Outreach

Transmitting our knowledge to the younger generations and to the community outside academia is a duty to our society and to the progress of knowledge that we should do as scientists.

Here you can find some examples of the activities I have been doing over the years:

• “Extrasolar systems”. Training for high school teachers in Córdoba, Argentina. I performed an exhibition talk and produced audio-visual material and some experiments for the professors to teach to their students. 

• “The right to the night sky” is a university outreach project. It is a teaching and learning project about astronomy in which a group of professionals from different disciplines went to juvenile prisons to teach astronomy. “The right to see the sky” (C. Charalambous et al., 2018) is a publication about this experience in Revista Ext., an outreach magazine from Córdoba National University. A link to the website of the project can be found here.

• “Understanding the configuration of observed exoplanets”. I was an invited speaker at the 2nd edition of the Woman and Girls in Science at the University of Namur. 

• “Explorando Mundos Lejanos: Exoplanetas en el Universo y su Representación Cinematográfica”. I was invited to give a talk to the general public in the context of the XVII LARIM, the Latin American Regional IAU Meeting in Montevideo, Uruguay. 

Some nice experiences
