Outreach and Education
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.
Community Engagement
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.
Education & Outreach Publications
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.

Bringing real science close to real people is one of the most rewarding aspects of the scientific method. We strive to bring our work different communities, specially those intimately linked with the ocean.
