"Decentralising the Human in Colour Perception:
The rainbow looks different to a human than it does to a honeybee"
Rebeca has a PhD in Science, and her transdisciplinary work examines Biophysics (analysis at nanometric and micrometric scales of surface materials and biological structures), Functional and structural biology (biophysics with emphasis on principles of mechanics, form and function), Bio design (from the lens of biomimicry, local thinking and biomaterials) and Collaboration and dialogue (crossing the human-human dynamics toward interspecies collaboration).
Her work in education, delves into the relationships between humans and nature in the context of socioecological challenges and team science. Over the last few years, her research has also focused on reimagining and contextualising biomimicry within Latin America, aiming at new ways of doing and thinking from and with nature through conscious bio design practices. Her scientific projects make efforts to recognise environmental and sociocultural implications, genetic and biophysical characteristics and dynamics of wasps and bees of Costa Rica.
Her research has been published in prestigious academic journals, secondary literature and international media.
