"On the Slimiest Origins": Talk between artists Leonor Serrano and Diego Delas with Dr. Pascual Anaya and curator Bernardo de Souza.
This conversation between art curator Bernardo de Souza and scientist Juan Pascual Anaya explores the links between art and science, with hagfish genome research at its core. The conversation focuses on how the two fields, despite having different perspectives, share an impulse to imagine, study and speculate on the mysteries of life and nature.
Dates and times
Saturday, November 2, 18:00 to 18:30
Address
Auditorium Eduardo Ocón, Paseo de España, Málaga
This dialogue doesn't seek definitive answers, but plays with the idea that art and science both operate in that space where the imaginary and the real intermingle, constantly pushing back the boundaries of what we think we know.
Juan Pascual Anaya
A researcher in the Department of Animal Biology at the University of Malaga, Juan Pascual Anaya holds a PhD in genetics from the University of Barcelona. Specializing in genome evolution and embryonic development, he has conducted major studies at the RIKEN center in Japan. He led the sequencing of the first myxinid genome, an essential discovery for understanding the earliest origins of vertebrates. Pascual Anaya has made a significant contribution to evolutionary genetics, and his studies continue to influence developmental biology.
