El País interviews are terrific! Forget rubbing shoulders with genius (even Jeffrey Epstein did that 🤢). Now, you're a real star! 😉

@MarcAbrahams Few weeks ago I showed the IG Nobels to my son, nine years old, and now he is crazy about flying frogs, stresful cows and dogs peeing to the south/north (actually, our dog is being the continuation of this experiment 😁)
So, everyday he asks me something about science, and -despite I dont have scientist knowledge- we look for the answer together using wikipedia.

Thank you so much for making science atractible for children 👏
