SO Colloquium: Cosmic chemical evolution: here, there, and everywhere Metals play a very important role in star formation and stellar evolution. Amongst other things they control the cooling of the interstellar gas, thus allowing the formation of stars; they affect the radiation transport, through the opacities involved in the different microscopic processes; and they have the most important role in the dust formation and in the mass loss from stars. Metals are formed inside stars. Therefore, it is expected that... Profa. Ángeles Díaz Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Madrid, España |

Who Is Afraid of the Dark (Energy)? Cosmic acceleration dominates the behavior of the recent universe, with some fundamentally new physics at its heart. Recent data gives a tantalizing suggestion that the dark energy behind it is more complicated than a cosmological constant. Nevertheless, we do know a lot about how to describe dark energy behavior. Data within the next year has great promise to give further insight, and exciting new instruments are being planned. Dr. Eric Linder Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA. |

The stellar distribution in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies suggests deviations from the collisionless cold dark matter paradigm Unraveling the nature of dark matter (DM) stands as a primary objective in modern physics. I will present evidence suggesting deviations from the collisionless Cold DM (CDM) paradigm. In the standard cosmological model the dark matter (DM) particles are collisionless and, because of this very nature, they develop halos with the characteristic central cusp known as NFW profile. Real galaxies do not show NFW profiles but, rather, have a DM mass... Dr. Jorge Sánchez Almeida Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias . Canarias , España |

Intersexionality, a key work for diversity? Since we are children we have been taught what we are and we learn how to fit into a set of infinite boxes. Each of these boxes defines us and, at the same time, can be used to discriminate against us, in life and at work. Diversity exists and it could be an advantage for our society. As scientists we should understand how to take care of diversity and use it to improve our work and life quality. One of the main problems in the past has been...
