Meetings between scientists and science and mathematics teachers are back.

In series of 5 meetings that have been defined like an excellent opportunity to know from first hand the challenges, achievements, secrets, scopes and consequences that have for our society the work with transgenic models.  

The lectures will be performed by outstanding national scientists, whose work relates with transgenics. Among that they stand-out the 2008 Natural Science National awardwinner, Dr. Nibaldo Inestrosa, and the 2002 Applied Science and Technologies National awardwinner, Pablo Valenzuela, in addition to members of the academy and the Border Science Program.

This program's intention is producing a motivating, amusing and informative meeting between people that have science as main part of their life's, in addition, creating an encounter opportunity between teachers.

Participation in these lectures is free and are invited all science and mathematics teachers, only needs an inscription since the quotas are limited. These meetings will take place in the Chilean Science Academy's headquarter located in the 454 Almirante Montt street, next to the Bellas Artes underground station.
