11 am to 2 pm

Can you imagine what DNA looks like? Do you know the symbiosis and why is it so important for diversity? Do you know how the body defends pathogens? Do you know how cells are arranged within the body to give rise to all the diversity of organisms on the planet? Do you have any idea how environmental awareness was put into effect?
In this workshop we will ask great female scientists in history about these questions and they will guide us along the path they followed to try to answer them with fun experiments and games in our laboratory.

Run by Celia Santos Tapia and Elena Velado Alonso
