I'm an aspiring environmental writer, a MSc candidate in Host-Microbe Interactions and a former researcher in microbial ecology. I'm passionate about the surprising ways marine ecosystems and their neighboring communities respond to climate change and how science communication, art and collective effort influence our planetary impacts. I'm based at Skopelos, a small Greek island right next to the largest marine park in the Mediterranean.
