Carreras en Ciencias

Miércoles, Octubre 21, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Por segundo año, el Consulado General de México en San Francisco, en alianza con Science at Cal de UC Berkeley, serán anfitriones del “Día de la Ciencia”, un evento que le da la oportunidad al público de habla hispana de interactuar con científicos de diferentes campos y de tener una experiencia práctica con actividades científicas. Este evento consistirá en una mesa redonda virtual con 6 científicos de UC Berkeley y Berkeley Lab como panelistas que estarán hablando acerca de su carrera en ciencia, desde química, biología, física y otros. Esperamos poder desmitificar las carreras científicas y al mismo tiempo inspirar a los jóvenes para que posiblemente estudien una carrera científica. Este evento será en español.

Understanding our Sun

Saturday, October 24, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Our sun is, on average, 93 million miles away, and yet it is so powerful that you cannot look directly at it. What do we really know about this object at the center of our solar system? Science at Cal and The Lawrence Hall of Science have teamed up to create this virtual event featuring both UC Berkeley scientists and The Lawrence Hall of Science educators. Join us online to learn more about our sun in this live conversation suitable for adults and families alike. We’ll tackle a variety of hot questions from how do we study the sun to what have we learned from it.
