Through a participatory, sensory-based approach, the researchers invited students to discover how texture shapes the experience of eating and to understand, from a scientific perspective, the difficulties that can arise when swallowing is not a simple act.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The SALBIS Research Group would like to thank Pilar Bardelas and IES Gil y Carrasco for their warm welcome and their ongoing support for the group\u2019s activities. This long-standing collaboration reflects a shared commitment between the university and schools to bring research in health and nutrition closer to younger generations, and it strengthens SALBIS\u2019s work in science communication and knowledge transfer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Natalia-Calvo-Ayuso-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Natalia-Calvo-Ayuso-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Natalia-Calvo-Ayuso-1024x769.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Natalia-Calvo-Ayuso-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Natalia-Calvo-Ayuso-1536x1153.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Natalia-Calvo-Ayuso-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Natalia-Calvo-Ayuso.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Gema-Serrano-Gemes-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Gema-Serrano-Gemes-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Gema-Serrano-Gemes-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Gema-Serrano-Gemes-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Gema-Serrano-Gemes-1536x1153.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Gema-Serrano-Gemes.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday 12 November, researchers from the SALBIS Research Group, N\u00e9stor Serrano Fuentes, Natalia Calvo Ayuso and Gema Serrano Gemes, took part in the Castilla y Le\u00f3n Science Week with the outreach activity \u2018The Science of Every Bite: A World of Textures\u2019, held at IES Gil y Carrasco secondary school in Ponferrada from 1:20 to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":9276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-divulgation"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9XXcd-2px","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Nestor-Serrano-Fuentes.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9271"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9278,"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9271\/revisions\/9278"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salbis.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
