the Faculty of Experimental Sciences He lived on Wednesday, November 15, his big day Patron Saint Albert. The day started early in the morning with… Twelfth Research Symposium on Experimental Sciences, Intended for young researchers and will be distributed 11 awards for the best paintings and a sports day.
The main activity took place in the lecture hall of the University of Almería where certificates were awarded to the best records for the academic year 2019-2022. Thus, the degree diploma in biotechnology was obtained Irene GarciaThe award was received by his mother Nuria Ortega. This recognition for his environmental science degree went to Jorge Villegas, whose father earned his degree Francisco Villegas. In the mathematics degree, the person who received the award was Alvaro OteroAnd in chemistry degree, Adrian Rosa.
The Best Final Grade Project in Mathematics degree award was also awarded by the Royal Mathematical Society to Christina MartinWho could not attend because he is his brother Francisco Manuel Martin The person responsible for obtaining the diploma.

After the awards ceremony, the San Alberto 2023 conference was held clara grima, Mathematician, professor at the University of Seville and well-known science communicator, has a program on RTVE. Clara Grima gave the presentation “I believe you and I do not see you,” which is “an apology for managing uncertainty,” as she put it.
“I will remove the image that mathematics is precise, and give as an example some mathematical applications that we use a lot in our daily lives, which are not precise and uncertain, because they are based on probability and work to improve the world. “One of the most widely used is in diagnosing diseases.”
Clara Grima also spoke about the importance of scientific publishing. “As is the case in the country, what we desperately need is critical thinking and, above all, scientific thinking. I believe that the important thing in spreading science is not why, but how it is done (rigorously, analytically, contrastively…) because we need it.” More than ever before. A society having more scientific knowledge, and in general being more educated (reading more and having more reading comprehension) will make it more critical and free. From a mathematical standpoint, it is clear how easy it would be to manipulate people through information, and if a society were more scientifically trained Culturally, we will be less susceptible to manipulation.
Moreover, he explained, the dissemination of information is important because science in Spain is done with public funds “and it is necessary for society to be an ally of scientists, to know that they are working to improve their lives, and therefore, when they go into science.” Go vote, read the programs and see how much is allocated to science. It is not necessary for everyone to be a scientist, but everyone must understand the importance of science because we all vote, and some people can reach important positions in management and this is something that must be taken into consideration.
Finally, Clara Grima referred to the role of the scientific publisher. “It is true that academic publishing is starting to become profitable and that university administrations are increasingly realizing that they have to transmit the science they do to society.” But he stresses that it is still not possible to earn a living from scientific publishing, and therefore he asks young people who want to devote themselves to this world to “first secure their places with researchers and professors in universities.”
