Lights and colors: between health, history, and physics

Immerse yourself in a fascinating evening where science and curiosity meet in a relaxed atmosphere. We will explore how light and color shape our health, our history, and our understanding of the universe through three informative talks given by expert researchers.

Program

• Light during the night: what is the price to pay? by Juan Carlos Mayo (Universidad de Oviedo). We will analyze how exposure to nighttime light can alter physiological processes and its relationship with various pathologies.
• The secret of the color red: Bugs, spies, science by Nieves Rico Parreño (Universidad de Oviedo). Discover the history of the red pigment, from its value as a symbol of power to the espionage operations to control its production.
• Fingerprint of the elements by Jose Antonio Murillo Pulgarín (UCLM). Learn how atomic emission allows us to identify the composition of stars and northern lights through practical experiments.

Come and enjoy an afternoon of learning and science in good company!
