About Your Instructor
Hi! I'm Dr Tullio Rossi, award-winning science communicator, marine biologist, and graphic designer. As the Founder of the science communication agency “Animate Your Science,” I help researchers tell their story to the world.
I've had the privilege of training over 4,000 researchers from 45 countries in the art of effective science communication since 2017. The guidance I provide in my trainings is based on years of real-world experience, using the same techniques we apply daily in our client work.
More recently, I went deep into the AI rabbit hole, exploring the complexities of AI and the legal landscape around it. Now, I’m in a position to help researchers catch up, so they don’t get left behind in the fast-moving AI revolution. I'm eager to share with you what I’ve learned about using AI to boost productivity and amplify the impact of research.
