Un placer acoger otro año más a alumnos de instituto en nuestros laboratorios para acercarles a la investigación y al uso de la luz para llevar a cabo reacciones químicas #outreach
El alumnado de 2º de Bachillerato de Química visitó el Grupo de Investigación Juliá en la UMU 🧪, conociendo de cerca proyectos innovadores como la sustitución del paladio por hierro en medicamentos 💊⚙️. Ciencia real que inspira futuros científicos 🚀✨
