Teenagers attended FiraDeRecerca at Cosmocaixa in order to expand their knowledge in Science. Different groups organized some scientific activities related to their work. Our group was represented by Dr Anna Laromaine, the PhD students Amanda Muñoz, Sumithra Srinivasan, Darla Mare and the master students….

They prepared four different activities showing how we use C. elegans as a tool for the bioevaluation of nanomaterials.

They were together with Dr. Esther Dalfó, who is using C. elegans as a model for revealing the principal molecular pathways involved in Parkinson disease.

Students were suprised by how a tiny worm can help us than much in science and they made a lot of interesting questions.

On Saturday another difference audienced came to cosmocaixa: families with their children, and our members had to adapt the activities for younger kids, but they really enjoy the activity.

Four of our scientists, Anna Laromaine,  Amanda Muñoz, Nico Dix, and Darla Mare participated in the Nanoinventum 2022. They enjoyed a lot! @Nanoinventum    @NNgroupICMAB

Our scientist Irene Anton Sales talks about her experience during her studies and PhD at ICMAB working with bacterial nanocellulose, among others. You can find more info and see the video here.
