Martin Ezequiel Farina

I’m a paleontologist and a PhD candidate in Biological Sciences at the Instituto de Estudios Andinos "Don Pablo Groeber" (UBA-CONICET) in Argentina. My research focuses on fossil bird footprints preserved in extreme landscapes in Argentina. By studying these ancient tracks, I aim to reconstruct past ecosystems and better understand how they changed over time.

Beyond research, I’m also a passionate science communicator. I write for national media, appear on national TV, and teach in the Evolution area at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), as well as science communication at the University of Antofagasta (Chile). I believe in making science accessible, honest, and engaging—bringing knowledge closer to people who might not otherwise encounter it.

With this project, I hope to bring cutting-edge technology to fossil exploration in remote areas—and to share every step of that journey with those who are curious about how we uncover the natural history of our planet.
