Luca Bellagamba is a biologist, science communicator, and well-known professional disturber of urban legends. On social media, he debunks theories about legendary figures such as mermaids, dragons, aliens, dinosaurs hidden in pipes, and any other creatures whose existence is described online with “overwhelming evidence”. He has over 600,000 followers and is much loved thanks to his direct and ironic language. Monster Science for Curious Skeptics is his first book: an ambitious project, a journey into the creatures that have filled centuries with stories… and no museum display cases.
