Science on Twitter

September 20, 2021
On Monday, September 20, the @LatinXChem event took place on Twitter, a virtual forum where Latin American scientists from around the world shared and discussed the results and progress of their research.

Dr. Lorena Betancor, professor of Protein Technology in the Department of Biotechnology, helped organize the event.

Meanwhile, Dr. Cecilia Ortiz, an associate professor, served on the jury for the Chemistry and Biotechnology category (#LXChemBio).

Registered participants tweeted and shared their research and posters. A panel of judges then evaluated the posters; there were 11 categories, with three prizes awarded in each.

Biotechnology graduates Magdalena Ripoll, MSc, and Eliana Nervi, MSc, shared the research they conducted at the Biotechnology Laboratory at Universidad ORT Uruguay.
