I’m a postdoc in neuroscience from Switzerland. I’m fascinated with how brains enable animals to strategize and make informed decisions. Pint of Science is an amazing way to build bridges between researchers and lay audiences and between international scientists and local communities.

I am a Mexican postdoc studying the genetics of endangered species. I study how evolution shapes small populations and how to use this knowledge to help them. Pint of Science is an opportunity to share our science to the broader public, which is not only essential, but fun, and part of our duty.
