Outreach / Community projects

Replicards 🧬

Together with Elia Mascolo, we developed an interactive class for science teachers to teach biological evolution through a card game. In the activity, students are led to rediscover how replicants can inherit mutations and undergo evolution by natural selection if the inheritable characteristics can affect their reproductive success.
We made the content publicly available and freely re-usable on this [website] and have also shared it as a [preprint].

Magazine Perspectives 📖

Since 2020, I have been involved in the content creation of the magazine “Perspectives” for Fresco, a French national organisation involved in popularising cognitive sciences, while targeting diverse audiences.
I coordinated a thematic issue on altruism in animals for the first issue and am currently an editor for the second issue.
You can access the first issue here (in French): [Numero 1] and our second issue should be out in the Fall 2026!
