I accompany the above with another thesis of life that says that I love to have fun learning and when you love what you do, publications like these come out. Without further reason, here is my publication.
On Monday and Tuesday we held the II Workshop on the Coastal Vulnerability Index developed by our center, which aims to measure how much the sea level is rising, to deliver this information to the State management, to take measures to take care of the population.
This year there was international participation with the presence of a PhD student from the Geological Survey of Ireland, but who is a Spanish citizen.
So far so good, but what is new or novel?
It happens that for the first time in the six years that I have been in charge of the organization of scientific events, it had never happened to me that in a cafeteria that provided us with service there was no coffee as a morning or courtesy drink, and that happened when the director of the Petroleum Convention Center, where the event was held, told me that she did not have coffee for the two days, and even for the first day the coffee she had was very little.
When I spoke with my colleagues at the event and with my co-workers, the immediate solution appeared and we all decided to provide the steaming beverage that we like so much, but there was more than one proposal. I will now tell you what was proposed:
- Some proposed that with the coffee collected we could give coffee on both days.
- Others proposed to give coffee only one day, from what they had in the cafeteria and the other to start the day with a snack.
- However, a 68 year old researcher made the following intervention (This is the essence that I make because I did not know that today I would make this publication): We always start our events and scientific workshops with coffee, that is not bad, but there are elderly people and others who do not drink coffee and do drink Tea and launched the initiative: A cup of Coffee one day and the other the Cup of Tea.
Similarly, and to make our start of the day more enjoyable, they proposed to address different elements about these beverages, in the cafeteria itself, before starting the work sessions. They were interesting moments, especially on the day when tea was toasted.
I recognize that many of the things raised about Tea I did not know. Many of these researchers have been in countries where this beverage is widely consumed and they gave us some information that I did not know. For example, that there are some types of tea that have as much caffeine or more than coffee itself, the importance of drinking it in the winter, they explained the amount of minerals it has and how they prevent the cells from oxidizing because they are antioxidants. They also told me to drink tea to lose weight and that instead of eating at night I should drink this delicious beverage.
After so much explanation we decided that our workshop would have two protagonists lifting spirits and spirits, so we decided that in the event one day we would give Coffee and the next we would give Tea and so we did.
I must say that the proposal was very well received and each of these beverages was offered. So our scientific event was between a cup of Coffee on Monday and a cup of Tea on Tuesday.
