Best: Interacting with national and international colleagues.

Worst: Having to reject manuscripts that are not suitable for publication

3 words: team player, creative, good-humored

Strangest request: To read their entire master’s thesis. To publish their article by a certain (unreasonable) date to accommodate a tenure review process.

Relax?: Read in the sun at the beach, travel, spend time with my rare breed Bergamasco sheepdog, Bella Ragazza dell’Albera ("Reggae").
