Research

I have a degree in Information Sciences, specializing in journalism, from the Complutense University of Madrid. In 2007, I began working in the press department of the CSIC, where I began my specialization in scientific communication. Since 2013, I have been the press officer at the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC) where, in addition to reporting on the research work carried out at the museum, I edit the digital magazine NaturalMente. As a member of the MNCN's Deputy Directorate of Communication and Scientific Culture, I collaborate on topics related to educational projects such as Cuéntame cómo dedicarme a la ciencia (Tell me how to pursue a career in science), exhibitions such as Excreta, una exposición (in)odora, (in)colora e (in)sípida (Excreta, an (odorless), (colorless), and (tasteless) exhibition) or Las chicas somos Guerreras... y también ingenieras (Girls are warriors... and also engineers), as well as in the dissemination and organization of events related to scientific outreach.

I am co-author, along with Fernando Valladares Ross and Adrián Escudero, of the popular science book La salud planetaria (Planetary Health), which belongs to the collection ¿Qué sabemos de? (What do we know about?) published by CSIC and Catarata.
