[aplausos] Mi nombre es Nidian Rodríguez y hoy estoy aquí para hablar de un tema que todos de alguna forma lo hemos vivido, lo hemos presenciado, hemos sido testigos a lo largo de nuestras vidas, pero que muchas veces preferimos no mirarlo. la violencia en contra de la mujer. Pero quiero invitarles a abordar esta temática desde un punto de vista diferente, desde la ciencia, la conciencia y el teatro.Vamos a ver cómo se unen estos tres conceptos. Desde la ciencia que nos provee datos, nos provee informes, no ...

¿Recuerdas [música] [música] la primera vez que escuchaste una noticia sobre el cambio climático. Yo sí. Apenas era un niño, pero las imágenes del deshielo de los polos, del humo en las ciudades y las toneladas de basura fueron suficiente para quitarme el sueño.No podía dejar de preguntarme, ¿se va a acabar el mundo. No sé ustedes, pero yo sentía miedo. Y así fue el acercamiento de muchos jóvenes al tema de cambio climático.Entre noticias y documentales surgió una sensación que hoy los psicólogos llaman eco ...

Este país es el más corrupto del mundo. Por si creen que no me escucharon bien, este es el país más corrupto del mundo. Es la frase que escucho una y otra y otra vez en cada uno de los muchos países a los que me ha llevado la vida por cuenta de mi trabajo luchando contra la corrupción.Pero a esa frase se suma otra igual de trágica, igual de catastrófica, según la cual no hay absolutamente nada que hacer. Ciudadanos de todos los países del mundo indignados por la corrupción que los afecta. Creen que están co ...

Historical Context & Scientific Progress - The presentation explores the driving forces behind scientific advancement, questioning whether it's curiosity, the pursuit of common good, or progress itself [1] - It highlights the contributions of lesser-known figures like Tycho Brahe, emphasizing that scientific progress is built upon the work of individuals, even those with flaws [9] - The presentation traces the evolution of understanding the solar system, from geocentric models to the heliocentric view championed by Copernicus and Galileo [4] Tycho Brahe's Significance - Tycho Brahe's meticulous data collection and development of precise astronomical instruments were crucial to scientific advancement [2] - Brahe's discovery of a supernova brought him fame and resources, but his personal vices and ethical dilemmas led to his relative obscurity [2] - Brahe's attempt to reconcile geocentric and heliocentric models resulted in a flawed model, hindering his legacy [2] The Interconnectedness of Scientific Discovery - Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion were derived from Tycho Brahe's data, demonstrating the importance of collaboration and building upon previous work [4][5] - Isaac Newton's laws of motion and calculus validated Kepler's laws, further solidifying the heliocentric model and revolutionizing physics [6][7][8] - The presentation draws a parallel between Tycho Brahe's data-driven approach and modern statistical inference, neural networks, and large language models (LLMs) [10][11] Ethical Considerations in Science - The presentation raises the question of whether the rigorous work of someone with questionable character can be validated [12] - It suggests that Tycho Brahe's ethical failings contributed to his being forgotten, emphasizing the importance of ethical decision-making in science [13] - The speaker posits that humanity, with its inherent flaws and virtues, is the driving force behind science, urging individuals to strive for ethical conduct to shape a better future [14][15]

Scientific Research & Exploration - The field of geomicrobiology studies microorganisms in extreme environments to address societal challenges like climate change, desertification, and ecosystem recovery [3] - Microorganisms in Antarctica, including fungi, bacteria, and archaea, transform the ecosystem by mitigating greenhouse gases like methane and sequestering carbon [5] - Exploration is inherent and driven by curiosity, emphasizing the importance of studying the small and often overlooked aspects of the world [8][9] Women in Science - Historically, women have been silenced and prevented from expressing their ideas, but a new generation of women is freely pursuing knowledge and creating a feminism of creation [6][7] - The speaker emphasizes the importance of women being able to sign their ideas and hopes that future generations of girls will be able to do the same [7][13] The Power of Imagination & Science - Science and reading are interconnected, changing perspectives and enabling the creation of meaning [4] - Imagination is crucial in scientific exploration, providing tools for understanding the world and driving discovery [5][12] - The speaker's sense of wonder when observing microorganisms under a microscope motivates her research and the constant re-evaluation that is essential to science [10][11]

Research Focus - The talk emphasizes the value of science, curiosity, and Latin America's potential contribution to space exploration from its unique perspective [1] - It highlights the possibility of studying the universe from extreme locations like Antarctica [1] Key Individuals - Julián Rodríguez, a Colombian astronomer, shares his experiences and insights [1] - Rodríguez's academic background includes electronic engineering from Universidad Industrial de Santander, postgraduate studies at the Observatoire de Paris and Université Paris-Saclay, and a postdoctoral degree [1] Scientific Endeavors - Rodríguez returned to Bucaramanga to teach at UIS, continuing his scientific research and inspiring new generations in space sciences [1] - He has been working on the development of radio astronomy in Colombia at UIS, leading numerous expeditions of the Colombian Antarctic Program [1]

Science & Research Landscape - The field of health sciences has experienced a 15% increase in enrollment in recent years [10] - A significant portion, 72%, of postdoctoral contracts in Spain are temporary, and only 8% of doctoral graduates secure employment in the public sector [15] - Due to the scientific diaspora, Spain has lost 10% of its researchers in the last two years [20] - The investment to train each doctor who leaves the country represents a loss of over €100,000 of public funds [21] Challenges in Scientific Career Paths - Scientific researchers may spend 15 years in education, including 4 years for a degree, 2 for a master's, 4 for a doctorate, and 5 for a postdoc [13] - Postdoctoral researchers in countries like Germany or France may earn between €40,000 to €60,000 annually, which is more than double the amount in Spain [16] - The public hiring processes can take months to over a year, leaving scientists without income [17] Motivation & Impact of Scientific Research - 65% of STEM students engage in social or volunteer activities [9] - COVID vaccines helped prevent over 198 million (19,800,000) deaths in just one year [26]

Core Argument - Science should be viewed as an act of rebellion, challenging conventional thinking and uniting technique with intuition, academia with politics, and data with common sense [1] - The talk advocates for a shift in the role of science, from being neutral to becoming a key driver of social transformations, addressing challenges like climate change, productivity, and democracy [1] Key Themes - The discussion covers the importance of science in addressing contemporary challenges, including the pandemic and the future of public-private collaboration [1] - The talk encourages scientists, entrepreneurs, and leaders to embrace a more proactive and transformative approach to their work [1] Speaker's Background - Andrés Couve is a neuroscientist and former Minister of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation in Chile (2018–2022) [1] - Couve has led over 20 research projects, supervised over 25 graduate students, and published more than 50 articles in international journals [1]
