Natalia Carrasco explains that the main goal of Science Temporary is for everyone to know, learn and reside in the Chiloe Archipelago.

Learn about the remote and unknown forests of the small islands of the Chiloe Archipelago, understand the harm that irresponsible pet ownership causes to the local fauna, learn about the use of plants in traditional basket making with the case of Quilineja and learn about the various toxins found in the Chiloe Sea, are the topics that will be presented in The seventh edition of the Chiloe Science Timer, talks science on the natural ecosystems of Chiloe and southern Chile.

Every Wednesday in July, 7:00 p.m., via Facebook Live /Temporalesdecienciadechiloé, those who communicate will be able to learn from exhibitors and interesting topics. Temporales is organized by the Institute of Forestry (INFOR), a body attached to the Ministry of Agriculture, sponsored by the Castro Municipal Library, Castro Municipality, Explora Los Lagos, Trasfoco, Austral University of Chile, Puerto Montt headquarters and CienciaenChile Support.

This is almost the second edition of the Chiloé Science Temporary being carried out, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. INFOR Research Associate and Initiative Coordinator, Natalia Carrasco Farias, commented on the importance of bringing science together with aspects of the indigenous forest in the south of the country and invited her to participate in each talk, but also to visit the social networks of Temporales de Ciencia de Chiloé, since every Monday and Friday in July, they will be able to watch scientific audiovisual capsules co-produced with Explora Los Lagos and Trasfoco. “Thus, science is not just something that stays in a scientific article, but something that can be seen, heard, understood and shared,” said the INFOR researcher.

“This is why we maintain our flag streak with regional relevance. The invitation is not only for those of us who live in this sector of Chile, but for all those interested in the South, to join us on this journey of the latest research being done here, and to shape their views with source information The first., based on the data, is something that is increasingly important in the times when fake news reaches us everywhere.”
