OPENING CEREMONY: MURAL DEDICATED TO ANA RAMOS<\/p>\n

On Monday, November 8, at 12 noon, the Inauguration<\/strong> of Gandia Science Week is set to take place with the presentation of the mural dedicated to Ana Ramos<\/a><\/strong>, in the Organisms Laboratory I of the Campus, which will take on the name of the scientist from then on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the event, Ana Ramos will offer a brief talk about her scientific-professional career, there will be a visit to the laboratory and the Campus library.<\/p>\n

In the evening, at 7:30 p.m., she will initiate the daily conferences to be held at the Casa de la Marquesa de Gandia with a fuller and more complete talk about her career.<\/p>\n

The mural is the work of the urban artist Flug<\/a>, a graduate of the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia<\/a>. This is an initiative that started three years ago with the aim of giving visibility to relevant scientists and disseminators through murals and the inauguration of laboratories named after them.<\/p>\n

30 YEARS STUDYING MARINE BIODIVERSITY<\/p>\n

Ana Ramos was born in 1950 and grew up in Malaga. She studied Biological Sciences in Granada and worked at the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, in the Antarctic and the coasts of Africa. She took part in the first Spanish expedition to the frozen continent<\/strong> in 1986 and since then she coordinated a project to study the biodiversity of the seabed of West Antarctica over more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

At the same time, she worked in the management of deep-sea fisheries in Northwest Africa and, with her team, she was a pioneer in introducing the study of benthos in a systematic way in these countries<\/strong>. The idea of retiring does not cross her mind; she will continue to work at the University of Vigo and protect marine biodiversity as long as she still has the strength.<\/p>\n

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS WORKSHOPS<\/p>\n

Four workshops will be given directed by Professor V\u00edctor Garc\u00eda<\/a> and taught by students from the Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Sciences of the Campus<\/a>. These are aimed at promoting the development of environmental awareness among primary school students in Gandia<\/strong> through scientific experimentation. In compliance with the health and safety measures to safeguard against SARS-CoV-2, the workshops will be held outdoors at Campus Gandia<\/strong> from Tuesday, November 9th to Friday, November 12th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
