Background and... Fowardground!

I am a theoretical biologist interested in Evolution and Interdisciplinary synthesis of sciences. I have worked in philosophy of science and modeling cross scales in evolution. From my research I concluded that the experience is more important that the digital information (as proteins). So I decide to go outside to live and adventure life and put in practice my theories. I discovered lots of hidden skills in my own adaptation capabilities and I found Biomimicry. I am a BaDT (biologist at the Design Table) and now, I participe in the First Certificate in Biomimicry at the Biomimicry Institute. Recently, I contacted a Sustainability Laboratory starting in Quebec, Canada, called Contact Future I am looking forward to work with them as Biomimicry Facilitator.

I have worked in enviromental and science education in no-formal and formal formats for 7 years. I love the contact with people of all ages! I learn so much about myself, humanity and Nature! Now I teach Biomimicry in secondary schools in Quebec. In education I am inspired by most of mammals, specially big cats and apes. A human who also inspired me a lot is Ken Robinson.

I have and specialitation in Projects for communitary development from the Bolivariana University of Buenos Aires. I have participate developping projects at Colombia en Hechos and recently at Aniwaki.


Integration of being

In my life I also do more than work using my left brain. I rock climb...  I tryied ice climb and I loved it! I weave and now I am learning sewing. I like painting too. I practice Tensegrity, exercises from the toltec tradition of Mexico.

I also develop practical skills in permaculture and, soon, in natural building, because I am preparing plans to build my house. I hope this amazing community (humans and no-humans) will help to inform my house with the beauty and function of Nature!
