Outreach
Science communication and public engagement play crucial roles in disseminating research findings, advancing knowledge for the general public, supporting multilingualism as well as improving interpersonal communication. I enjoy participating in interviews, colloquia, creating blog articles and videos, and assuming roles in communities dedicated to promoting multilingualism, interculturality, and effective communication
