The visit of an important crystallographer

Last March we had the great honour of receiving Juan Manuel García Ruiz at our School. He presented the first “Ciclo de Cine Científico” in Alcalá la Real with his film “El Misterio de los Cristales Gigantes” and he answered our questions in a “Café con Ciencia”. Thanks to the “Fundación Desqbre” for the organisation of these two events.

Besides, Juanma, together with the city Mayor, Marino Aguilera, gave us the gold medals that we won in the international contest.
