It was a strong interest in working with different research fields that led Luigi to first pursue interdisciplinary research, and ultimately a career in publishing.

In this interview we talk about Luigi’s decision to leave the lab and his motivation for the change. We compare the pros and cons of both industries, how Luigi continues to be a part of the scientific community, and how he sees the role of scientist.
