Science Communication · Citizen Science · Data Analysis
Research institutes, NGOs, and international organisations produce ocean and environmental science that matters — and need that science to reach funders, policymakers, and the public in a form they can understand and act on.
Translating that research for those audiences takes a different set of skills than producing it — and without that bridge, knowledge that could change policy and practice stays locked inside the institution.
Thalassa Consulting provides that bridge.
A scientific partner with a PhD in marine ecology and a professional journalism degree — so your research reaches the people who need it, in the form they can use.
Thalassa Consulting is the practice of Tosca Ballerini — marine biologist, trained as a journalist — bringing twenty years of field and research experience to science communication, citizen science, and data analysis and research.
Working in English, Italian, and French, Thalassa collaborates with research institutes, environmental NGOs, and international organisations across the Mediterranean and beyond.
Protecting it — from climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution — is the work of this generation for the next. Science is a common good in that effort: knowledge that reaches its full effect when it travels beyond where it's produced.
That is the part Thalassa exists to play: helping that science reach the people who need it, so it's part of how this generation protects the ocean for the next.
Where science communication meets scientific research. One practice. Three domains.
Multi-format dissemination around research projects, scientific writing and editing for specialist and general audiences, and workshop organisation and facilitation.
Designing, developing, and coordinating citizen science projects, on land and at sea, grounded in up-to-date scientific methodology.
Marine and environmental data analysis and reporting, research and grant proposal writing, and scientific writing for peer-reviewed publication.
Whether you need to bring ocean science to a wider audience, or need the scientific expertise to generate rigorous environmental data — Thalassa Consulting can help.
