October 2025: Field campaign in Albacete (Spain)
Finally, the weather allowed us to carry out a prescribed burn, and with it, our bioaerosol sampling! There, our PhD Karthika, along with the group led by our colleague Jorge de las Heras from the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), was able to collect the bioaerosol samples for the BioSmoke project.
We thank the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha, especially the fire department, and particularly Domingo Calderón for his help and collaboration.
We eagerly await the results!

September-October 2025: 9th iDiv Annual Conference in Halle (Germany)
Our PhD Bhavana presented her recent work on bioaerosols and obtained the 2nd prize in the category "Best talk by an early-career researcher". Congratulatons!! 🙂
In addition, we also presented an overview of the topic conducted in our group by the presentation of a poster. We received very interesting comments. Thank you everyone who showed interest and came by!

April 2025: EGU conference in Vienna (Austria)
Our PhD Bhavana Valath Buan Dhas presented our recent work on bioaerosols carried out at the Leipzig Canopy Crane at the EGU conference. She showed the importance of seasons and source contributions for airborne biological particles.
We are very proud that she was able to present her work at such an international conference that brings together multiple scientific disciplines. Congratulations! 🙂

Some of my research contributions to health and the environment and also to making science understandable to the general public can be seen in the following videos:
Explanation of the Patent that describes a new protocol to detect Legionella pneumophila in the air (in Spanish).
Talk where Beatriz Sánchez Parra explains to the general public in the Barcelona Science Week (2020) how the scientists study the biological particles from the air. Event organised by: LaBiotheque (in Spanish).
