NeuroTransmitiendo

My career in psychology and neuroscience has always been linked to my passion for effective communication. This led me to co-found NeuroTransmitiendo, a project dedicated to communication and education in human behavior, with a particular focus on the Latin American context.

In 2019, together with a team of colleagues, we identified a critical gap in the representation and communication of topics related to human behavior, neuroscience, and mental health in our region. Far too often, these topics were either misunderstood or trivialized, resulting in a landscape full of misinformation.

Our mission is to provide accurate, in-depth and accessible information about human behavior, neuroscience and mental health. The initiative grew quickly into one of the largest Latin American communities dedicated to disseminating scientific knowledge about human behavior — over 33,000 followers and a team of more than 30 researchers — debunking common myths about mental health, including key issues such as suicide, anxiety and depression.

To achieve these goals, we create content on Instagram through informative posts and use our podcast to interview renowned neuroscientists from across Latin America. I contribute to the podcast as an interviewer and general producer, delving into a wide range of topics in the field of neuroscience.

Since then the organization has grown well beyond communication. I created and directed a Diploma Program in Cognitive Neuroscience, with over 300 students — more than 40% of them on scholarships — taught by faculty from leading international universities. I also founded and organized the first Latin American Conference of Cognitive Neuroscience in 2025, now in its second edition, which across both years has drawn over 400 attendees and more than 100 posters.

I have served on the Board of Directors since the organization was founded, with responsibilities in nonprofit governance, strategic planning and organizational development.
