'Para comprender los cambios medioambientales en Seno Ballena a gran escala, es necesario volver al laboratorio y analizar toda la comunidad de fitoplancton, que es el área en la que trabajo principalmente, y comprender las variaciones de estos organismos a pequeña escala. Te das cuenta de que a medida que estos organismos pasan por un periodo cíclico en el tiempo, también interactúan con otros organismos, y su representación en el sistema afecta al resto de la cadena biológica.'

'In order to understand the environmental changes in Seno Ballena on a large scale, it is necessary to go back to the laboratory and analyze the entire phytoplankton community, which is the area I work mainly in, and understand their variations on a small scale. You realize that as these organisms undergo a cyclic period in time, they also interact with other organisms, and their representation in the system affects the rest of the biological chain.'
