SEMANA DE LA CIENCIA. ACTIVITY: TAPACONCIENCIA.
CIBERobn participated in the dissemination activity “TapaConCiencia” in the Semana de la Ciencia in Madrid with 250 participants . Eight research projects corresponding to the subject areas of the CIBER were disclosed in the activity and used as a source of inspiration for Chef Jorge Cuéllar to design 8 elaborate “tapas” .
Researcher José López Miranda represented CIBERobn, explaining his research on the “Benefits of Olive Oil for Health”, which was accompanied by “Gazpachuelo virgen extra con moluscos, mariscos y brotes marinos” prepared by the chef . The act raised a lot of interest among the general public as well as among the general media, scientific specialists and gastronomy specialists who interviewed the researchers participating in the activity .

CIBERobn researchers participated in the following informative workshops relating to some of the research that is representative of the CIBER within the Instituto de Salud Carlos III:
• “APRENDE A CUIDARTE JUGANDO Y COMIENDO” .
Zaida Agüera, Cristina Giner and Fernando Fernández Aranda .
Presentation of a therapeutic video game that seeks to intervene in disorders relating to impulsivity, such as eating disorders and obesity; and a demonstration of the video game “Playmancer” as a therapeutic tool in children and adolescents .
• “EL FUTURO YA ESTÁ AQUÍ. CAMISETAS INTELIGENTES PARA CONOCER LA CONDICIÓN FÍSICA”
Empar Lurbe, Julio Álvarez and Pau Redón .
Attendees to this workshop could learn about a t-shirt capable of measuring the physical conditions of children and adolescents as a support tool for professionals for determining which type of physical exercise is advisable for each person . It is a clear example of innovation in health through the application of Information and Communication Technologies of the Information and the Communications (ICTs) to health issues associated with childhood obesity .
