European Researchers' Night 2025

What microorganisms can we find in nature? How can I differentiate them? Where are they? Can I use an antibiotic against a virus? These and more questions were addressed on the 16th European Researchers' Night (26th and 27th of September 2025). As a member of the Biogeochemistry and Microbial Ecology Department at the National Museum for Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC; Madrid, Spain), we conducted a series of games and puzzles to teach kids the diversity and importance of microbial organisms in nature.

Manual de linternas

Participation on the book Manual de linternas: Incursiones, excursiones y reflexiones científicas, edited by Marta Magariños Sánchez. In this publication, I had the opportunity to write the chapter 31 (pages 185-188), where I talk and give my opinion about the book "El Error de Descartes", by Antonio Damásio.
