiently, governments started to adopt paternalistic strategies. Citizens’ autonomy has been put off the table in two senses: 1.…

Telegram Social Listening: a mixed-methods approach@IBME ReCo
No slides this time – it’s some sort of experiment. For this presentation of our Telegram paper I decided to go old school, preparing a handout instead than a deck, and focussing more on the storyline. Yup there’s data to show, but showing data can be done even without powerpoint, innit? The handout is loaded…

Data sharing is the future. With a FAIR database of individual patient experiences@DI
Slides presented at the DIPEx International Meeting 2021(b) DIPEx is a database of individual patient experiences. But what kind of database do we run it on? i.e.: how do we organize these data so that they stay FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) for as long as possible, for both people and machines? Here are…

Nerd approaches to scientific literature@IBME ReCo
This is a long but incredibly useful presentation. I’ve put it together for the course on publications and academic writing the IBME offers to its PhD students, trying to explain some of the black magic I do to reduce to the minimum the time I have to dedicate to reading heaps of papers, trying to…

«What is really important? What matters for real?» An international study on COVID-19 patient’s experiences Status update and future perspectives@DI
Slides presented at the DIPEx International Meeting 2021(a) Global events happen (also) locally. So what’s the right perspective to understand them? Cultures shape the interpretation of phenomena. So how can we build a common analytical framework? Diversity is richness. So how can we preserve it, but keep the analysis manageable?

PubliCo. Together through the crisis@4th WHO Infodemics Conference
Surprise: this time there’s more than a deck of slides. There’s a video, because this was none other than the 4th WHO infodemic conference. PS: I think it’s the first time in history that someone presents stuff to a WHO event from Solagna, my tiny tiny ancestral home village 😛

Doing research in bioethics using empirical methods@DMM Postgraduate Course in Bioethics
I presented these slides during the Postgraduate Course in Bioethics 2020 – 2021 organized by the Department of Molecular Medicine of the University of Padova. Yay, back home!

Vero o falso? Capire la realtà al tempo dell’infodemia: una questione di metodo@Verdi
Cosa vuol dire “infodemia”? Come orientarsi in un mare di informazioni, non sempre vere? Quali aspetti tenere d’occhio, nel contenuto o nel contenitore, per individuare una notizia falsa? Se queste competenze sono utili nella vita “normale”, l’epidemia di COVID-19 ci ha insegnato che ci sono contesti in cui si rivelano fondamentali. Il trucco? Beh, è…
Lectures and presentations
Those who do not share their slides after publicly presenting them shall burn in eternal flames.
As I’d rather not being a kebab for the eternity, here I collect my lectures and presentations – mostly in English, sometimes in Italian, depending on context&public.
