Anna Laromaine was the guest of “Màtrix”, a programme about technology at Catalan Ràdio Olot. Anna talked about her scientific career path, her daily life as a researcher and how to stimulate scientific vocations among young people. You can listen to the whole interview here.
Today, 8th March 2021, Radio Capital broadcasted an interview to the N&N researcher Irene Anton within the program “Biotecnología Capital”.
Our recent work about bacterial nanocellulose and stem cells, published in Small, has been featured as a press release in the ICMAB and CSIC webpages. The post explains in a comprehensive way the results of this study through an interview with Irene Anton. Enjoy the read!
A huge number of activities were organized this year to celebrate Women in Science Day, which is the 11th of February. This year it was the fifth anniversary of the 11F initiative, and four of our group members went virtually to different schools to talk about how they became scientists and to show them important women scientist figures.
The PhD fellow Irene Anton from the NN group participated in the TechTransferStories launched by the Technology Transfer unit of ICMAB. In this 20 minute-interview, Irene explains her personal experience researching in collaboration with the private sector to find medical applications for the biopolymer bacterial nanocellulose. Do not miss it!
Face masks are still one of the key factors helping us face the current COVID-19 pandemic, and have been part of the conversation since the first responses to the virus started to appear. The other key factor is physical distancing. Jan Grzelak, a PhD student in N&N Group, has presented an Online ICMAB Seminar on the current knowledge we have on the materials used to create masks and their reusability.
You can watch the recording of the seminar here.
If you missed the live version of the talk about how is the life of a nano-bio-researcher by Irene Anton-Sales, you can still watch it on youtube! Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
The science outreach activities of the NN group keep moving on! Next Wednesday 3rd of June at 12.00h you can spend a “virtual day” with the PhD fellow Irene Anton-Sales.
The CORNEAL-BC project explores the possibilities of bacterial nanocellulose to treat corneal wounds in close collaboration with ophthalmologists. We are very happy to see this project featured on the CSIC R+D newsletter! Read the article (Spanish) here and learn more about it!
On January 29, Anna Laromaine and Amanda Muñoz attended the Second BAR Meeting about C. elegans. Barcelona-based community of experts on the small worm met in the Bocconcino bar to talk about their research and experience in an informal setting.
