One day I felt certain that for me the science and art combined in disclosure. That day I chose to work as a journalist and science writer.
A little over a year Newton was born Tangerine as a blog. Its origin was in blogspot .
In 2010, tangerine moved to Wordpress and its timid beginnings are transformed into a business venture.
The Tangerine Newton is a project that combines science and technology with any other discipline, to create activities, exhibitions, meetings, and educational playthings. You can find more information on the web or follow each month on the podcast of science in Catalan of the Irene Newton Tangerine Tomàs Lapuente and Manzanares.
