Awakening Vocations in STEM

Children’s drawings of the World of Work often reveal significant gender stereotyping (Ref1, Ref2) .

The spark of life

Looking back, I still remember a famous series of cartoons called “Once upon a time: Life “. There, they tried to explain to kids (but not only) in a very simple way, the mechanisms that regulate the good functioning of the organism. One of those episodes talked about how our brain is able to send The spark of life

Fighting back: new study reveals unprecedented details of plant-pathogen co-evolution

The co-evolution of plant – pathogen interactions has been revealed in unprecedented detail in a study of one of the world’s deadliest crop killers. This is the rice blast pathogen, which destroys enough food to feed more than 60 million people every year – almost the population of the UK. Plants, like animals, have an Fighting back: new study reveals unprecedented details of plant-pathogen co-evolution

Everybody ages

It is Life´s law. But, why do we age? What is ageing? Aging is a heterogeneous, complex and multifactorial process, not everyone ages in the same way or at the same speed; some people age faster than others.

Do you know where your DNA is? “I think I have lost it”…

This is the answer I got in a science festival after asking an 8-year-old kid if he knew where his DNA was. By the end of the activity, he learned that we are made of Lego-like pieces called cells where the DNA is kept, so you can’t lose it! He left with a smile from Do you know where your DNA is? “I think I have lost it”…
