Select publications: Building the New Man. Eugenics, Racial Science and Genetics in Twentieth-Century Italy (Central European University Press, 2011); “The Italian Communist Party and the ‘Lysenko affair’” (Journal of the History of Biology, 2012); L’Italia intelligente.

Gausemeier, S. Müller-Wille, E. Ramsden (eds.), Human Heredity in the Twentieth Century, Pickering & Chatto, London- Brookfield 2013. On Primo Levi, I recently published Science Fiction?
