What could the relationship be between two forms of knowledge that may seem so different – physics and literature? This will be one of the main issues that will be dealt with at the second “Dialogues on the Border” programme, which will take place on 26 September at 7pm at Bidebarrieta Library in Bilbao.

With the aim of creating a space for dialogue between the arts and sciences, the event has invited speakers like Argentinian writer Javier Argüello, Theoretical Physics professor Pilar Hernández Gamazo and physicist and writer Juan José Gómez Cadenas, who will be in charge or moderating the discussion.

Javier Argüello’s novel, “A propósito de Majorana” (Regarding Majorana), which is about the unexplained disappearance of physicist Ettore Majorana in 1938, known for his particle physics studies, will be the starting point for the second “Dialogues on the Border”. In this case, science and literature will work together to show the how they connect in many ways when offering an answer to the uncertainty and questions around us.

This event is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series, a monthly initiative organised by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues.

Participants

Pilar Hernández Gamazo is a Theoretical Physics professor at the University of Valencia and an expert on elementary particle physics.

Stress is considered to be one of the body’s mechanisms to defend itself against potential risks and threats. While research has conventionally focussed on analysing the cognitive effects of this pathology, significantly relevant studies have appeared in recent years on the way that stress can alter human behaviour and the brain region linked to social interactions.

This will be the starting point for the lecture given by Professor Dr. Carmen Sandi on 22 November at the Bizkaia Aretoa building in Bilbao. The lecture will start at 18:30 and is part of the Achucarro Forum, focussed on the brain and scientific research on pathologies that affect it.

Doctor Carmen Sandi has a distinguished career in studying stress and its effects. Her research has taken her all over the world to give lectures and she has written over 160 research articles and papers. She combines lecturing with her work as a researcher at the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland) and her recent appointment as president of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS).

Under the title “¿Cómo afecta el estrés a nuestra conducta social y sus bases cerebrales? (How does stress affect our social behaviour and its neural bases?), the expert will present what effects acute and chronic stress produce, as well as how traumatic experiences at an early age impact social and aggressive behaviour. The Doctor will also analyse different studies that are being carried out on animals in the laboratory to study neural changes that cause stress and are the bases underlying sociability and aggression.

The Achucarro Forum series of talks is organised by the ACHUCARRO Basque Center for Neuroscience, in collaboration with the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU, the Basque Government and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). The talks intend to inform the general public about emerging issues and interesting facts related to the brain in an understandable and accessible language.

The conference is free and for all audiences, however it is necessary to register in advance by sending an email to forum@achucarro.org or calling 94 601 81 35.

On 20 December 2017 the General Assembly of the United Nations declared 2019 as the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements, an event that seeks to recognise the essential role of chemistry and physics in developing solutions to the challenges the European Union is facing in terms of sustainable development.

The celebration of this International Year will also mark the 150th anniversary of the creation of the periodic table of chemical elements by Russian scientist Dmitri Ivánovich Mendeléyev. This renowned chemist, considered one of the forefathers of modern chemistry, published the first version of the popular classification of the Earth’s elements in 1869; a system that is considered one of the most relevant milestones of scientific history.

The Periodic Table of Chemical Elements will be the guiding theme of the conference “2019, International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements”, which will be held on 16 January, at 7pm, at the Bidebarrieta Library in Bilbao (Calle Bidebarrieta, 4).

Dr. Pascual Román Polo, PhD in Chemical Science by the UPV/EHU (former University of Bilbao) and Professor Emeritus of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), will be responsible for explaining the popular history of the periodic table during this session, he will delve into the profiles of the scientists who proposed the idea of developing this system and how it evolved until its final approval.

Furthermore, the evolution of the periodic table until now will be analysed, as well the relevance of this icon in the fields of science and culture in our lives and its contribution to science and technology. Last of all, this session will review some of the initiatives that are taking place in the rest of the world to celebrate this event.

This talk is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series, an initiative organised every month by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues.

Currently, the elderly population is the fastest growing people group in the world. According to the data of the UN’s “World Population Prospects” report, it is expected for people aged 60 or over to double by 2050 and triple by 2100; sky-rocketing from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion by 2050, and 3.1 billion by 2100.

In the Basque Country, the population over 65 already accounts for 22% of the overall population. In this context, an increasing amount of specific policies and actions are implemented to promote active ageing and achieve the best quality of life possible.

This is precisely one of the goals of the Ageing-On research group of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), directed by Dr. Jon Irazusta and made up by specialists with a multi-disciplinary training. More specifically, the main goal of this team is to improve the quality of life of the elderly through their participation in physical and cognitive exercise programmes that are tailored to each person’s needs.

