Science Communication

"My time with Ciencia Puerto Rico was special because here I grew holistically as a scientific communicator. I dedicated myself to writing and editing journalistic articles, as well as producing and organizing content for their social media and creating monthly newsletters. But, above all, I built a community that has and will always have a place in my heart."

"Over nearly 20 years, I have prepared science popularization articles for El Nuevo Día, Diálogo de la UPR, and other newspapers in my hometown of Caguas. My radio capsules informed the public through Radio Casa Pueblo and the internet, and co-authoring the book Ciencia Boricua remains an unforgettable experience." 

"For the last 20 years, the collaboration between El Nuevo Día and CienciaPR have helped amplify science communication using language that is simple, yet accurate and culturally relevant. The more than 350 stories published to date authored by scientists from the network—along with many others in which they served as sources or provided support—stand as the clearest evidence of the collaboration’s success. Since 2020, this partnership has also enabled El Nuevo Día to become the only Spanish-language media outlet participating in the AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship, allowing young professionals—who are not journalists—to receive training in science communication "

"In addition to being the capital of music and culture, Puerto Rico is also a capital of science, and Ciencia Puerto Rico is its most effective vehicle to coordinate, learn about and support scientific talent. Its members, programs, publications and initiatives have promoted intellectual development and have opened doors for two generations of Puerto Rican scientists. Additionally, thanks to Ciencia Puerto Rico we have been able to bring success stories, fascinating research and unique content to the Jueves de Ciencia Boricua segment, which airs every Thursday on Radio Isla 1320 AM. Long live Ciencia Puerto Rico!"
