Angelo Fasce is a philosopher whose research focuses on the intersection of risk perception, scientific skepticism and health behavior. In recent years, he has worked at the University of Coimbra and the Observatoire Régional de la Santé (France), among others. As part of the EU-funded JITSUVAX project, which has hubs throughout Europe, he developed practical tools for communicating with vaccine-sceptical patients - including training programs for healthcare professionals. "One of these hubs was the IPB under the direction of Prof. Dr. Cornelia Betsch. That's how I first came into contact with the University of Erfurt. I worked with Philipp Schmid (postdoc at the time) and Frederike Taubert (PhD student), which was a great experience on both a personal and professional level. I got to know the University of Erfurt as an excellent institution. The fact that I can now work here myself is a wonderful coincidence," says Dr. Angelo Fasce.
