David Medina

Biotechnologist and Communication Assistant

--- --- ---

I am biotechnologist, graduated by the Pablo de Olavide University (Seville, Spain) in summer 2017. After that, I have developed technical assistance and Research and Development roles in Istanbul, Turkey. Also, I have experience as scientific communicator in some online journals directed to non – specialised public thanks to my ability to analyse, manage and explain scientific information.

From April 2018 I am working in the ETC-UMA mainly involved in PANACeA project and communication functions, such as production and edition of news, videos and press releases.

During this experience, I will be increasing public awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability and supporting my colleagues in everything they need.
