From Monday through next Friday, four science clubs will be established, with current topics in climate change, nuclear physics, mechatronic engineering and atmospheric sciences, taught by experts, explained Cozcyt’s Director of Diffusion and Publication and President of the organization, Carlos Ivan Cabrera.

To repay their state for subsidies granted by the National Council for Science and Technology (Conacyt) and Cozcyt, at 10:00 am, doctors in the Netherlands and France, Claudia Yadira Muñoz and Anahi Segovia, respectively, began their Science Clubs Against Climate Change and Experimental Nuclear Physics.

Later, at noon, the basic mechatronic engineering and atmospheric sciences clubs also started: Learn About Our Atmosphere, led by PhD student, Alexis Hernandez; and the Leonardo Quirino Specialist Master’s degree in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, respectively.
