Our Editors profiles below:
Anna Napolitano
I believe that only through rigorous yet compelling communication strategies we can all achieve a better understanding of scientific issues. I have started my career as a research scientist by achieving a PhD in immunology at San Raffaele University in Milan. I then moved to London where I worked as a Postdoc in infection immunology at The Francis Crick Institute. My academic background gives me an in-depth knowledge in the fields of immune-oncology and inflammatory diseases. Since the beginning of my career, I have always had a deep interest in the communication of science. Therefore, I have decided to move into science communication and I am now a full-time science writer, science editor and science communicator.

Davide Serpico
I am a philosopher of biology, medicine, and cognitive science. I got a PhD in Philosophy in 2018 from the Northwestern Italian Philosophy Consortium. Between 2017 and 2020, I conducted research and teaching activities at the University of Genoa (IT), the University of Exeter (UK), the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (JP), the Università di Leeds (UK), and the Università di Cambridge (UK).
My education and academic experience allowed me to develop a range of skills relating to academic writing, copyediting, translation, editorial work, and conceptual analysis. Notably, due to my philosophical background, I pay close attention to communication. Thus, when I revise a text, I try to find ways to further clarify a given concept or paragraph. I aim to make any text intelligible to a wider audience, rather than to just a few experts.

Silvia Licciulli
I am a biotechnologist with many years of experience in cancer research. Always convinced that communicating science is as important as doing it, after 12 years in the laboratory, I dedicated myself full time to writing and scientific editing.

Susanna Grazzini
After obtaining my BA and MA in Modern Philology and Contemporary Literature at the University of Siena, I took part in the research and text transcription of the Wikigadda project (http://www.filologiadautore.it/wiki/index.php?title=Pagina_principale) and contributed to the publication of the original and unabridged version of C. E. Gadda’s text Eros e Priapo. In 2013, I gained an MSc in Italian Studies at the University of Edinburgh, where I taught the Italian language, co-organised conferences on C. E. Gadda and co-edited the proceedings.
While my main research line focuses on the linguistic analysis of 20th-century Italian writers and on reception studies (especially in the English-speaking world), I also pursue a strong interest in didactics of the Italian language and second language acquisition.

Valentina Petrolini
I am a philosopher and my work focuses mostly on philosophy of mind, psychology and psychiatry. My research interests include the notion of vulnerability to mental disorders and the boundary between health and pathology. I am also interested in the role that emotions and culture play in psychopathology. I obtained my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Cincinnati in 2017, and before that, I studied at the University of Parma (Italy) and spent research periods at the University of Salzburg (Austria) and at Pitzer College.
I have extensive experience in academic writing, argument analysis, editing and proofreading. Through AIRIediting I offer language and substantive editing services for scientific texts in the humanities and social sciences. Thanks to my interdisciplinary background, I am also equipped to work on texts in clinical psychology, neuroscience, and psychiatry.
