En marzo de 2018, junto a Boris Gómez (Periodista), Heriberto Franco (Químico), iniciamos el programa de Radio In-Genio, el cual es transmitido semanalmente por la Radio Universitaria (93.3 FM) de la Universidad Autónoma de Chiriquí (Tune In). El contenido del programa es abierto y busca fomentar la divulgación de las actividades de ciencia, tecnología e innovación desarrolladas en la UNACHI, en otras instituciones nacionales e internacionalmente.

Exhibición itinerante: Los Felinos Silvestres de Panamá
(Wildcats of Panama: a traveling exhibit)
Press here for more information.
This exhibit started as a class project of the Broader Impact Course in Spring 2011, a course developed by the PCP-PIRE grant at the Forida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH). With the financial support from the National Secretary of Science, technology and Innovation (SENACYT) and the collaboration with scientists from the Panama Mammal Society (SOMASPA) this class project became real exhibit. |
The exhibit was presented to the public for the first time on July 25th, 2012; at the Museo de Ciencias Naturales facilities located in Panama City. It includes Information about the importance and threats that wildcats faces in Panama; as well as information about conservation and research initiatives developed by Panamanian scientists.

2012 -Symposium: Advances in the knowledge of vertebrate paleontology in Panama
August 2012. Participated as a co-coordinator of this symposium, held at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) and the University of Panama facilities. The goal was to promote awareness of the recent fossil discoveries from the Panama Canal area and engaging local undergraduate students and professors in these field of research. The symposium was sponsored by the Secretaría Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de Panamá (SENACYT), the PIRE-PCP and the FLMNH. More

2012 -Workshop "Curso de Gigante": Introduction to field-based biological research
July-August 2012. Participated as a co-coordinator of this well known workshop developed by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama. Beside the already established components of ecology, physiology and behavior, a novel addition this year was the implementation of a full module in paleontology.

2011 -Workshop: Ancient and modern biodiversity of Panama
In October 2011, I organized a workshop with a strong component of paleontology, a field that is quite unknown by many Panamanians. This workshop took place at the Universidad Autonoma de Chiriqui (UNACHI) facilities and targeted undergraduate students as well as professors of Biology, Geography and Natural Resources. This workshop was sponsored by the Secretaría Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de Panamá (SENACYT), the PIRE-PCP, the FLMNH and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institution (STRI). |
Training: natural history collections and curatorial activities
In May 2011, I organized and supervised a customized training in curatorial activities for a taxidermist from the Museo de Ciencias Naturales (Panama) and a student from the Universidad de Panamá. The training took place in the facilities of the Florida Museum of Natural History.
This activity was sponsored by the Secretaría Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de Panamá (SENACYT), the FLMNH and the PIRE-PCP.
Participation: Workshop at the Reserva Forestal Fortuna (Panama)
With support of the SENACYT / PIRE-PCP, I had the opportunity in 2011 of participating in a field based workshop, the "3rd Field Course of ecology and conservation of montane and pre-montane forest in the Fortuna Reserve" organized by the Universidad Autónoma de Chiriquí (UNACHI) and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institution (STRI). It was an activity targeting undergraduate students studying biology.
