Outreach

I love communicating science and talking to diverse audiences and in different languages about my path to become a scientist (my science journey but also my journey as a woman, latinx and immigrant in different countries, cultures and languages). I have approached this from a variety of platforms including creating videos, participating in scicomm initiatives via video, print and podcasts and my favorite by talking to children about science!

Los datos que demuestran lo infrarrepresentadas que están las colombianas en la ciencia

Our paper on women in science in Colombia got a lot of media attention in the country which hopefully will lead to a bigger conversation at the government and institutional levels.

En Colombia persisten las desigualdades de género en la investigación científica
