Ascensão Ravara (F210-CDDA-448F)

Curriculum Vitae

Ascensão Ravara

Ascensão Ravara concluded her first degree in Biology in 1994, MSc degree in Sciences of the Coastal Zones in 1997 and PhD in Biology in 2010, all at the University of Aveiro. She is a contracted assistant researcher at the University of Aveiro and an associate member of CESAM (Center for Environmental and Marine Studies). She is also the curator of the Biological Research Collection of the University of Aveiro (COBI; http://cobi.web.ua.pt/). Her main research interests focus on polychaete taxonomy and phylogeny; cryptic species; deep-sea biology and chemosynthetic invertebrate communities; curatorial techniques and register of marine fauna; management of museum collections of marine invertebrates; public outreach and science communication activities. As curator of COBI, she as organized visits to the collection, in-situ and itinerant exhibitions, and science communication activities aimed at general public and especially at school community (e.g., integrated in “Blue School” educational program of the Portuguese Ministry, https://escolaazul.pt/en) and/or integrated in the initiatives promoted by UA (e.g. Open Campus, Xperimenta, Summer School). Recently, she started a collaboration with the project “ Empowering science communication in educational research: a path for sustainable innovations in education” (EmpowerScienceEDU), coordinated by Cecília Guerra (CIDTFF, DEP, UA), which aims to develop science communication activities in school context.
