Who Are We,
the Club Leaders?
Camilla Fezzi, LEADER AND DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
I love reseraching and studying is my passion. I am 18 years old and my dream is to become a resercher in the medical field. My real passion is made up of scientific subjects, but humanistic subjects are also an important point to broaden everyone's culture. Knowing philosophy, for example, opens the mind towards that horizon to which I always tend to find myself. Recently, I was asking myself what I would do in my future, and, from my desk, I was looking for a way to ensure that my intellectual abilities could help the world. And it is with this idea and passion that I thought of a plausible future in the medical research sector, particularly oncology. Fortunately, I have never had any family members affected by these pathologies, but I have heard that biology, chemistry, medicine, physics, and mathematics are all subjects yet to be explored and discovered. That's why I like them a lot, especially the genetics. I recognize in genes, codons, DNA splicing, RNA and other continuous research reasons that need to be understood and analyzed.
Looking at the sky from my desk, I understood that my study had to serve the world, to help it in its difficulties. From there I started to deepen the studies of genetics, cancer, anatomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry…all research subjects. I had always liked them, but in those afternoons, I understood how much I loved them and how much there is still to discover.
EMIL KOCH, CO-REPRESENTANT, PROFESSORS CONTACT
Hello, I am Emil Koch, a neuroscience researcher, neurodiversity advocate, author, environmental activist, and editor.
I have a diverse range of interests and skills and aim to leverage them in my quest to better the world, be it through volunteer tutoring, climate education & action, or engaging in political activism for neurodiversity. From personal experience in my neurodivergent nature, neuroscience research is exhilarating, especially targeted at neurodivergent diseases and potential early diagnosis and treatment options.
Today, humankind faces a multitude of challenges, from warfare and climate crisis to persistent social barriers for minority groups. Are we humans short-sighted, irrational acting agents? Perhaps. In my view, passion and rationalism can go hand in hand.
I believe in the power of science and technology to disentangle our complex world and the importance of dialogue, storytelling, and strength-based education in fostering a more inclusive and diverse society. We are all humans, so let us build a world where everyone can feel safe, reach their potential, and thrive in dignity.
I seek to contribute to groundbreaking research and work towards a more equitable and sustainable future.
All shared views are totally my own.
