Although he is now dedicated to communicating science to new generations<\/strong>, Gerardo Herrera<\/a>‘s relationship with the subject began when he was in the fourth grade in his hometown of Delicias, Chihuahua. His teacher brought a microscope<\/strong> to class, allowing him to see the microorganisms in a drop of water as well as the cells in an onion skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This experience, which sparked the curiosity <\/strong>of the now-Doctor in Physics, researcher, columnist, and author, was one of the key reflections he shared during the roundtable discussion titled The Importance of Science Communication for Young People<\/strong><\/em> at the 2024 Monterrey International Book Fair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was a spectacular experience I had as a child that left a lasting impact on me. Scientific activity begins with doubt<\/strong>, all theories and knowledge are subject to being discarded in light of new evidence,” says the scientist, who has been part of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)<\/strong> in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herrera shared the stage with fellow science communicator, biologist, writer, and columnist Andr\u00e9s Cota<\/a>, where they discussed the importance of knowledge and how new generations can engage with it<\/strong> through various media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The talk, sponsored by TecScience<\/strong><\/em>, was moderated by journalist Mariana<\/a> Le\u00f3n<\/a>, editor of content for this outreach platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
