For his part, the Director of the Master's in Plant Sciences, Dr. Esteban Basoalto, stressed that "as human beings we generate about 1.7 megabits of information per second and, in this sense, one of the problems is the capacity for analysis, quickly and effectively, to take advantage of it and apply it to specific contexts. Hence the importance of generating these spaces for discussion”.
