Abstract: Years of ecological study have taught us that relationships determine the Environment in its complexity, made by the habitat and the organisms that live in it. This research aims to highlight how consequences can be underestimated or recognized only within specific subject areas, and how desirable it is to have greater integration between disciplines and more comprehensive studies to address the lack of available data and better understand these relationships as a whole, in order to prevent the possible development of environmental and ecological problems. The atmosphere is an environment both fragile and resistant, closely linked to the life of the planet as we know it. However, an epochal and fast transformation is taking place in the various atmospheric layers in a way never experienced before in the history of the Earth. The unprecedented electromagnetic saturation combined with chemical and physical contamination of the atmosphere has been considered in the fundamental aspects such as microbial transport, and various forms of pollution. The approach that starts from bacteria is intended to be a stimulus to reconsider the role of unicellular organisms as a foundation of the general environmental structure and therefore it seems interesting to observe how they may respond, due to their proven ability to adapt, react and contribute to Life, when significant changes occur. In every environment they are ecological indicators and already participants in atmospheric processes.

Abstract: This article investigates the current landscape of science communication through a series of qualitative interviews with young Italian communicators from diverse academic and professional backgrounds. In a media environment increasingly shaped by social platforms and rapidly evolving formats, questions around quality, ethics, and responsibility become central. The voices collected highlight how expertise, intentions, audience awareness, and the choice of language and medium deeply shape the effectiveness of communication. Interviewees emphasize the need to adapt tone and format while preserving accuracy, honesty, and relevance, stressing that science communication does not mean oversimplifying complexity but making it accessible. Overall, this article portrays a dynamic and heterogeneous field held together by shared principles of responsibility, care for the message, and respect for the audience.

Abstract: Plastic, due to its properties and versatility, has undeniably contributed to revolutionizing our society within a relatively short period of time. However, with equal rapidity, it has become one of the most concerning environmental issues on a global scale. Awareness-raising represents one of the tools available to help mitigate its effects on both the environment and human health. Games can be considered cognitive and communicative tools capable of facilitating the understanding of complex concepts; the integration of game mechanics with information constitutes “game-based learning”. Based on these principles, “Plastic Fighters” was developed, a game in which participants take on the role of an environmental association dealing with the challenges of plastic pollution. The aim is cooperation to achieve a sustainable balance in the management of the marinecoastal ecosystem. Plastic Fighters is freely available in a “Print & Play” version in both Italian and English.
