Young students participated in a five-day program dedicated to deepening scientific content and developing ways to communicate science. During this period, participants learned techniques to make scientific concepts more accessible to the public.

The main objective of the event was to empower young people to translate complex scientific knowledge into understandable messages. The students explored different approaches to science communication.

The activities took place over five consecutive days, allowing the young people to immerse themselves in the content and practice different methods of scientific dissemination. This immersion enabled participants to develop skills in both understanding and presenting scientific topics.

Social jetlag: sleeping more on weekends can increase anxiety in teenagers, new study shows

A new meta-analysis published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews found that teenagers between 12 and 18 years old who sleep more on weekends may have higher levels of anxiety. Analyzing data from more than 235,000 young people and eight studies on the topic, researchers identified a link between the so-called "social jetlag" — the discrepancy between the teenager's biological clock and the school routine — and anxiety symptoms such as worry and restlessness. The greater the difference between sleep schedules during the week and on weekends, the more likely young people are to report higher levels of anxiety, reinforcing the importance of sleep as one of the pillars of mental health in adolescence.
