IMDEA-CSI: Crime scene investigation (Season 3) at The European Researchers’ Night in Madrid 2019

October 3, 2019

This year was the tenth edition of The European Researchers’ Night in Madrid attended by the researchers of the IMDEA Institutes. And for the fifth consecutive year, the chosen stage was the Residencia de Estudiantes of Madrid. The European Researchers’ Night in Madrid is a European project for the dissemination of science, which, in our community, is coordinated by the Fundación para el Conocimiento madrimasd.

Thanks to the team work of the forensic police and the researchers of the IMDEA Institutes, we could discover the culprit.

The forensic police inspector Joaquín R. Carrasco and his two companions, the deputy inspector Fernando Álvarez and officer Julián Blanco collected the evidence at the scene of the crime for analysis by the researchers of the IMDEA Institutes: Susana Molina, Isabel Espinosa, Mariam Barawi, Ángel León, Joaquín Fernández, Álvaro Somoza, Narseo Vallina and Matteo Campanelli.

IMDEA-CSI: Crime scene investigation (Season 3) has tried to make the public enjoy and at the same time understand that although the work of a scientist is usually carried out between the four walls of a laboratory or an office, their results “live” before or after outside those walls, and serve to things as interesting, necessary and useful as helping the police to prosecute the crime. For one day, researchers at the IMDEA Institutes became the “armed science” arm of the police to show us that if they all have something in common, whether they are physicists, chemists, computer engineers, mathematicians or, …, it is their immense curiosity to know better the world around us and their desire to improve it.
