Sara Marañón holds a PhD in Ecology and her research focuses on the effects of global change and the disturbances caused to ecosystems. At the UAB Science Carriage Expert's Seat, she will converse with passengers on regenerative agriculture, which aims to replenish the soil and guarantee that it has enough organic material and carbon to help it continue to be fertile land. Regenerative agriculture is based on the basic pillars of agriculture: soil and its quality, and how this relates to its capacity to store or release CO2.

The journey will begin at 10:42 a.m. on the FGC train travelling from the Universitat Autònoma to the Plaça Catalunya station.

Off the Archeological record is based on the study predoctoral researcher Paloma Zarzuela is conducting in her doctoral thesis, “A history of archaeology. An analysis of the social dynamics and female experiences in the discipline (1975-2020)”, within the framework of the PhD programme in Prehistoric Archaeology at the UAB.

The documentary, directed by Katia Calmet Valle, narrates the recent past of the discipline of archaeology from a gender perspective. Through the personal experiences of very diverse female archaeologists, it analyses the inequalities that are still entrenched and addresses issues such as precariousness, specialisation, motherhood or leadership, factors that influence the continuity (or not) of professional careers.

The event is free and open to the general public.
