Deborah Liguori made her debut as a monologuist with her talk 'The invisible power: unveiling the mystery of permanent magnets', in the UPNA Show-Monologues with Science, an initiative of the UPNA Scientific Culture Unit that brings science to the public in a clear, close and exciting way. This event took place on 23 and 24 May in Tudela and Pamplona, with the participation of more than ten monologuists who spoke on a wide range of topics.

Deborah, passionate about physicit, explained in her monologue the importance of magnets in our daily lives, their presence in countless uses, and the dependence we have on rare earths, and how her PhD research seeks to improve the performance of ferrite as an alternative to be used in certain applications, so that our world won't be so dependent and vulnerable to scarcity, geopolitical conflicts and economic interests related to rare earths.

It has to be hard to stand in front of so many people and perform a monolog with such charm and sympathy. Nerves, doubts, stage fright... and even more so in a language that is not your mother tongue, which makes it all the more valuable. For a month, they prepared intensively to connect with the audience, improve their communication skills and face the stage with authenticity, and sure that everything they learnt will be useful for them soon again!

Highly recommended to watch the performances on the Upna's Culture and Outreach channel.

Deborah, you did it great!
