Talking about and spreading science has always been a passion for Ramalho Lab, but our daily lives have shown that being engaged in these activities is crucial for a scientist.
Dr. Manu Ramalho is a woman/parent in science, and a myrmecologist who uses ants as a way to engage people with science, and also her lab. Diverse audiences and of all ages have some curiosity about these small insects that occur all over the world in the most diverse colors and shapes. We just need to be creative in how to attract this audience!
Highlighted below are several projects that we had the opportunity to be part of.
Hormigas Neotropicales group made a really cool video sharing my story and interests to advertise the lecture I gave in March 2022! Check out how cool it turned out!
