Outreach:

I consider that scientific outreach is one of the means that permeate society to enrich culture, critical thinking, and evidence-based policies. I have had the opportunity to participate in open outreach events such as the “Festival de la Química” organized by the American Chemical Society in conjunction with the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Concepción,” or in ‘Lanzamiento del Festival de las Ciencias FECI 2022’ organized by the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation of Chile, where I conducted outreach activities and promotion of the IMPACT center. These instances are relevant for society to value scientific research, and the experience gained in this area would allow me to disseminate the impact that the research results could have on public health in the future. In addition, it would allow me to continue learning how people perceive scientific work in order to improve my communication skills as a researcher.