Begoña Sanz, PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology by the UPV/EHU and Ageing-On researcher shall be responsible for presenting the group’s work to the public and will share the advantages of this type of programmes in a conference under the title “Ageing On: Fostering healthy and stimulating ageing for all people”, which will be held on 30 January, at 7pm at the Bidebarrieta Library in Bilbao (Calle Bidebarrieta, 4).

During the talk, the researcher will expound on how this type of exercise programmes have a positive impact in the physical, cognitive and psychological improvement of the participants and will analyse the fundamental role of this sort of training in healthy ageing.

Begoña Sanz, who is currently employed as an associate professor at the Department of Physiology of the UPV/EHU, is a lecturer in the Medicine Degree, the Master on Biomedical Research, and the Master on Healthy Ageing and Quality of Life at the UPV/EHU. Her research career is linked to the study of molecular biomarkers, one of the parameters addressed by the Ageing-On group.

On 12 February Bidebarrieta Library in Bilbao will be joining in the celebration of the 210th anniversary of the birth of scientist Charles Darwin, author of the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. The Chair of Scientific Culture of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Circulo Escéptico have organised another Darwin Day, which will focus on the evolution of language, and suicide and the Theory of Evolution.

The 13th Darwin Day will start at 7pm and will include talks by Itziar Laka Mugarza, professor in the Department of Linguistics and Basque Studies of the UPV/EHU, and by Pablo Malo Ocejo, psychiatrist from the Mental Health Network of Osakidetza in Bizkaia.

Itziar Laka, in her talk called “The Evolution of Language”, will analyse the scientific evidence of the origin and evolution of human language that has been gathered in recent years. It will help us to gain a better insight into the genetic and neurobiological foundations of language and the history of our species. The reasons why language has only developed in the human species will also be discussed.

Psychiatrist Pablo Malo will talk about “Suicide and the Theory of Evolution”: how suicide and other types of self-destructive behaviour are the product of natural forces and phenomena; how they are part of our own nature, even though our intuition often may tell us otherwise.

He will also discuss how the views and preconceptions that society has regarding suicide, which is historically considered to be a sin and even a crime, have been conditioned by our evolutionary history.

This meeting is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series, a monthly initiative organised by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues.

Smart materials, also known as active or multi-functional materials, are structures that are capable of changing their properties by exposure to physical or chemical stimuli such as pressure, temperature or environmental humidity.

Because of their features, these materials have a high potential for application in sectors such as transport, energy and biomedicine. Combined with advanced manufacturing techniques like additive manufacturing or new printing technologies, these materials are especially useful in areas like Industry 4.0 or the so-called Internet of Things, and they can have important social, economic and work implications, amongst others.

Physicist Senentxu Lanceros-Mendez, currently the Scientific Director of BCMaterials (Basque Center for Materials, Applications & Nanostructures), will analyse the relevance of these materials in a talk called “The Importance of Smart and Multi-functional Materials in Current Technological Development”, which will be held on 27 February, at 7pm at the Bidebarrieta Library in Bilbao (Calle Bidebarrieta, 4).

The Ikerbasque researcher will explain the most important aspects of the research carried out in the field of smart materials, as well as their applications and economic and social implications.

Senentxu Lanceros-Mendez graduated in Physics from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and gained a PhD from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (Germany). His research focuses on the development of new smart and multi-functional materials to be applied to sensors, actuators, energy and biomedicine.

This talk is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series, an initiative organised every month by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues.

It is arguably the most famous number in history. Pi, represented by Greek letter π, is one of the most important mathematical constants in history and has been studied for over 4,000 years. Such is the fascination with this number over the centuries that now it even has its own day on the calendar. Pi Day is celebrated in March all over the globe.

This international event was suggested by US physicist Larry Shaw in 1988. The way in which March 14th is written in US English and in Basque coincides with the first three digits of the number (3-14 = martxoak 14 in Basque / 3-14 = March 14th in English), and it is also Albert Einstein’s date of birth. Thus, in 2009 the US Congress officially declared March 14th as National Pi Day.

Pi Day is currently a well-known global celebration that goes beyond the realm of maths. This irrational number, defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, is used in various scientific fields like physics, engineering and geology and has amazing practical applications in our everyday life.

We will be taking part in the celebrations in 2019 with the BCAM-NAUKAS event on 13 March at the UPV/EHU Bizkaia Aretoa building. BCAM-NAUKAS will include mathematical workshops for primary and secondary students during the morning, and a series of short lectures aimed at the general public in the afternoon.

