Through different approaches (webinars, YouTube videos, columns in a magazine for children and other kinds of events), I communicate to people and children some concepts linked to environmental pollution (and the way science is solving such issues) and women in STEM.
Plastic and microplastic pollution
Il diario di Pelucco (Pelucco’s diary) by Paolo Oliani & Erika Iveth Cedillo-González
A column published in "Lo Spunk", an Italian children's magazine, from June 2021 to March 2022. Pelucco, a microplastic polyester fibre, teaches children the introduction of microplastics into the ocean, describing how these tiny plastic particles can travel through pipes and rivers and reach the sea.
Animated videos for teaching plastic and microplastic pollution
My research team and I produced some animated videos to illustrate the environmental impact of plastic and plastic pollution to the Spanish-speaking community. Funding for animation was provided by CONACYT's project APN-2017:5167 (Mexico), where I was PI.

Fieldwork videos
These videos illustrate how a manta net for sampling microplastics present in surface water works and some scenes of fieldwork sampling microplastics in the sand.

Webinars regarding plastic pollution
During CONACYT’s project APN-2017:5167 (Mexico), I organized several webinars focused on several aspects of plastic pollution.

Women in STEM
I co-authored a column called "STEM Girls", published in "Lo Spunk", an Italian children's magazine, from April 2022 to July 2022. The column aimed to illustrate to Italian female children four role models currently performing research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines.
