In this episode of the Professor Adolfo Neto podcast, join me, Adolfo, as we sit down with Laura Castro.

Laura is a distinguished professor at Universidade da Coruña (UDC), Spain, and the chair of Cátedra CICAS, a collaborative project aimed at advancing Open Science through Software. She is involved in the BEAM (Erlang and Elixir) community and is a member of the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation.

During our conversation, Laura shares her journey into Erlang and Elixir, her role at the University of A Coruña, and her involvement in the BEAM community and the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation. We also delve into the topic of gender diversity in computing and Laura's thoughts on knowledge sharing within the field.

A big thank you to Laura for sharing her expertise with us.
