This project was born as a product of the agreement signed by the University of California, San Francisco, the Fundación Ciencia y Vida, and the EcoScience Foundation. Through this volunteer program, we participate in a science outreach project in which students who are in a science track in Chile can help translate science talks given by renowned experts in several fields. This is a great opportunity for Spanish-speaking students and professors.
The requirement to participate as a volunteer in this program is to be a student in an undergraduate- or graduate-level course in science and to be proficient in the English language.
You can see the work of our volunteers here.
The current volunteers are undergraduate- and post-graduate-level students from different scientific tracks.
We would like to thank all of them for their contribution:
