Federica Sgorbissa

I am a science journalist with nearly 20 years of experience. Over the years, I have collaborated with some of Italy’s most prominent science and culture media outlets, including Le Scienze—the Italian edition of Scientific American—and Mind, a magazine dedicated to psychology and neuroscience from the same group as Le Scienze. I also write about science for Lucy – Sulla conoscenza, Il Tascabile, and Il Post.

My areas of expertise include psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and mental health. I also have extensive experience communicating topics related to astrophysics, cosmology, and the history of science. I hold a degree in psychology, a PhD in cognitive sciences, and a master’s degree in science communication. I am also the coauthor of the book Trieste and Science.

Until now, my work has primarily focused on Italian media outlets, but I am now looking to expand my collaborations internationally. My written English proficiency is at a C2 level, enhanced by extended periods spent abroad, allowing me to write fluently and effectively for an international audience.

In addition to writing, I am a seasoned podcaster with significant experience in podcast production, writing, and hosting. I have a strong background in science fact-checking and some experience in data journalism. I also possess basic skills in video interview production.
