Biologist, researcher and entrepreneur

Érika Gadelha

Science that connects. Ideas that become impact.

I bring universities, organizations and the market closer through clear communication, meaningful experiences and purpose-driven innovation.

Who Érika is

A biologist by training. A bridge by calling.

See my career

I started in Biology and never stayed in just one place. I worked in healthcare, in public environmental management, in the lab and in schools. Today I run Escrita com Ciência, which I co-founded, and I worked in 15 schools as a Local Innovation Agent for SEBRAE DF. In each of these places I learned the same thing: knowledge only makes an impact when someone can understand it and use it. That is what I bring to the stage.

Topics that spark conversations

Four conversations to bring to your audience.

Hover over or tap a topic to see what the audience takes home.

  • 01

    AI and education with a human perspective

    How to use artificial intelligence in schools and universities without losing what matters: those who learn, those who teach and the ethics in between.

    What the audience takes away

    • Simple criteria to decide when AI helps and when it gets in the way
    • Examples of use in teaching and academic writing
    • The ethical questions every institution needs to answer

    • A practical way to explain a project in a few minutes
    • How to adapt the same message to different audiences
    • The most common mistakes that drive partners and funders away

    Innovation and entrepreneurship

    The path from idea to lab to market, told by someone who founded a science-based company and brought innovation into schools.

    What the audience takes away

    • The real steps between a discovery and a product or service
    • How to recognize market value in research
    • Practical steps to build a culture of innovation in teams and schools

    Sustainability in practice

    Sustainability beyond speeches: social and environmental projects work when science, public management and the community work together.

    What the audience takes away

    • The difference between environmental action and greenwashing
    • How to involve the community from the start of a project
    • Lessons from years in public environmental management

How I can help

Four lines of work, one common thread: connecting.

From the stage to strategy, I step in where science needs to meet people, decisions and the market.
