Biologist, palaeontologist and science communicator Francesc Gasc\u00f3, better known as Pakozoico, opens the doors to his unique mental ecosystem, where dinosaurs, fossil plants and excavations coexist. He is already known on social media for making science an exciting and fun adventure, but in this interview we ask him to answer our green questionnaire. He talks about his childhood summers in the mountains, his failed attempts to grow ferns in Madrid, his dietary sins and the pleasure of getting lost in a botanical garden searching for ancient species.<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n

Botanical Garden UV<\/a>Plants<\/a><\/div>
This year, once again for Arbor Day, we asked our colleagues from the Jard\u00ed Bot\u00e0nic of the University of Valencia what their favourite trees in the Garden are. Majesty, affection, magical memories, calm, refuge, curiosity… trees that evoke all kinds of feelings, unique to each person, and which are sure to invite you to take a stroll through our winter landscape, taking advantage of the fact that today, 31st January, admission is free, to choose your own. Or do you already have one? If so, don't hesitate to share it with us on Instagram using the hashtag #elmeuarbredelbotanic. Don't forget to tag us @jardibotanicuv and, if you feel like it, tell us why that tree is so special to you! From Esporas, we wish you a happy Arbor Day!<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n

Botanical Garden UV<\/a>Interviews<\/a><\/div>
Last year, we had the opportunity to enjoy the exhibition El \u00faltimo bosque (The Last Forest) at the Hort de Tramoieres gallery, where David Coronado gave us an in-depth look at the devastating reality of Mediterranean tropical forests. But David is much more than a photographer: he is a true storyteller of landscapes. Through his camera, he captures the beauty of nature with a unique sensitivity, observing it with depth and respect, so it comes as no surprise that he was recently awarded the Gabriel Cuallad\u00f3 National Photography Prize 2024. At Espores, we spoke with him to delve into his universe, from his earliest childhood memories in the mountains to the landscapes that inspire him, including his latest photography project. And we are glad to know that, for him, nature continues to be his most powerful creative ally.<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n

Lucy Veg: The Revolution in Vegan Shopping<\/a><\/p>

Espores. La veu del Bot\u00e0nic<\/a><\/p>

Green projects<\/a><\/div>
In an increasingly aware world regarding the importance of animal respect and sustainability, veganism has established itself as a philosophy of life that seeks, as far as possible, to avoid any type of animal suffering or mistreatment. This lifestyle not only focuses on diet, but also extends to everyday decisions, such as the choice of cosmetic and hygiene products that are both cruelty-free and vegan. However, finding products free from animal ingredients is not always easy. And this is where Lucy Veg comes into play, an innovative app that aspires to revolutionise the way vegans do their shopping. At Espores we want to know more, and this week we spoke with Martins Kapustins, its creator and founder.<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n

Preserving plant species and raising public awareness of the world of botany are the two aspects that best define this botanist, researcher and lecturer in the Department of Experimental and Social Science Education at the University of Valencia, who enjoys hiking in the mountains and can\u2019t imagine teaching without using the natural environments around us. Arboretums and botanical gardens such as ours, with which she has a long professional and personal relationship, are for her a magnificent resource for training future teachers and carrying out quality educational activities in the open air.<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n

A researcher in plant histology and microscopy, he also dedicates himself to training future science teachers. Botany and Biology Didactics, two fields, he assures us, that need patience, perseverance and study as ingredients. And good mood. In this interview, he shares his professional career and the research projects he is currently working on.<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n

Plants<\/a>Research<\/a><\/div>
Plants are constantly subjected to different environmental stimuli, among them mechanical ones, such as wind. Thus, a study has focused on one of these mechanical stimuli, specifically radial growth, which has a particularity: it is constant. Researcher \u00c1ngela Carri\u00f3 tells us about the importance of wood, and how a laboratory work can help us understand the relationships between the weight of the wood, growth hormones, and the proteins involved.<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n
