The ibs.GRANADA celebrates the third week of the Month of Women and Girls in Science with activities on personal organization and animal experimentation
The Granada Institute for Biomedical Research, ibs.GRANADA, has continued during the third week of the Month of Women and Girls in Science with new activities aimed at Secondary and Baccalaureate students, bringing biomedical research to the classroom through participatory and informative proposals.
This program, which is part of the activities organized for the Month of Women and Girls in Science, aims to foster scientific vocations among new generations, promote healthy lifestyle habits, and showcase the work carried out by the institute's groups and platforms in a more accessible way.
On March 4th, the activity took place at the Caja Granada School “DiverAcción: Planning, Organization and Time Management Skills”, given by Dulce María Romero Ayuso, Lucía Ortiz, Victoria Martínez, Miguel Gea, Ronny Mendez and José Matías Triviño Juárez, group researchers TECE20-REHABILITA-Tfrom ibs.GRANADA, with the participation of students from 1th of ESO.
During the session, the students were able to learn FunActionA tool designed for teenagers aged 11 to 17, aimed at improving planning, organization, and time management in their daily lives. Through a practical and engaging approach, the activity allowed participants to reflect on the importance of these skills for personal well-being, balancing responsibilities and leisure, and taking care of their health from an early age.
In addition, the students participated in a practical workshop in which they worked on their own routines and learned simple and useful strategies to organize themselves better, plan tasks more effectively and promote healthy habits in a dynamic and participatory way.
The programming continued on March 5. and a open day and guided tour linked to Platform for Animal Models and Experimental Surgery, By Rosa Quiles Pérez and Ana María Comino Pardo, with students from High School at IES Padre Manjón.
The activity aimed to introduce students to animal experimentation in translational research, demonstrating firsthand how this work is carried out and the purpose of using laboratory animals to advance biomedical knowledge. Through the guided tour, participants were able to experience a specialized scientific environment, gain a better understanding of the processes associated with this type of research, and reflect on its contribution to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
With these actions, ibs.GRANADA continues to strengthen its commitment to science outreach and the promotion of STEM careers among young people, bringing science closer to schools and showcasing research work from an accessible, educational, and inspiring perspective. The initiative continues to highlight the role of scientists as role models for future generations and to consolidate spaces for dialogue between research, education, and society.
