Queen Letizia of Spain presided over the finale of the Ibero-American Science Contest at the Fernando de Rojas Theater within the Círculo de Bellas Artes, a prominent cultural center in Madrid, Spain. Yesterday, the gorgeous Spanish Queen simply stole hearts in Guadalupe during her away day with King Felipe. Scientific monologues “Science Only,” an initiative that aimed to involve and train researchers in scientific dissemination from the early stages of her professional career.
Organized by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), a public institution dedicated to promoting scientific communication and research dissemination, particularly in the Spanish language. The competition represented an exceptional opportunity to value the use of Spanish as a language of scientific communication, through an innovative format. The “Solo de Ciencia” contest aims to foster science communication in Spanish by encouraging researchers and scientists to present complex scientific concepts in an engaging, humorous, and accessible manner through three-minute monologues.
The initiative seeks to bridge the gap between science and the general public, emphasizing the use of Spanish as a language for scientific discourse in a field often dominated by English. The national final featured eight monologuists, selected from a semifinal held earlier in Granada at the Teatro Isabel La Católica. The winner of this national final will represent Spain in the next Ibero-American final, to be held on November 28, on the occasion of the Ibero-American Science Day.
Queen Letizia took to the state to honour the winner. Alicia Otero, affiliated with the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR), won both the jury’s first prize and the audience award for her monologue titled “Gossip Sapiens.” This was the 4th time Queen Letizia has presented this award.
