We are deeply saddened by the sudden and unexpected departure of Marco Pivato, journalist, essayist and science writer, who passed away on March 23rd at the young age of 42. Marco was an expert in science communication and ethics, and has collaborated for several years with the FISV (Italian Federation of Life Sciences) as our communication manager. We thus had the opportunity and the privilege to appreciate his competence, skills, passion for science and deep humanity, for which he leaves a really huge void in the Italian scientific world. We join in the remembrance of him with the many colleagues who have had the luck to meet him and extend our deepest condolences to the family.
