Since June 2024, I work as a Scientific Researcher at the Department of American Studies, Institute of History (IH), Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), in Madrid (Spain),
I am also a collaborating teacher at the Posgraduate Program in History Philosophy of Science Science Teaching, Federal University of Bahia -UFBA & Feira de Santana State University -UEFS (Brazil).
I got my Bachelor degree in Biological Sciences at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) in June 1999. That same year, I received a International Exchange Scholarship from the UAM, in order to study for one year in Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs (New York. USA).
In 2002, I was admitted in the Institute of History, part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), as a PhD researcher ascribed to its Department of History of Science. That same year, I received a FPU grant (Formación de Profesorado Universitario)from the Spanish government, from January 2002 to December 2005.During this period as a Doctoral Researcher, I had the opportunity to make different research stays in highly recognised International Research Centers, such as the Florence Anthropological Institute of the Florence University (Italy); the Lisbon Natural HistoryMuseum Museu Bocage- (Portugal); and the Centre Alexandre Koyré, CNRS, in Paris (France).
In 2006, I obtained my PhD. degree in Biology at the UAM, with a Doctoral Dissertation that received a Cum Laude Distinction by the Thesis Committee.
In 2007, I published my first book, La razón salvaje: Tecnociencia, Racismo y Racionalidad (Madrid: Lengua de Trapo) , which received a National Book Award for the best Essay (Premio de Ensayo Caja de Madrid).Also in 2007, I received an AECID scholarship for scientific cooperation between Spain and Brazil, and I begun to work as a Post-doctoral Fellow Researcher in the History, Philosophy and Biology Teaching Laboratory (LEFHBIO) at the Institute of Biology, Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Brazil.
In March 2010, I was hired by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) as a Post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of History (IH-CSIC), where I worked as a member of the Consolider Research Project Malaspina 2010.
In 2012 I received a DCR FAPESB/CNPq scholarhip to work on a competitive project as an Visiting Fellow Researcher to the LEFHBIO (Institute of Biology, UFBA, Brazil). That same year, I became a Permanent Professor to the Postgraduate Program in History and Philosophy of Science and Science Education (PPGEFHC-UFBA/UEFS), acting since them as academic supervisor of several PhD and MSc. researchers.
Since February 2014 , after winning a civil servant position with the Brazilian government in a competitive examination to become a university professor at the Federal University of Bahia- (UFBA), I worked as a Full Professor (Tenure Track Position) at the Institute of Arts,Humanities and Sciences ( IHAC) of that University, I am on leave of absence from June 2024.
Since 2020 I am the Leader of the Research Group "'HISNAIBA" (História do Naturalismo no âmbito Iberoamericano), whose researches focus on the history of naturalism and the natural sciences on the Ibero-American context, from the colonial period to the contemporary era.
Between 2022 2024, I was the Chief of the Colegiate body of Science and Technology Interdisciplinary Studies at the IHAC-UFBA.
Along my academic career, my research have focused on the History of scientific discourses on race/human diversity, with an special emphases in Ibero-America, particularly in Brazil.
I have published papers in high impact scientific journals in the field of the History of Science such as Journal of the History of Biology, Manguinhos, Science and Education, Revista de Indias, Asclepio, Theoria, Revista Brasileira de História, Nuncius, Revista Brasileira de História da Ciência, etc.
In an attempt to popularize and enhance the impact of my historical researches, I have worked in collaboration with different international researchers in Science Education, designing educational innovations based on the history of science. This educational Innovations focus in the history of race science both sides of the Atlantic -with an special emphases on Brazilian and Latin American science- included travelling exhibitions, and have been implemented with success in different contexts in Museums, Universities, Schools, and Public Libraries in Brazil.
During the last years, my research has focused on the History of Scientific expeditions to and within Ibero-America . This research led me to the discovery of a set of unknown philosophical writings by Alejandro Malaspina, which constitute the subject of my book: Lo bello en la Naturaleza (Madrid: CSIC, 2022).
