ORGANISE aims to bringing multi-spp connectivity and trophic interactions into MPA planning considering biotic, abiotic and human factors by:
Fostering social awareness through outreach activities, such as Somos científicos (among others to come)
Involving policy and decision makers through technical reports and personal meetings
Up to 25 schools and more than 490 students asking wonderful questions about our research and almost about any topic in science participated in this activity. Despite I was chosen as the semi-finalist in the voting by the students 🤨 😜 I still loved their questions and inquisitness about science! 🧐😍
Although it is in Spanish, this is a quick and fun summary of what a MPA-Network is, how it works, what is marine connectivity and which are its benefits. A short screenshot based on scientific evidence for the people to understand such a complex topic.
It was part of a Youtube contest for researchers organized by the Sience Communication Unit of the University of Vigo ... and, by the way, I WON! 🤩
Beacuse science does not need to be all about lab and rats, we here gathered to talk about science among peers 🗨️💬, have some drinks 🍻, and eat some delicious algae with rice 🍲
