Diego Golombek Biography & Facts
Diego Golombek (born 22 November 1964) is an Argentine biologist, communicator and popularizer of science. He is currently professor at National University of Quilmes and researcher at CONICET. He is author of several books about biology and related topics, although he is mainly known due to his appearances on radio and television. Life He graduated from University of Buenos Aires in 1988 with a magna cum laude degree. Four years later, he obtained a PhD in biology at the same institution. In parallel with his biology career and still in his young years Golombek started to write short stories and poetry. He was awarded several literary prizes in Argentina, Chile and Venezuela. Work Golombek is an experienced researcher in chronobiology. In 2007 he received the Ig Nobel Prize for discovering that hamsters recover from jetlag more quickly under the effects of Viagra. He is known for his aim of making biology understandable for laymen; his efforts are mostly intended to make public some aspects of scientists' everyday life, which are usually considered to be hidden or enigmatic. He insists that science is a fundamental resource for increasing the socio-economic activity of an underdeveloped country like Argentina. He has taken part in Científicos Industria Argentina (English: Scientists Made in Argentina), a TV show hosted by mathematician Adrián Paenza and broadcast by TV Pública. Golombek also hosts his own show in the same channel, which is named Doctor G. It is a children-oriented show, in which he—along with his assistants, Sir from Here and Sir from There—explains the science behind everyday tasks, such as what are the chemical procedures involved in cooking an asado or how a match works. Moreover, he is editor-in-chief of a collection called "Ciencia que ladra...", printed by Siglo Veintiuno. Its name is a mention to the Spanish version of the proverb "its bark is worse than its bite", but in reference to science. Politics In 2016 Golombek became part of a Macri administration think tank which purported to be a "Presidential Council," but he left immediately after the first meeting. In the wake of 2018 abortion debate in Argentina, he endorsed its legalization arguing that "a group of living cells do not represent a human being". Bibliography Papers Agostino, P. V.; Plano, S.
