About me
Hi! I’m Luis, a biotechnology research scholar from Jujuy, Argentina. I have published research articles, review articles, and book chapters with international collaborators. My work has been supported by grants from Austria, Germany, and Canada for research stays.
My work
Within the Wikimedia movement, I volunteer to organize edit-a-thons and train youth editors in open science focused on microbiotechnology and resource recovery. I also release and curate biotech lab photos on Wikimedia Commons to make science more accessible for education, research, and creative use.
