A través de una conmovedora historia de una niña que superó su miedo a las orugas al presenciar su metamorfosis, Natalia nos lleva a ver en el ciclo de vida de la mariposa una poderosa metáfora de nuestra propia existencia.
La charla se enfoca en las cuatro etapas de la mariposa (huevo, oruga, crisálida y mariposa) para analizar cuatro momentos cruciales de la vida. La propuesta es que el asombro es la herramienta para superar el miedo y que, al igual que la mariposa, las personas pasan por fases esenciales para el aprendizaje y el renacimiento personal. Con 25 años de experiencia, Natalia Molina es una voz experta en la ciencia ambiental en Ecuador. Como docente investigadora de la UEES, su trabajo ha sido fundamental para la conservación de los manglares del Ecuador. Su proyecto homónimo recibió el galardón del Pacto Global ODS 15 en 2020 y su programa Biodiversidad Sostenible del Manglar al Coral 2021-2050 obtuvo la insignia en los QS reimagine Education Awards en Londres. Autora de libros y artículos científicos, ha sido reconocida con la medalla al Mérito por el Municipio de Guayaquil por acercar la ciencia a las comunidades y por su incansable labor ambiental.
