About Your Instructor
Hi! I'm Dr Tullio Rossi, award-winning science communicator, marine biologist, and Founder of Animate Your Science. Since 2017, I've trained over 8,000 researchers from 45 countries in science communication, drawing on real-world experience from our daily client work.
Since ChatGPT made its appearance, I've gone deep into the AI landscape, exploring its capabilities, limitations, and the complex legal and ethical terrain around it. That curiosity, combined with a scientific background and 10 years of training experience, puts me in a unique position to guide researchers through AI responsibly. I'm here to help you use it effectively, confidently, and with the judgement to know when it serves your research and when it doesn't.
