Our Ph.D. student Amanda Muñoz-Juan visited Concha Andreu, President of La Rioja, at Palacete del Gobierno de La Rioja.

Amanda, from Fuenmayor (La Rioja), had a meeting with the President of La Rioja, Concha Andreu, to talk about the research she is doing in our group, using C. elegans as an animal model for the evaluation of nanomaterials and the stay she did in Houston at Samuel’s lab.

During this meeting, they conversed about the scientific centers and activities that are performed in the community. Emilia Fernández, General Director of Equality of La Rioja, was also in this short meeting which highlighted the importance of achieving equality in our society, in all fields.

Amanda expressed it was a great experience for her and she was happy to have this opportunity. You can read more about this event (in Spanish) in the local digital newspaper Rioja2.
