On 1st December, Vanda Brotas launched a Portuguese children’s book The girl who could see the sea with different colours which aims to call the attention of 8-11 years old to the role of phytoplankton in the marine ecosystem and the way Earth Observation satellites work. The book is published by Gradiva and sponsored by Ciência Viva which is the major Portuguese Governmental Agency in Science Communication and Outreach. And the book has now been translated to english.
