Javier Alba-Tercedor, an amazing 3D trip to the interior of insects

In a family with a tradition in medicine, everybody thought that he would follow it and would spend most of his time in an operation room. But he didn’t; Javier Alba-Tercedor chose biology and now is a professor of zoology at the University of Granada. He has just won his fourth prize at an European Congress in Belgium thanks to a 3D video that reveals the interior of a cicada. This video was obtained using the microtomography technique. In this field, he collaborates with researchers in Spain and around the world.
