El Biosanitary Research Institute of Granada presents a new program of activities, workshops and guided tours to celebrate the Science Week in Andalusia with visitors of all ages between November 4 and 17.
El ibs.GRANADA participate this year with:
MICROBIOTA AND PLASTICS: DISCOVER THEIR INFLUENCE ON YOUR HEALTH
We will explore how not all microorganisms are bad, the benefits of good microorganisms for human health, their influence on our well-being, and how plastics can negatively affect our gut microbiota and, consequently, our health. In addition, we will learn the different techniques for analyzing gut microbiota and perform an experiment to observe the diversity of skin microbiota.
Date: Monday, November 4
Time: 10: 30 pm
Location: Biomedical Research Center (CIBM)
Speakers: Ana Lopez Moreno, Alicia Ruiz Rodriguez, Victoria Romero Gomez, Gracia Luque Aguilera and Pilar Ortiz Sandoval researchers of the group E15-EXPODIET: Food exposure to environmental contaminants .
Participants: Students of the CFGM of Laboratory Operations of the CES Ramón y Cajal
STRATEGIES TO AVOID BACK PAIN
Informative talk on the impact of lower back pain in the general population and its management through active strategies. This will be followed by a practical workshop that will include activities such as correcting postural hygiene, performing specific exercises and presenting recommendations to improve mobility. Finally, participants will be able to explore their movement capacity through recreational activities, encouraging a dynamic and participatory approach.
Date: Tuesday, November 5
Time: 10: 00 pm
Location: Ancha de Capuchinos Gerontological Center
Speaker: Victor Segura Jimenez, Ivan Aguilera-Garcia, Gavriella Tsiarleston and Rodrigo Pavon-Munoz. Researchers of the group TECE20-Rehabilita-T: Advances and innovation in rehabilitation and health promotion .
Participates: Users of the Ancha de Capuchinos Gerontological Center
DISCOVERING AN INVISIBLE WORLD: BACTERIA, HAND CLEANLINESS AND THE POWER OF ANTIBIOTICS
A two-day workshop will be held at the Homo Sapiens Association to show participants the fascinating microscopic world of bacteria. Homo Sapiens is a non-profit association, founded in 2008, dedicated to the design, planning, implementation and evaluation of inclusive programs, with the main objective of improving the quality of life of people with functional diversity.
The first day will begin with a short presentation of approximately 20 minutes on the importance of microorganisms to society, covering everything from their industrial use to their relevance in the health field. We will then provide culture media for students to grow with their own hands, demonstrating the importance of handwashing (or cleaning surfaces) in removing bacteria. These cultures will be incubated, and the next day we will return with the plates to observe the growth of microorganisms.
In addition, on the second day we will bring antibiograms to explain the importance of antibiotics, and preparations of microorganisms so that participants can observe them under a microscope. If the association's management agrees, we will show in a workshop some of the methods we follow in the laboratory to identify new antibiotics.
Dates: Wednesday, November 6th and Thursday, November 7th
Location: Homo Sapiens Association
Speakers: Researchers of the group MP13-Antiretroviral Resistances .
Participants: Users of the Homo Sapiens Association

RED CABBAGE: A NATURAL PH INDICATOR
In this workshop we will explore how a simple food, red cabbage, can be turned into a fascinating scientific tool to measure the pH of different substances. Red cabbage contains natural pigments called anthocyanins, which change color depending on the acidity or alkalinity level of the solutions they come into contact with. During this activity, we will learn concepts about pH and anthocyanins and experience the pH-indicating property of red cabbage with different acidic and basic solutions.
