About you (please use English):

I come from Granada ( Spain) but I live in Bonn (Germany) since three years now. I am Chemist, I finished my PhD in organometallics in winter 2013 and I have done a post-doc in theoretical chemistry in Bonn this last year. You can see my complete scientific profile in Research gate, where you can see my scientific publications, prizes and work. I do a lot of other things, I write (mostly poetry) in a blog, and other stories in my new medium page. And I have attended many writing and expression courses. Communication is a really important matter for me, and to my passion I add a good knowledge of Spanish, English and German. I was scout girl and scouter over more than ten years, and that has been a big influence on my way to understanding life and nature. The scout-pedagogic stile and active leadership are skills that had stick deeply on me have ease my steps on improvise-theater, and other cultural organizations to which I have collaborated or even directed once I left the scout movement. Last but not least I am a recent mother, or half recent, my half German daughter is almost three now and this has been a big impulse for me into feminism issues that had always sound in my heart. I am interested into conciliation matters, maternity-work issues, engaged in several Women in Science initiatives and willing to learn and change as much as I can.