My last coauthored book is Darwinismo e Racismo científico no Brasil (Darwinism and Scientific Racism in Brazil. Bahia: UEFS/EDUFBA, 2023)

RESUMO: Elencando como objetivo principal uma abordagem sobre a compreensão do processo histórico da construção do conceito de raça, a Exposição Ciência, Raça e Literatura configura-se como uma intervenção educativa construída colaborativamente por licenciandos em biologia e pesquisadores. Este trabalho objetiva analisar o potencial da exposição para promoção de uma educação das relações étnico-raciais. Para tanto, foi investigada a avaliação de professores e estudantes de dois cursos de licenciatura que visitaram a exposição, através de questionários abertos. Os resultados indicam que a exposição pode contribuir significativamente para educação das relações étnico-raciais, que justifica investimento em torná-la itinerante por um processo de remontagem colaborativa em outros contextos educativos.
Palavras-chave: Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais. Racismo Científico. Lei 10 639/03. 1
These are questions that the authors intend to discuss in order to motivate and support teachers from different areas of knowledge to develop an anti-racist education, according to the principles set out in laws 10.639/03 and 11.645/08, based on the history of scientific racism in Brazil.
The book was designed as a kind of paradidactic. With a friendly layout, it makes use of accessible language; they present short biographies of important characters, with illustrations of them and of institutions of knowledge in their historical time of operation; they point out guidelines on how certain historical episodes can be approached in the classroom, and present works and genres of Brazilian literature that disseminated or problematized the racial models of analysis of society, based on Darwinian evolutionism, between the 19th and 20th centuries.
Based on four historical episodes, we present the ways in which Darwinism was received, disseminated and recreated by Brazil's intellectual elite between 1870 and 1930, analyzing how this process was related to the main debates on the social and political problems in vogue in the period, and to the Brazilian elite's search for justifications and strategies to maintain social and racial hierarchies in the post-abolition period. The motivation for producing it was to offer bibliographic material and a paradidactic resource that would support the development of proposals for the education of ethnic-racial relations, based on the history of scientific racism. In addition to the historical narrative, sessions were inserted to propose conceptual deepening readings, point out possible approaches and aspects that can promote objectives of education of ethnic-racial relations and/or gender equity, and present literary works that can be studied in order to contextualize the historical study and scientific ideas with literature.
RESUMO: Qual a relação entre a adesão ao darwinismo por médicos, bacharéis de direito, antropólogos e literatos brasileiro entre 1870 e 1930 e o modo como a elite econômica e o estado lidaram com as massas de ex-escravizados no período pós-abolição? Qual a relação entre esses discursos e práticas e as tensas relações étnico-raciais e desigualdades sociais que até hoje enfrentamos no Brasil?
Essas são questões que os autores pretendem discutir de modo a motivar e apoiar professoras e professores de diferentes áreas de conhecimento a desenvolverem uma educação antirracista, segundo os princípios dispostos nas leis 10.639/03 e 11.645/08, tendo como base a história do racismo científico no Brasil.
O livro foi desenhado como uma espécie de paradidático. Com diagramação amigável, faz uso de linguagem acessível; apresentam curtas biografias de importantes personagens, com ilustrações dos mesmos e de instituições de saber em seu tempo histórico de atuação; apontam orientações de como determinados episódios históricos podem ser abordados em sala de aula, e apresentam obras e gêneros da literatura brasileira que divulgaram ou problematizaram os modelos raciais de análise da sociedade, pautados no evolucionismo darwinista, entre os séculos XIX e XX.
A partir de quatro episódios históricos são apresentados caminhos pelos quais o darwinismo foi recebido, divulgado e recriado pela elite intelectual do Brasil entre os anos de 1870 e 1930, analisando-se como esse processo esteve relacionado com os principais debates sobre os problemas sociais e políticos em voga no período, e com a busca da elite brasileira por justificativas e estratégias de manutenção das hierarquizações sociais e raciais no pós-abolição. A motivação para produzi-lo foi oferecer material bibliográfico e recurso paradidático que apoiassem o desenvolvimento de propostas de educação das relações étnico-raciais, a partir da história do racismo científico. Para além da narrativa histórica, foram inseridas sessões para propor leituras de aprofundamento conceitual, apontar possíveis abordagens e aspectos que podem promover objetivos de educação das relações étnico-raciais e/ou para equidade de gênero, e apresentar obras literárias que podem ser estudadas de modo a contextualizar o estudo histórico e das ideias científicas com a literatura.
Qualification: Outstanding, cum laude.
