She won a CIDTFF postdoctoral grant (03.2023 to 02.2024) with the project Sense of belonging in young people participating in Cartas com Ciência- an assessment of the contributions of science and who makes it. She is also the co-founder and co-director of non-profit initiative Cartas com Ciência. She previously combined research in molecular biology with science and society projects in Portugal, Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany and Nigeria (for nine years, 2012-2021). Mariana has a PhD in Natural Sciences form the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and Universität Heidelberg (Germany), MSc Cellular and Molecular Biology (06.2017) from University of Coimbra (with thesis research at the University of Cambridge and a research rotation at the University of Copenhagen) and BSc in Biochemistry (06.2015) from University of Coimbra . For 1 year after completing her PhD, Mariana worked as Science Democratisation Project Leader at the Gulbenkian Foundation Science Institute (2022-2023), managing science cooperation projects with Portuguese-speaking African countries. Mariana has (co)authored nine publications in diverse and international journals (h index=6 in SCOPUS / 8 in Google Scholar). From these, two are in the science education and communication & science and society domains, and seven are in the biology research domain. She has (co)authored other forms of scientific production such as conference posters, reports, online essays and resources, and of scientific dissemination such as newspaper and magazine articles. Mariana has a diversified record of 43 communications - 27 by invitation, 27 international and 16 national -, together with 15 lectures in the context of advanced training from BSc to PhD level (14 by invitation, 5 international, 10 national). She supervised a MSc student from Kazakhstan who is developed a science portfolio SE&C project at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Mariana has been vastly involved in participating and leading activities for the research community and science dissemination. She has organized over 16 events or initiatives and participated in or attended over 40 workshops/webinars/events/trainings about science & society, communication, education, diversity and inclusion. Mariana is part of diverse international networks such as Sinergias ED for research-action in development education in Portugal, ANGEL Network in Global Education and Learning, FOCO for Global Citizenship, SCICOMPT - Portuguese Science Communication Network, or the international communities DiverSci, Collaborative Futures Academy Alumni, and Global (Scape) Science Communication and Perception. She is a science communication collaborator of the Drosophila Research and Training Center in Nigeria. She has received several awards, including being nominated in the Top 100 Social Innovators in Europe 2021 (Euclid Network).
