Science Behind the Glass: illuminating the human side
Science

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

¿Quiénes son realmente las personas que hacen posible la ciencia? Science Behind the Glass: illuminating the human side es un espacio sonoro bilingüe (español e inglés) dedicado a iluminar esas historias que suelen quedar en la sombra. Aquí no solo hablamos de descubrimientos, sino de las vidas detrás de ellos: ingenieras resolviendo problemas en terreno, analistas de datos descifrando patrones invisibles, líderes comunitarias aplicando conocimiento ancestral o técnicos de laboratorio cuyo minucioso trabajo es fundamental. Cada episodio de este podcast te lleva a través de conversaciones íntimas y narrativas profundas, recogiendo testimonios desde diversos rincones del mundo. Escucharás sobre las motivaciones personales, los obstáculos superados y los momentos de duda y triunfo que rara vez llegan a los titulares, pero que constituyen el verdadero motor de la investigación. Es una invitación a conocer la textura humana del quehacer científico, aquella que ocurre tras el cristal de las vitrinas académicas y los artículos especializados. Acompáñanos a descubrir las voces, a menudo calladas, cuyo esfuerzo colectivo da forma a nuestro entendimiento del mundo.
