Fantastic Professors and Where to Find Them: Frida.Unito.it explains it

15 June 2020 / in Events, News / by

Have you ever wondered what University professors do when they are not teaching? Now you can find out by listening to a podcast that narrates their lives once lectures are over, and takes a peek at their research, passions and curiosity!

Fantastic Professors and Where to Find Them has been created and produced by editorial staff at frida.unito.it, Università di Torino’s research portal. The podcast is mainly aimed at university students of today and of tomorrow and allows them to discover the behind the scenes of what their professors do. Their work does not only consist in teaching, but it is also made out of exciting challenges in contributing to the progress of human knowledge, of curious anecdotes and a lot of passion.

The personal journey of researchers at Università di Torino can also serve as inspiration for students choosing a career and deciding how to shape their future.
From the very beginning, the podcast is multidisciplinary and a fruitful contamination among different disciplines. The leitmotif of the third season is cinema: the discussion of each topic -from particle physics to gender studies, from phytopathology to artificial languages- will be accompanied by suggestions of one or more movies, creating a mutual cross-reference between cinematographic insights and more recent breakthroughs in scientific, social and humanistic research.

The podcast is hosted by Giulia Alice Fornaro, scientific journalist and editor at frida.unito.it and by Giovanni Mauriello, content creator and founder of uonnabi.

On the one hand, they ensure that all students complete their course of study, without delays or learning gaps, also incorporating activities (typical of practical courses of study) requiring access to labs, software and equipment specific to the course. On the other hand, they have developed an economic aid plan to support students from families affected by the crisis and taken into account the difficult situations that have arisen due to the current circumstances.

In addition to those services, students also have the possibility to borrow materials and equipment specific to the course, which will allow them to access external processing services, such as the jewellery design course. This will also allow them to access some of the Institute’s laboratories and rooms, such as the recording room for the sound design course. Access will be controlled and regulated by pre-established schedules and turns.
