Frogs, Myths, Science & Coffee with Carlos Guarnizo

What if science felt as natural as having a drink with friends? 🍺🔬

Meet Carlos Guarnizo, a Colombian scientist who turned science communication into a movement. He created Ciencia Café Pa Sumerce , and what he's built is unlike anything in the science world.

Here's what makes him someone every science communicator needs to hear:

🇨🇴 From Bogotá to the world: Carlos proves that groundbreaking ideas in science outreach come from unexpected places, not just Silicon Valley or MIT

🎭 Science meets art: He brings researchers into bars, artistic stages, and music venues so anyone can walk in, grab a drink, and walk out knowing something new

🎶 Unlikely collabs: Ciencia Café has partnered with the Bogotá Philharmonic Orchestra, blending classical music and science to reach audiences that traditional lectures never could

🧠 The real barrier isn't knowledge: It's how we communicate it. Carlos breaks down exactly why scientists struggle — and the surprisingly simple fix
