Sharing Astronomy

Bridging the gap between professional research and society

Communicating science is a fundamental responsibility of the modern researcher. My outreach philosophy focuses on humanizing the scientific process, explaining not just the discoveries, but the uncertainties, the failures, and the personal stories behind every data point.

Podcast: "Antes todo esto era plasma"

Since 2025, I have been an active member of the AstroLab initiative, a science communication platform dedicated to bringing contemporary astrophysics closer to a broad audience. In this podcast we explore the frontiers of modern astronomy, addressing topics that range from the physics of the rarest and most extreme stellar objects to the latest developments in observational and theoretical research. A central component of this work involves translating complex scientific concepts into accessible yet rigorous narratives, with particular attention to clarity, accuracy, and engagement. In parallel, we place strong emphasis on combating scientific misinformation, critically examining widespread misconceptions in astronomy and promoting evidence-based understanding.

Teide Observatory Open Days

Participating in the Open Days as a member of the IAC Divulgation Team, I have contributed to large-scale public outreach events aimed at providing direct access to astronomical research facilities and methodologies. My role focuses on guiding visitors through live demonstrations of observational techniques, including the operation of telescopes and the fundamentals of data acquisition, with an emphasis on how astronomical observations are conducted in practice. During these sessions, I engage with a broad and heterogeneous audience, explaining the observational process in a clear and structured manner while adapting the level of detail to different backgrounds. This includes illustrating how site conditions in the Canary Islands enable high-precision observations and why such environments are critical for advancing modern astrophysics.
