Álvaro Carmona, a bioquimical researcher and science communicator, discusses his journey in health communication via social media and the challenges of misinformation.
Álvaro Carmona, a bioquimical researcher with a master's in neuroscience and a doctorate in molecular medicine, began sharing health topics on social media in 2018. His engagement was initiated while he was in Rome during his doctoral studies, where he connected with a community of Spanish expatriates. His informal and engaging style led his peers to encourage him to start a YouTube channel, which eventually flourished despite his initial reluctance to engage with social media.
