Polar seas, sexuality, and mathematics, stars of the 'Marcientífica' series in Marbella

The 'Marcientífica' outreach series continues this week with four new events. The first took place on the afternoon of this Monday, the 24th, at the Royal Hospital of Mercy, featuring a session dedicated to the exploration of polar seas.

The second meeting will be tomorrow, Tuesday the 25th at 19.00 hours at the Royal Hospital of Mercy, featuring a talk in which psychologist Laura Morán will address sexuality from the perspectives of biology, psychology, and humor. As a staunch advocate for education and prevention, she organizes workshops for various audiences and has participated in outreach events such as 'Naukas', 'Las que cuentan', and 'Desgranando ciencia'. She has also collaborated on radio and television programs like 'Gente Despierta', 'Boulevard', and 'Órbita Laika'.

Mathematics with a Renowned Popularizer

On Wednesday, November 26th, at 12:00 hours, an event coordinated with educational centers will take place at the City Theater of Marbella to enjoy mathematics with popularizer Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón, who will also feature in a meeting for the general public at 19.00 hours at the Royal Hospital of Mercy. With degrees in Theology and a PhD in Mathematics, his research focuses on the area of computational algebra.

In parallel to his academic career, he has carried out extensive and varied work in science communication and is the presenter of the TVE program 'Órbita Laika', in addition to running a YouTube channel 'Derivando', which has more than a million subscribers. His work has been recognized with multiple awards, among which the recently obtained CSIC-Fundación BBVA stands out.
