Congratulations to @sofiajaraujo.bsky.social and Laia de la Torre @araujolabub.bsky.social for being selected as finalists and winning a prize at the first Simfonies de Ciencia @comunicacioaccc.bsky.social for their #Musifyingproteins #SciArt #SciComm project!
What an adventure the last 2 weeks have been! We were selected for the semi-finals and made it to the final of #simfonies_ciencia! We didn't win the final, but we won much more than that. This competition gave us the opportunity to present our project twice in front of very varied audiences (1/2)
We went to the Simfonies de Ciencia @comunicacioaccc.bsky.social final, @sofiajaraujo.bsky.social and Laia de la Torre, and we got a prize!! It was a great experience and we are very pleased and happy to have participated! Always searching for new ways to take #scienceinsociety #SciArt

Model organisms, in particular non-mammalian model organisms, such as yeast, Caenorhabditis elegans, #Drosophila and zebrafish, have long stood at the centre of biological discovery www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Reaffirming the value of model organisms in training scientific minds - Nature Cell Biology
As biomedical research prioritizes human models and translational promise, classic model organisms are increasingly dismissed. Here we argue that they have a lasting value, both in enabling discovery and in cultivating scientific thinking, by training researchers in systems reasoning, integrative thinking and independent inquiry.
