FameLab
I had the honor of winning FameLab Portugal 2014 and representing Portugal in the international Famelab competition, in the Cheltenham Science Festival (June 2014). On the left is the video of the national final; you can also see here the video of the international semi-final from the point I enter the stage. I was also jury of FameLab Portugal 2015 and FameLab Portugal 2018 (regional heat). I was interviewed concerning FameLab Portugal 2018, available here. |
Science communication with families
Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation invited me and other Fameab colleagues to be part of two science communication events aimed at families, with particular focus on children: "Discover Day" (on October 9, 2016) and "Frutology Weekend" (on May 27-28, 2017).
These consisted of 30 min sessions, repeated several times over the day, in which we performed science stories according to the theme of each event.

ClimAdaPT.Local - Municipal Strategies for Adaptation to Climate Change
From November 2015 to February 2016 I have worked on the project ClimAdaPT.Local, in the communication with the public and the media. I have supported the Coordination of the project in the preparation of presentations for national and international conferences, collaborated in the update of the website and writing of press releases, and helped to establish contacts with the media.

Do you know? - Scientific section in a portuguese newspaper
Why do we like sugar? What are stem cells? Touching a plant affects its growth?
"Saberás tu" is the result of a partnership between Ciência Viva and the portuguese newspaper "jornal i", in which portuguese researchers answer (apparently) simple questions with brief and simple texts. The answers are also published here (portuguese only).
