This year, Science Week has activities aimed at various audiences: adults, families and schoolchildren.
The first of the organized activities, the most scientific Marimurtra -Saturday November 16-, had a presentation by the archaeologist, naturalist and explorer Jordi Serrallonga, who commented on the importance of Charles Darwin’s research to understand evolution of plant species. Thanks to its interest in botany, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden can apply its research, as Serrallonga explains in the following video:
Another presentation that was offered on Saturday was that of Marimurtra’s head of scientific dissemination, Anna Sans, who spoke about the concept of ‘Plant awareness’. University of Girona students Alba Bachs and Stephanie Carreras presented their research work with plant extracts that they did this summer in Marimurtra as university internships.
After the presentations, the new Charles Darwin poster that will be installed in the Garden was presented.
The entire act can be seen in the following link.
The activities continued on Sunday with ‘Family Botany’ and the guided tour ‘The Biodiversity of Marimurtra’.
During Science Week a team of technicians from Marimurtra visited several schools to offer the workshop ‘The secret of seeds’.
