The speakers were biologist Ibon Cancio, genetic Koldo Garcia, mathematician Ines Garmendia, professor Josu Lezameta, chemist Josu Lopez-Gazpio, sociologist Uxune Martinez and journalists Amaia Portugal and Idoia Torregarai, who have treated genetics to sex all kinds of topics.

In the end, Alaitz Ochoa de Eribe, head of the portal Zientzia.eus, presented the section Scientific blogs. Zientzia.eus is Elhuyar's scientific project portal, and now, through the Zientzia blogak section, it has opened a window for bloggers who create scientific content in Basque.

In the Scientific Blogs section, bloggers have the opportunity to add their blog. In this way, they make available to those who seek information and entertainment on scientific topics. In fact, some of the speakers already publish their articles or audiovisuals through Zientzia.net in the section Scientific blogs.

Among the attendees, in addition to the friends of Elhuyar and his relatives, there have been numerous Bergareses. In the end they met with the speakers in a pleasant atmosphere around the table. It should be noted that Elhuyar has received the collaboration of the City of Bergara and the Laboratorium Museum for the celebration of the event.
