L’esdeveniment va tenir lloc a Barcelona el 10 i 11 de juny i va incloure més de 170 activitats de divulgació científica de tots els àmbits.
La 16a Festa de la Ciència es va celebrar aquest any a la Rambla de Prim de Barcelona, aplegant a prop de 16.000 visitants. Entre totes les activitats organitzades durant els dos dies, que incloïen espectacles, xarrades, experiments, jocs i debats, el CRM va participar-hi amb dos tallers per a públics de totes les edats.
El dissabte a la tarda en Dani Ramos i en Pau Varela, de l’equip de comunicació i divulgació del CRM, va realitzar el taller Caos i fractals, on els participants van poder experimentar la complexitat i la impredictibilitat del caos, i la misteriosa relació que aquest té amb les fractals (formes geomètriques que es repeteixen a si mateixes). El taller comptava amb diversos mòduls pràctics que els participants van poder manipular per conèixer millor la naturalesa d’aquests i altres fenòmens misteriosos de les matemàtiques.
L’endemà diumenge, a l’espai Viure més i millor, una representació del grup de recerca en Neurociència computacional del CRM va dur a terme un taller sobre el funcionament físic del cervell. L’activitat, portada a cap conjuntament amb el Brain Circuits and Behavior Lab de IDIBAPS, va convidar els participants a explorar com funcionen els senyals nerviosos que ens permeten pensar i realitzar accions. L’activitat va comptar també amb una explicació sobre els models matemàtics creats per la neurociència per explicar i mesurar el comportament. Aquest taller en particular va ser tot un èxit entre el públic assistent i es va acabar allargant més enllà de l’horari previst per tota la gent interessada a saber-ne més.
En general, una experiència molt positiva poder tornar a participar en la Festa de la Ciència i veure l’interès creixent que aquests esdeveniments genera en cada nova edició. Moltes gràcies a tothom que es va acostar a veure i participar dels tallers del CRM, esperem tornar-vos a veure l’any vinent.