The event is an initiative from the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM), as part of its tenth anniversary celebrations, and the Chair of Scientific Culture of the University of the Basque Country.

When we talk about such different disciplines as art and science, it may be difficult to imagine that there can be a connection between them. But it is not actually that hard to discover a close and rich relationship between these two forms of knowledge. In fact, it would be impossible to fully understand human culture if we analyse these disciplines as unconnected elements.

Contemporary art and geology are clear examples of this fascinating interaction. The analysis of the relationship between both disciplines is precisely the aim of the third “Dialogues on the Border”, which will take place on 27 March at Bidebarrieta Library in Bilbao.

The talk will start at 7pm and will analyse the connection between contemporary art and geology through the works of Carlos Irijalba, one of the most international artists today. He will be interviewed by geologist Joaquín del Val, author of the blog Arte y Geología.

Carlos Irijalba is a multifaceted artist who works with various art media like photography, video and sculpture, as well as with various geological elements, like fluorite crystal drilling, for example. Irijalba’s art is a clear example of how art and science are inseparable, as the main element in many of his works is science, especially geology. The relationship between humans and their environment and the construction of reality, time, matter, dimension, scale and structure are key elements in his work

This event, which mainly aims to create a space for dialogue between art and science, is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series, a monthly initiative organised by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues.

The Speakers

Carlos Irijalba graduated in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). His works are included in public collections all over the globe and he has exhibited them in important places such as the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, Tabacalera in Madrid, Guangdong Museum of Contemporary Art in China, Centre Pompidou in Paris and the LMCC Art Center at Governors Island in New York. He has won several awards, including the 2013 Purificación García Photography Award, 2015 Shifting Foundation Grant, 2010 PhotoEspaña Best New Photographer and ART Situations award at ARCO2018.

Joaquín del Val graduated in Geology from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. After working at the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain, he joined a geology consultancy firm in Bilbao where he carried out surveys and geological-geomorphological mapping. He has taken part in the development of thematic mapping of Ecuador and he is currently working in Seville as part of the Neotectonics, Geomorphology and Paleoseismicity research group, which is studying the environment of the nuclear power station of Almaraz. He writes a blog, Arte y Geología (Art and Geology), which is about the connections between contemporary art and geology.

All of the talks are free, subject to available seating. However, attendees must request an invite at the library, from 22 to 27 March. Invitations can be collected from 10am to 2pm and from 4pm to 8pm, Monday to Friday.

Colour is something we take for granted. But, what is it? How is it formed? If nobody’s looking, will things still have colour?

To respond to these matters, we must dip into different areas of knowledge. From quantum physics to neuroscience and philosophy, all these areas have attempted to explain one of the most fascinating phenomena we have before our eyes (or perhaps behind them?). This will be the intriguing topic of the next Scientific Bidebarrieta conference by scientific writer and industrial chemist César Tomé López.

César Tomé is the editor of Cuaderno de Cultura Científica and Mapping Ignorance, two publications issued by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU. He will analyse the relevance of all of these elements in the conference “Colour and its origins”, which will be held on 10 April, at 7 pm, at the Bilbao Bidebarrieta Library.

This scientific writer, a trained industrial chemist, has spent an immense part of his professional career working in different industries related, in one way or another, to the technical and commercial use of colour, from pigment manufacturers to food companies.

Mr. Tomé López also has a master’s degree in Neuroscience and is the head of international projection at Euskampus Fundazioa.

This talk is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series, an initiative organised every month by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues.

All of the talks are free of charge and open to all, subject to seating capacity. However, in order to enter, invitations must be obtained from the library, which will be available from 5 April. Invitations can be collected from 10am to 2pm and from 4pm to 8pm, Monday to Friday.

There are works of art that fascinate some, and frighten others. There are some that go unnoticed, and there are others that provoke anger, or on the contrary, bring about good sensations or even excitement. The same goes for spaces. There are places where it’s nice to be, and there are places we feel we’re being kicked out.

The organisation of space undoubtedly affects us, and our home, our neighbourhood and our cities in some way determine the person we are today. But how does our perception respond when it comes to these spaces? What determines whether we like a work of art or a space?

The cycle of conferences – “Science and art on street level” will address this and other related issues with six experts from six different areas of expertise. Art and science will be intertwined in this cycle of conferences on 19 and 27 June, which will take place at the Bidebarrieta Library in Bilbao.

This event is part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series, a monthly initiative organised by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library with the aim of promoting and disseminating scientific knowledge.

