New mural unites art and science

Taken from: www.nacion.com

A new mural in the National Center of Biotech Innovations (Cenibiot) was officially inaugurated last Tuesday morning.


The work of muralist Eduardo Torijano measures 160 square meters and presents images relating to biotechnology and science in general, from DNA to the Vitruvius Man and the cog as a symbol of the industry.


The Cenibiot is a laboratory where microorganisms and Costa Rican plants are investigated with diverse objectives. For example, they seek to improve the productive processes of an industry, and are on a mission to find new biofuels and better processes to get rid of organic waste.


The mural is located in the building Franklin Chang Díaz, where the old AID was located, in Pavas. The mural can be found in the north sector of the building.
