Description:

Through virtual reality glasses, one can learn about three protected and endangered plant species of the natural park of Cap de Creus: the herbaceous plant Sèseli del cap de Creus (Seseli farrenyi), endemic to this natural park, the spurge olive (Cneorum tricoccon) endemic to the Mediterranean basin, and blue bindweed (Convolvulus siculus), in a vulnerable situation in Catalonia.

This event is the final phase of a teaching innovation project coordinated by Sandra Saura Mas, lecturer of ecology at the Faculty of Biosciences and CREAF researcher. The project is funded by the Coordination of Training and Teaching Innovation of the Institute of Education Studies and the Training Unit of the UAB. This project has succeeded in creating three 3D models of endemic and endangered plants of the Mediterranean basin, in order to make them freely available to students to work on during subjects dealing with the relationship between humans and nature. This has been possible thanks to the collaboration with the OpenLabs of the UAB, specifically the Digital Lab.

The Virtual Biodiversity project makes it possible to find 3D models of threatened plant species free of charge on the internet. With the result of this project, more traditional formats such as 2D herbariums or collections of living organisms, normally exclusive and located in inaccessible places that sometimes imply the death of the collected plants, have been renewed. New supports and media have been created that are more attractive, closer and more effective for learning and totally respectful with the life of other living organisms.

Description:

Daniel Campos and Xavier Álvarez hold PhDs in Physics and their research focuses on the physics of biological and social systems and the transport of energy. In the Expert's Seat of the UAB Science Carriage, the two will converse with passengers on energetic transition, a change from non-renewable energy sources to a model in which the energy used is more sustainable, and how citizens play an important role in this process. 

The journey will begin at 9:28 a.m. on the FGC train travelling from Plaça Catalunya to the Universitat Autònoma train station.
