Entrevista a Joaquín Valderrama en RNE


El programa «Punto de Enlace» de Radio Exterior de Radio Nacional de España se puso en contacto para contar con la colaboración de RAICEX, la Red de Asociaciones de Investigadores y Científicos Españoles en el Exterior para buscar voluntarios para una sección de Ciencia que iba a comenzar.

Desde SRAP, como parte de RAICEX, enseguida recibimos muestras de interés por parte de nuestros socios para presentar sus investigaciones. Cinco socios investigando activamente en centros de investigación Australianos fueron seleccionados.

En una de las entrevistas, Joaquín T. Valderrama Valenzuela nos cuenta cómo es la experiencia de investigar en los National Acoustic Laboratories (Sídney, Australia) sobre cómo mejorar la vida de las personas con dificultades auditivas. En esta entrevista aprendemos la importancia de cuidar de nuestros oídos y de protegerlos frente a fuentes de sonido altas, las cuales pueden dañar de manera irreversible nuestro sistema auditivo. Podéis escuchar la entrevista completa en el siguiente link:
