Latin America has long been a hub for studying the cosmos, with ancient solar observatories in Mexico and state-of-the-art radio telescopes in the Andes. This region has been at the forefront of numerous exciting astronomical discoveries and space research over the years.
Now, Science Friday is teaming up with El País: América Futura to launch a 7-week newsletter focused on astronomy and space science in Latin America. Each week, subscribers will receive a story on topics such as how satellites are monitoring deforestation in the Amazon, the future of astronomy in Puerto Rico following the collapse of the Arecibo telescope, and new research being conducted by Latin American women in the field.
The newsletter will be available in both English and Spanish, catering to a wide audience interested in astronomy and space science. The newsletter is set to begin on May 22nd, providing readers with a unique and insightful look into the advancements and discoveries in the field happening in Latin America.
Santiago Flórez, Science Friday’s community manager, will be contributing to the newsletter and sharing his expertise in astronomy and space science. As a former teacher, anthropologist, and journalist, Flórez brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the project, ensuring that readers will receive well-rounded and informative content each week.
