I have dedicated some of my time to working for several societies and associations dedicated to science and physics. Below you can discover some of my previous and current work (Updated February 2025).
Native Scientists
Native Scientists
Same Migrant Community Coordinator in Spain
September 2024 - Present
Responsible for organising science workshops in Spain for portuguese-speaking children. This work gives the opportunity to international scientists to speak to school pupils about their work in their native language. It also gives the opportunity to languange and science teachers to bring role models to a school setting, promoting science and celebrating multilingualism and multiculturalism.
