Pokemon Evolution Webinar
about the Pokemon evolution webinar that was given in 2020
Years ago I gave a webinar called “Conceptos básicos en evolución Pokemon”. This might have been the biggest event I have ever done in science communication, and I’m forever grateful with the Sociedad Peruana de Astrobiología del Perú for allowing this idea to see the light. I still have no idea how we managed it, but it has been an incredible journey that culminated with people asking to read scientific literature. Basically, true science communication happened. This is the whole webinar (in spanish):
