All “Quèquicom” TV programs with Pere Renom.
Connected to the horses
The most extravagant domestication that humans have carried out is undoubtedly that of the horse. Instead of establishing a relationship based on food (broadly speaking), we did it in pursuit of enjoyment. With them we maintain a special connection. We will know the cases of different people who have connected to horses: to train them […]

Alcohol, a dangerous molecule
The ancient Greeks were very fond of social celebrations, and called them “symposia,” which literally means “to drink together”.

Insects that give us wings
Although insects generally produce rejection and we associate them with annoying or harmful bugs, they are really fundamental animals for the planet since they pollinate most flowers (including our crops), eliminate manure and corpses, they are key in many trophic chains and could even serve as food.

Nitrogen till the root
Nitrogen is an essential element for life, but since its availability is limited it must be recycled. The most important compartment on the planet where it accumulates is the atmosphere (N2). Hence, special bacteria introduce it into the biosphere through a process called fixation. Once there, it is transferred through the food chain from vegetables […]

Modeled by hormones
Everything we are is inscribed in our genes, but its main route of expression are hormones. We grow up to a certain size, we differentiate ourselves in men and women and we regulate the body’s temperature or energy through hormones. If the genes are the project, the hormones are the hands of the sculptor. The […]

What determines the taste of water? To find out we will make a simple scientific study. We will sample waters from different origins and we will […]
Tractors, from the mule to the microchip
