SARAGA COMMUNICATIONS

I wrote the portrait of two scientists from Turkey and Israel, focussing on their views on science diplomacy.

I wrote a long report on antibiotic resistance and consumption for science.lu, creating and adapting 12 infographics and going from the overuse of antimicrobials in humans and livestock to the difficult search for new drugs.

Are economic inequalities really growing in Europe? Not so much, according to the scientific evidence I summarized for science.lu, including 10 infographics.

Unending "wars over water" are more myth than reality. I have coordinated an infographic and written an article about international water treaties for Horizons.

When do we trust our doctor, when not? I have spoken to medical education specialist Raphael Bonvin for Universitas, the magazine of University of Fribourg

I have reported on the Clock of the Long Now for the magazine Europa Star. This device aims at keeping track of time for the next 10 000 years.

I have investigated for the magazine L’environnement how Swiss cities are integrating vegetation and a natural water cycle to implement the vision of green-blue cities.

What’s like to retire from a lifelong career in research? I wrote for Horizons portraits of two former scientists: a pioneer in building physics and a software engineer for international space telescope collaborations.

Western societies are not as polarized as popular opinion suggests. I summarized the current scientific evidence on political and societal polarization for science.lu, the news portal of FNR Luxembourg.

Academia has often been reactive and discreet about animal research. Not so anymore: they are now pledging to communicate proactively and openly. I wrote about this for Universitas, the magazine of the University of Fribourg.

How to best communicate uncertainty? I gave a few possible answers in a short chapter published in an open-access book summarizing 50 tips on science communication.

Horizons published my portrait of Edy Portmann, a computer scientist who promotes fuzzy logic in his work at the University of Fribourg. He is a clever, endearing self-doubter with a penchant for philosophy.
