Hello. My name is Massimo Sandal , a fellow born in 1981 in La Spezia, Liguria, Italy, one of the most deliciously misanthropic places of the world.
I then moved ten years to Bologna to pursue my M.Sci. and Ph.D.
I currently live in Cambridge , England.
My Erdos number is 6.
What do I do
Good question. Since childhood, I always wanted to be a scientist, and I have been one until recently: I came in Cambridge as a postdoc at the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge. My work has been until now focused on the biophysics of protein folding and aggregation.
However for reasons better explained here I am currently in a pause from academia. I still want to do science in a way or the other; we will see how. Nice challenge.
I also begun collaborations for popular science journalism.
What I do too
Apart from work, my most cherished wastes of time are:
- Reading a lot of books
- Writing software (mostly using Python)
- Editing Wikipedia
- Doodling with computer stuff (Linux-based mostly)
- Writing (not so much time for that lately)
In general, I waste too much time on the Internet.
