I am a scientist originally from Spain, the core of my professional activity is on the one hand the evolutionary ecology of plant-animal interactions and on the other, the research on the impact of global change on biodiversity, particularly regarding ecosystem functions and services such as carbon storage. I am also engaged in science outreach (enjoy https://vimeo.com/218616392) and on fighting gender discrimination (tweeting @Mar_Sobral_). Formerly at Stanford (US) and CNRS (France). Now at USC (Spain).
