Research projects
We apply the scientific method on the basis of a series of rules and principles that reduce subjectivity
BIOMA members do research to try to understand the complex processes and interactions that occur in different environmental spheres. Without the realization of research projects, we would be forced to rely solely on intuition or the opinion of others to reach certain conclusions. This is why we apply the scientific method, which allows us to acquire new knowledge based on a series of rules and principles that reduce subjectivity.
