The UAB to participate in the 7th season of "Universo sostenible"
The popular science series "Universo sostenible", coproduced by Crue Universitats, forms part of the programme La aventura del saber. Three UAB researchers will be taking part in this 7th season in episodes dedicated to microbiota, regions and spaces considered "green lungs" and complex medicine.
The new season includes nine episodes and is being aired since 3 April. As in previous editions, in this season different people from the university scientific community explain in a simple way the keys to advances in research projects related to technological progress that will have a major impact in the near future.
The seventh season includes the participation of three UAB researchers: Albert Bach, researcher from the Department of Animal Biology, Plant Biology, and Ecology, and CREAF, who will participate in the episode "Pulmón verde", Natalia Sanchez de Groot, researcher from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, who will appear in the episode "Microbiota: eje intestino-cerebro", and Joan Carles Galcerán, from the Department of Medicine, in the episode on complex medicine.
Other topics in this new season include persistent covid, 3D printing, wood as a sustainable material, leather, the restoration of degrades ecosystems and solutions based on nature, and space garbage.
The programme La aventura del saber seeks to deepen the transmission to citizens of a rigorous knowledge of reality so that they can be more critical and responsible of their decisions. Moreover, this transmedia project will also allow to discover the reaction of citizens to the scientific projects presented.
