The Foundation is thrilled to announce the release of the full interview with Simone Cutajar. A short excerpt from this interview was previously featured in the educational video “Unique Insect: The Maltese Honey Bee” which the Foundation unveiled a few months ago. Simone Cutajar is engaged in multiple conservation projects focused on Malta’s unique environment. Serving also as Malta’s Citizen Science Ambassador for the European Citizen Science Association, she actively bridges public engagement with science. As part of her joint PhD degree between the University of Malta and the University of Bologna, she is conducting groundbreaking work focusing on microorganisms in Maltese honey bee stomachs. Simone’s contributions have earned her numerous accolades, including the Creative Initiative Award and the National Best STEM Community Project Award. The work carried out by Simone is part of project PAM (Pathogens and the Apis mellifera ruttneri Microbiome) financed by the IPAS+ – Option C – PRIMA Training and Mobility Award 2023 of the Malta Council for Science and Technology. Simone’s PhD is financed through the Tertiary Education Scholarships Scheme at the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation.
