Bego studied biology and was engaged as an undergraduate student in an Antarctic adventure, which fascinated and captured her completely. This lead to her starting a PhD at the Marine Science Institute (ICM-CSIC) from Barcelona on marine ecology in a High Antarctic continental shelf system. More exactly, she’d like to unveil some of the benthic-pelagic relationships occurring in the Weddell Sea. She is currently “writing” and hopes to give in her dissertation soon. But Bego is not only interested in “natural sciences”, so she also completed her studies in cultural anthropology, and would like to develop some still blurry ideas regarding more anthropological topics in polar regions. She has been working in outreach projects since a long time ago, represents the Spanish YSC and is member and co-founder of the outreach association Omnis cellula.