The cycle of conferences “Science and art on street level” will be inaugurated on 19 June at 7pm with a first multidisciplinary day that will analyse the relationship between art, neurobiology and psychology, with the participation of the neurobiologist Conchi Lillo, the psychologist Patri Tezanos and the art critic Elena Vozmediano.

The second and final day of the cycle will be held on 27 June at 7pm, with the participation of the architect Santiago de Molina, the artist Christian García Bello and the structural concrete professor, Manuel F. Herrador. The three speakers will discuss how engineering and architecture influence our perception of our everyday spaces.

All the talks that will be held in the cycle will be free of charge, subject to seating capacity. However, in order to enter, invitations must be obtained from the Bidebarrieta Library between 14 and 19 June for the first conference, and between 21 and 27 June for the last one. Collection time is from 10am to 2pm and from 4pm to 7pm, Monday to Friday.

For those who are unable to attend the event, the talks will be streamed live here.

Mutations occurring in the proteins of our bodies may cause cancer and other illnesses. A group of geneticists and engineers at UPV/EHU have created special computer software capable of analysing 40,000 proteins per minute, as well as the mutations that can be generated in those proteins. The software is therefore capable of managing an enormous amount of information in very little time. This type of bioinformatic application is of growing importance for research in the fight against cancer and providing data on the disease.

Asier Fullaondo, professor of genetics at UPV/EHU, is part of the group that developed this software and he will explain its use to us in the talk entitled, “New software for analysing cancer mutations”. The talk will take place on 6 June at Azkuna Zentroa in Bilbao. It will be in Basque and is part of the Zientziateka programme.

La energía es un tema estrella en los últimos años en los medios de comunicación, ya sea por su coste, ya sea por su impacto en el medioambiente. En los últimos años se están invirtiendo muchos esfuerzos en conseguir que el aprovechamiento de la energía de las olas sea una realidad. No es un reto menor.

En Euskadi, el desarrollo de la tecnología de aprovechamiento de las olas ofrece no sólo el atractivo de la energía renovable que se puede producir localmente sino la posibilidad de que todo un sector industrial, energético y marítimo-naval, desarrolle sus capacidades y genere empleo, riqueza y bienestar.

En esta área contamos con dos iniciativas punteras a nivel mundial, proyectos que contribuyen al reto común de que parte de la solución al problema energético provenga de las olas y que muestran, además, la capacidad del tejido industrial vasco a la hora de abordar nuevos desafíos tecnológicos.

Estas iniciativas serán el eje sobre el que versará la conferencia “Nuevos retos energéticos: la energía de las olas” que ofrecerá el director técnico del Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP), Yago Torre-Enciso, el 16 de octubre a las 19:00, en el Bizkaia Aretoa de la UPV/EHU. La entrada será libre y gratuita hasta completar el aforo.

Esta conferencia se enmarca dentro de la actividad UPV/EHU en EL MAR, antesala de la Zientzia Astea, y que del 16 de octubre al 4 de noviembre inundará las salas del Bizkaia Aretoa-UPV/EHU, en Bilbao. UPV/EHU en EL MAR permitirán descubrir, de una forma muy interactiva, divertida y visual, diferentes aspectos sobre la biología marina, las consecuencias de la contaminación en la vida en el mar, las energías renovables marinas y la navegación.

La brecha de género tiene su reflejo en el ámbito científico. Tiene consecuencias en la carrera de investigación de las mujeres pero, además, conlleva la creación de contenido científico erróneo. De hecho, con el tiempo ha ocurrido que ideas y estereotipos incorrectos se hayan convertido en afirmaciones científicas.

Ejemplo de ello son algunas de las ilustraciones utilizadas en el ámbito científico. Imágenes que son muy importantes a la hora de divulgar ciencia, ya que hay que tener en cuenta que recordar información solo con datos y números es mucho más difícil que hacerlo mediante imágenes. La paleontología es un buen ejemplo.

Actualmente no tenemos muchas referencias gráficas de la época que estudia la paleontología y algunas de ellas se han confeccionado desde un punto de vista de género concreto y no son más que el reflejo de la brecha existente en la sociedad actual. Por ejemplo, sin basarse en la evidencia científica, no se ha tenido en cuenta el comportamiento humano y se han aplicado los roles sexistas actuales. Por esa razón es necesario volver a analizar los trabajos realizados hasta el momento e identificar los detalles que refuerzan la desigualdad.

Ese será el tema que desarrollará la investigadora e ilustradora científica Vega Asensio en su charla “Ilustrando la evolución humana” dentro del ciclo Zientziaren Ertzetik organizado por la Cátedra de Cultura Científica de la Universidad del País Vasco y la Biblioteca Bizenta Mogel de Durango.

