Luiza Vasiliu from Romania, studied literature and became a journalist by contagion.

In 2016 she co-founded Scena9, a platform for the young generation of artists and thinkers. In the meantime, she discovered the thrill of investigative journalism. She published a series about one of the most famous Romanian doctors, who performed unauthorized experimental procedures which killed children or left them crippled. This investigation was a finalist for the European Science Writer of The Year Award. She interviewed John Oliver, Tom Hardy, Charlie Brooker et al.

She wrote about astrophysicists studying micro black holes, a teacher chastised for showing her students a movie about Verlaine and Rimbaud, a communism dissident setting Stalin's statue on fire. Her latest work concerns the Tate brothers and their human trafficking strategies and victims in Romania.
