Tommaso Baldi

Biologist, nutritionist, and kinesiologist, Tommaso Baldi hails from Rome but now works in research at the University of Pisa. A lifelong nerd with a passion for TTRPGs, video games, and imaginary worlds, he combines science and storytelling on his Instagram channel Apotecario_Slapchop, where he shares educational content on biology and speculative fantasy biology.
Whether exploring alien ecosystems, impossible anatomies, or bizarre evolutionary theories, Tommaso presents biology with scientific accuracy and humor—revealing the science (or pseudoscience!) behind beloved fantasy universes like Warhammer 40K.

He likes to reveal the science that is (or could be!) behind the universes we love, like Warhammer 40K, but not only: he explores alien ecosystems, impossible anatomies and improbable evolutionary theories... with a rigorous but fun approach. His goal is to make people discover how fascinating biology can be, even when it comes to xenos, tyranids or creatures from distant worlds!
