Patricia Molina scientific monitor in the project SMART Barcelona
- Saturday, 09 November 2019 12:44
Patricia Molina participates as scientific monitor in the project SMART Barcelona, an international iniciative which aims to explain science in a practical and didactic manner to children between the ages of 5 and 14 years old. There is a wide range of programs, where children perform real experiments in different laboratories, from genetics to chemical synthesis, directed by young scientists. Moreover, parents simultaneously participate in a separate program to learn from the same topic. It is, without any doubt, a very entertaining and enriching activity for the weekend, and an important project to bring science close to the younger ones.

Study of our group about controllable and uncontrollable stress published in Scientific Reports
- Monday, 04 March 2019 16:50
Our group has carried out a study about the differential effect at short and long-term of exposure to controllable and uncontrollable stress during adolescence in male rats. In this study, the authors show that despite that exposure to stressful situations in adolescence has negative consequences at short and long-term both at the physiological and behavioural level, the possibility to exert control over the stressor might mitigate its negative effects. The study, lead by Dr. Roser Nadal and Dr. Antonio Armario, has been published in the journal Scientific Reports and includes data from the PhD dissertation of Dr. Maria Sanchís Ollé. Congratulations to all the researchers involved in this study!
