The example of a beet.
For many, little more than a vegetable.
But for the renowned researcher José Manuel López Nicolás, a universe that goes from the food industry, which uses it to sell low quality tuna, to the first division teams, which use it to make their players run faster.
The literary forum entitled 'A scientist in the supermarket' has opened the II Conference of Scientific Dissemination of Cieza.
The subtitle condenses the essence of the conference: 'A journey through the science of small things ".
Continuing with the casual style and the funny tone that have made him one of the referents of the dissemination, the Vice Chancellor of Transfer and Scientific Dissemination of the University of Murcia on Monday made a trip through the science of everyday life, discovering the public the hidden mathematics of a cante jondo, the physics present in a memorable game of tennis, the surprising statistics of the Children's Lottery or the chemistry that is hidden behind the labels of a supermarket.
In his speech, held at the Arte-Sano gastrobar, López tried to clarify what are the truths and lies that people encounter every day.
This has been the start of the second edition of the Scientific Dissemination Conference of Cieza, which have been designed by the University of Murcia and the City Council in order to popularize science.
In the next few days, and until the 8th February, speakers, professors and researchers will speak in different places in the city of their commitment to help society become aware of the importance of science.
The conference will be transferred on Wednesday, at 6:00 p.m., to the Father Salmerón Municipal Library where the professor of Evolutionary and Educational Psychology, Cecilia Ruiz Esteban, will give the conference 'Bullying and cyberbullying: emotional impact on children'.
For February 6, the film forum will take center stage with the screening of 'Before it is late', which will give rise to a later colloquium, at 6:00 p.m., in El Patio de Nicolás restaurant.
The activity will be conducted by María José Martínez Sánchez and Antonio Soler Valcárcel, Professor of Edaphology and Agricultural Chemistry and president of Nueva Cultura por el Clima, respectively.
The Siyâsa Museum will host on Friday, at 7:00 p.m., the documentary entitled 'Memories of Migration in Cieza' in a presentation that will be provided by the Sociology professors of the University of Murcia, María Elena Gadea Montesinos and Marta Latorre Catalán, and the retired professor of Labor Law and Social Security, the celestial José Marín Marín.
