About

Ciao! Nice to have you here on my blog page.

My name is Michela and I have lived in the Netherlands for the past ten years. Still, when I have the chance to cook orecchiette con le rape you will know where my roots are, especially if you are Italian! Little help: I took this photo from Peschici, a town on the cost of Gargano. This is where I spent all my summers when I grew up.

Professionally speaking, I started by graduating in Agricultural Science and I specialised in Plant molecular biology and genetics by doing a PhD in Italy and in the Netherlands. So, it goes without saying, I love to be involved in scientific research. Since almost five years, I work as project manager in a Breeding company in the Netherlands.

During my long PhD life, and slightly before that, I met many people of different nationalities with whom I shared ideas, passions, struggles, dreams, hopes and advices. I received and learnt a lot from these exchanges and I want to give something back.

That’s why I hope you find here what you are looking for. And if not, write me and I will be more than happy to get in touch with you.
