Inspiring Students, Citizens, and Communities

We aim to use our research to educate and approach science to the public. We believe in the power of knowledge as a way to engage people into science, inspiring communities and helping train the next generation of biologists.

We have developed and taught courses for college Biology majors in Europe and the US, from common requirements such as Genetics and Evolution, to specific upper-level classes and graduate courses in Epigenetics, Population Genetics and Marine Genomics. Over the years, we have had the privilege of teaching thousands of students.

Our educational and outreach contributions are periodically published in different specialized media, including journals, books and web resources. Many of these have been released both in Spanish and English, facilitating access to Hispanic students and their families.

The age of technologies and communications provides us with resources to share research and knowledge with massive audiences. We want to be part of this revolution taking outreach to the next level: the instant dissemination of real time scientific advances through social networks.

We want to take science where you are. Either at your local school, at your community center, at your favorite museum… Contact us if you want to have a member of EEL presenting an informal talk or a seminar. We can adapt our contents to engage audiences ranging from kids to seniors.

In addition to peer-reviewed research papers, our work constitutes the basis for educational and outreach literature published in different languages and available for specialized and general audiences.