La charla tendrá lugar el 15 de diciembre en la Biblioteca Bizenta Mogel a las 18:30. La entrada será libre hasta completar aforo. Además la charla se podrá seguir por streaming en el canal Kosmos de EITB.

Klima-aldaketaren ondorioak nabariak dira gaur egun. Adibidez, gizakien egunerokoan zein animalien eta landareen portaeran eragina dauka eta, horren ondorioz, hainbat izan dira azken urteetan egoera horri aurre egiteko hartu diren neurriak.

Hain zuzen ere, Unai Pascual Klima Aldaketa Ikergai (BC3) zentroko Ikerbasque ikertzaile eta Ekonomia Ekologikoan doktoreak eta bere taldeak neurri horiek aztertu dituzte Nature aldizkari entzutetsuan argitaratutako artikuluan. Lan horren ondorio nagusia da ingurumen eta garapen-arloko politikak diseinatzerakoan merkatuak lehenesten direla.

Hau da, bioaniztasunari eta klima-aldaketari aurre egiteko neurrietan desegokiak diren balioei lehentasuna ematen zaiela azpimarratzen du egindako ikerketak eta, egoera horri aurre egiteko, ikertzaileek eskatzen dute ongizatea eta garapena bezalako terminoak berdefinitzea, epe laburreko etekin eta hazkundearen logikatik urrunduz.

Pascualek artikulu horretan jorratutako ideia nagusietan sakonduko du Naturaren balioak krisi eko-sozialaren ispilu hitzaldian Bidebarrieta Zientifikoa zikloan urtarrilaren 17an, 19:00etan, Bidebarrieta Liburutegian.

Sexua eta generoa bezalako faktoreek eragin zuzena daukate emakumeei eragiten dieten gaixotasunen diagnostikoan, intzidentzian, sintomatologian eta tratamenduan. Hala ere, askotan ohiko medikuntzak kontuan hartzen ez dituen elementuak dira.

Egoera horren arrazoi nagusia ezagutza eta ebidentzia zientifikoak lortzeko bidea izan dira, izan ere, ikerketak egiteko lagina, batez ere, animalia arrak eta gizonezkoak izan dira. Horren ondorioz “bikini-medikuntza” izenarekin ezagutzen den fenomenoa ematen da. Hau da, erreprodukzioarekin lotutako gaitzetan izan ezik, gainontzeko gaixotasunen diagnostikoan eta tratamenduetan gizonezkoen parametroak aplikatzen zaizkie emakumeei. Horrek atzemandako gaixotasunetan nahasmendua sortzen du, txerto eta tratamenduen ondorioz albo kalteak ugariagoak dira eta infradiagnostikoa gertatzen da.

Horretaz guztiaz hitz egingo du Agora, ezagutzaren plaza hitzaldi zientifikoen zikloaren lehen edizioan Lucía Gallego Andrés Medikuntzan eta Kirurgian doktorea eta DNA Birkonbinatuaren Teknologiako magisterra.

Los estudios recientes relacionados con la herpetología muestran que los reptiles y los anfibios se encuentran entre los vertebrados más amenazados y que el 40% de estas especies están padeciendo un importante declive. Es una tendencia a nivel mundial. Por ejemplo, el País Vasco se encuentra entre las zonas del sur de Europa más ricas en este tipo de animales. La diversidad de climas, como el mediterráneo, el atlántico-cantábrico y el pirenaico tienen mucho que ver en esa diversidad que se traduce en casi 40 especies distintas.

A pesar de ello, la supervivencia de los anfibios y reptiles tiene una estrecha relación con el hábitat y la contaminación, la aparición de especies exóticas y el cambio climático les afectan directamente. Es por ello que, a pesar de la diversidad existente en nuestro entorno, los reptiles y anfibios están entre las especies vertebradas más amenazadas.

Ante esa situación el Departamento de Herpetología de la Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi ha trabajado para mejorar la conservación de esas especies. Para lograrlo han puesto en marcha estudios, medidas de conservación y han realizado un seguimiento de las especies, así como iniciativas divulgativas.

Ion Garin Barrio, biólogo y miembro de la Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi, hablará sobre la situación de los reptiles y anfibios en nuestro entorno en la charla “Analizando las idas y venidas de los anfibios y reptiles en Euskal Herria” en una nueva edición de Zientziaren Ertzetik. La charla, que será en euskera y está organizada por la Cátedra de Cultura Científica de la Universidad del País Vasco y la Biblioteca Bizenta Mogel de Durango, tendrá lugar el viernes 15 de marzo, a las 18:30, en la biblioteca.
