We always like to spread the I’m a Scientist love. The event currently runs in Ireland, Kenya, Malaysia, the United States, and of course here in the UK.

This school year we are adding another country (and language!) to the I’m a Scientist map: Somos Científicos (We Are Scientists) in Spain!

The first “Somos Científicos” event will run 11th – 22th April 2016, involving Spanish schools and scientists. The project site is already live, so head to somoscientificos.es for more information or if you just want to test out your ‘conversational’ (according to your CV) level of Spanish.

Now any fledgling project needs both schools and scientists to be a success. We know we have Spanish friends who have taken part in I’m a Scientist UK in the past, and we have a small favour to ask of you: Please spread the word about Somos Cientificos to your colleagues, friends, family and even strangers if they are scientists or teachers!

If you’re a scientist who would like to be part of this new event, find out more and apply at: somoscientificos.es/cientificos

If you’re a teacher and want to get your students talking to real scientists in their own language, find out more and register to take part at: somoscientificos.es/profesores

You can also follow @S_Cientificos  on Twitter for updates about the project and what Angela assures us are Spanish science puns.

Yes, April may seem a long way off at the moment, but as some people say, “¡La paciencia es la madre de la ciencia!”
