I started interacting with Chiara Santinelli since she was an undergraduate student, when she was a bit shy but already iperactive. Later, she helped me to appreciate to multifaceted role of DOM, which I had only considered for the intriguing polysaccharide exudation by phytoplankton. Since then we have been collaborating in several projects, sharing ideas, gossiping about people, and enjoying our friendship. Besides being a brilliant and very dynamic scientist, Chiara is an ideal mentor for any curious and enthusiastic student.

La collaborazione con Chiara Santinelli e La!DOM è stata una piacevolissima sorpresa. Abbiamo lavorato in armonia e perfetta condivisione. Insieme abbiamo creato un precedente su come far rendere al massimo il lavoro tra un ente di ricerca ed una azienda, raggiungendo lo scopo di produrre uno strumento di analisi efficace.

Thanks to the University of Miami’s Mary Roche Fellowship, I worked with La!DOM in 2016, analyzing seawater samples from the Black Sea. Working with Chiara Santinelli and La!DOM was a highlight from graduate school. Not only was my experience in the lab great, they were gracious in sharing Italian culture and made Pisa feel like a home away from home. I look forward to returning the next chance I get!
