Cristina Gallego Páramo

She is a scientist that also loves art, and believes that both can benefit from each other. During her PhD in Biochemistry, she started as well to deepen her interest and skills in graphic design as a way to improve clarity and attractiveness in science communication. She believes that, if we want science to be better communicated, it should captivate our audience: be accurate, but also beautiful. Cristina joined SRUK in 2018 and has collaborated designing graphic material for some of the events of the Scottish constituency.
