SARAGA COMMUNICATIONS

Unending "wars over water" are more myth than reality. I have coordinated an infographic and written an article about international water treaties for Horizons.

When do we trust our doctor, when not? I have spoken to medical education specialist Raphael Bonvin for Universitas, the magazine of University of Fribourg

I have reported on the Clock of the Long Now for the magazine Europa Star. This device aims at keeping track of time for the next 10 000 years.

I have investigated for the magazine L’environnement how Swiss cities are integrating vegetation and a natural water cycle to implement the vision of green-blue cities.

What’s like to retire from a lifelong career in research? I wrote for Horizons portraits of two former scientists: a pioneer in building physics and a software engineer for international space telescope collaborations.

Western societies are not as polarized as popular opinion suggests. I summarized the current scientific evidence on political and societal polarization for science.lu, the news portal of FNR Luxembourg.

Academia has often been reactive and discreet about animal research. Not so anymore: they are now pledging to communicate proactively and openly. I wrote about this for Universitas, the magazine of the University of Fribourg.

How to best communicate uncertainty? I gave a few possible answers in a short chapter published in an open-access book summarizing 50 tips on science communication.

Horizons published my portrait of Edy Portmann, a computer scientist who promotes fuzzy logic in his work at the University of Fribourg. He is a clever, endearing self-doubter with a penchant for philosophy.

I have written 10 pieces exploring the science of time from physics to biology, linguistics and psychology. The series has been published in the watchmaking industry magazine Europastar.

New children's hospitals will open in Zurich, Lausanne, Saint-Gall, Chur, Lucerne and Geneva in the next few years. They follow a new paradigm: making children feel comfortable and integrating their families as therapy partners. I have looked at projects in Lausanne and Geneva for the Bulletin des médecins suisses

Medical influencers active on Tiktok, Instagram or Youtube, explain diseases, talk about treatments, and report on the daily life as a doctor or a nurse. Most deliver serious content, others are less thorough. I have written about these “medfluencers” for the Bulletin des médecins suisses.
