Science is another passion of mine. I believe in the progress through knowledge, experiment and inquisitiveness. That’s why I often visit museums, galleries, libraries, or any other place where I can challenge myself and explore new horizons. My curiosity always leads me to interesting place and people. @smithsonian institute is one of the places I’ve always wanted to visit. 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️😉 Ancora Imparo #learning #ancoraimparo #science #humanities #historyphd #history #phd #copywrite #writer #smithsonianmuseum #smithsoniangardens #smithsoniancastle #washington #states #usa #dc #capital #sciencecenter #scienceteacher #sciencecommunication #scienceeducation #university #blogger #travelblogger #writing #exploring #america #gardens #experiment #historian #historiansofinstagram #phdstudentsofinstagram (at Smithsonian Institution Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1COgz0jK3L/?igshid=162528lwz35sr
