Estudiosa puesta pa' ser doctora en Tecnologías Industriales por la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. Ambientalista y curiosa. Me gusta vivir con con·s·ciencia.

Visitar Galicia siempre es un acierto. Esta vez, feliz y agradecida de presentar mi trabajo en el XV Congreso Español de Tratamiento de Aguas #META2024 #Microplásticos

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells are a type of device that can convert light energy into electrical energy by harnessing the photoelectrochemical effect

#PECcells have the potential to be a game-changer for renewable energy.

My first scientific publication as first author in the framework of @paniwater_eu project. Have a look to learn about two #threats to the population today: the lack of #safedrinkingwater and the ubiquitous presence of #microplastics.

After a long and rigorous journey, we are excited to share that this work has been recently published in Journal of Hazardous Materials. Do #SODIS containers release #microplastics into the #treated #water? To know more, you have to read it 😉

Leonardo da Vinci loved quality over quantity.

He didn’t write paintings in quantities like we write #research papers today.

He always invested time, craft and artistry into each of his masterpieces.

For example, Mona Lisa took at least 4 years to paint and (most probably) another 10 years of refining.

It was ordered in 1503 by a cloth merchant Francesco del Giocondo, who asked for a portrait of his wife, Lisa. But Leonardo was a slow worker and finished the painting quite late. At that time, he started to work for the King Francis I of France, so apparently Leonardo gave the painting to the King as a gift.

▫️

Now, imagine he would have been ‘producing’ 10-20 paintings a year.

Moreover, imagine he would have hired younger painters and, without investing time into their training, asked for drafts? Just to turn painting into a “printing machine”.

Would his work have stayed in history for 500 years?

▫️

‘Quality over quantity’ goes well beyond science.

It’s in art.

It’s in long-lasting engineering.

It’s everywhere.

▫️

Don't publish for the sake of publishing.

Quality over quantity. Even if the academia pushes you into the opposite direction.

It’s what makes us, the humankind, progress and prosper.

And this is what makes history.

Today, our colleagues @csv_sotelo and @carafdez have been presenting their research within the frame of @hysolchem project at @KU_Leuven university. Very interesting 👏👏

[Photoners GIQA - URJC @photonersURJC]

¡Esta semana estamos en Sevilla en el XIV Congreso de la Mesa Española de Tratamiento de Aguas!
Aquí alguna de nuestras contribuciones en poster expuestas por @carafdez @csv_sotelo y @ella_titula

Hoy en la reunión de grupo Carmen Álvarez (@carafdez) nos da una clase magistral sobre espectroscopía IR y el análisis de los #microplásticos por MICRO-FTIR y nos enseña su trabajo sobre envejecimiento de botellas de plástico 🕐🕝🕦
Un trabajo muy laborioso. Enhorabuena!!! 👏👏👏

[Raffaella Pizzichetti @Raffa_Piz]

📢My first paper as first author has been recently published in "Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering" Journal! 📢 #Horizon2020 #openaccess @REWATERGY_EID

We examined the removability of #microplastics through #microfiltration. 🔬🧐

What solutions would you provide for the reduction of microplastics?
@Raffa_Piz and @carafdez discuss this question with the participants.
Thanks to all of you who have attended and joined us today? 😄

Today, at this moment, our students, @Raffa_Piz and @carafdez are presenting "#Microplásticos hasta en la sopa!!! in the #SemanaCienciaInnovación2020 .
An interactive talk with many questions to answer!!! 🤔
@REWATERGY_EID.
Great job!!!👏

This is the second experiment that our students
@Raffa_Piz and @carafdez prepared for the children 👧🧒at the #ScienceIsWonderful event. Most of the microplastics come from the clothes 🧥👖👕👗 that we wash in the washing machine. Enjoy this photo sequence.
