ALC volunteers at family fairs fuel kids curiosity

Dear supporters,

We are really happy to contact you to celebrate our amazing volunteer team which complements your beneficent help.

We want to dedicate this fifth report to share with you the fantastic job of Apadrina la Ciencia volunteers. Their generous participation in many outreach activities that have been organized with your economic support make this project possible. We want to express our gratitude to you all for your donations, and to our scientific supporters for their time and motivation. Your complementary efforts are greatly appreciated!

Since September 2020, the scientists and volunteers from our non-profit association Sponsor Science (Apadrina la Ciencia; www.apadrinalaciencia.org) have worked very hard to share with the society their research and knowledge about COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes it. For quite some time, pandemics halted our participation in experimental outreach activities aimed to increase public knowledge about virus characteristics and facts, as well as about effective, and not fake, measures to prevent virus dissemination. Fortunately, we are back on track! We have counted on the kindness and communication abilities of expert and experienced virologists like Patricia, Cristian or Puri, who updated kids interest on the latest news about SARS-CoV-2. We have also counted on the enthusiastic participation of numerous younger researchers who connected very well with kids´ interests and curiosity. Younger researchers benefited from this wonderful outreach opportunity as it completed their scientific training with essential complementary abilities, like communication techniques for the non-specialized public.

Widening kids and teens interest on science and proved facts will undoubtedly lead, in the future, to more informed citizens who will be more protected from dangerous fake news and manipulation and who will be able to take informed and therefore better decisions.

Thank you for your great support to our cause! We’ll keep you posted!

Have a great summer!!!
