Hello!
My name is Pablo Barrecheguren and I am an expert in science communication.
My experience ranges from oral communication as a presenter of galas or scientific monologues, to the writing of science journalism articles (elPaís), the publication of popularization books, fiction novels and the development of audiovisual projects.
It should be noted that I have twice obtained national funding for the development of the neuroscience outreach projects “Neurocosas” (2017) and “Neuropíldoras” (2018), in the calls for grants for the promotion of scientific, technological and innovation culture of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology.
As training I have a PhD in Biomedicine with a thesis specializing in tumor growth and neurodevelopment, I have a master’s degree in Neurosciences and I also have formal studies on writing, narrative, etc. I have also given training in science communication on several occasions.

Japanese culture has its own term for this smell, kareishu or “old people smell,” and science has discovered that the substance 2-nonenal …
All artists sign their work, however, by the end of 1999, William Utermohlen could barely remember his signature. Born in Philadelphia (1933), William was a famous American artist living in London until his death in 2007. His oil paintings are characterized by bright colors that are difficult to forget, and yet, one of his last works is made in a sober black and white: …
Nowadays, the video game industry is one of the most important in the world, with a large part of the population consuming this type of product (e.g., 42% of the Spanish population) and generating worldwide sales of $108.9 billion in 2017. Given the magnitude of this industry, many researchers have wondered whether it would be …
