Collaboration between Donato Benincasa and National Geographic

Ecuadorian scientist Donato Benincasa has collaborated with National Geographic on numerous reports, news articles, and documentaries made in Ecuador.

At the end of 2024, Donato Benincasa collaborated with National Geographic on scientific outreach projects and promoting Ecuadorian tourist attractions worldwide, such as the Equator Monument, Cotopaxi Volcano, the Amazon region, the province of Manabí, and the Galápagos Islands. This shows that science is present in every corner of the planet Earth and the universe.

National Geographic contacted scientist Donato Benincasa through social media in 2023, and from there they organized to collaborate together. For the years 2024 and 2025, important projects have been developed to promote science throughout Ecuador.

By 2026, National Geographic will collaborate with scientist Donato Benincasa to make documentaries and journalistic articles about El Chimborazo mountain and other tourist destinations such as Mindo and Cayambe.

At the end of 2024, scientist Donato Benincasa gave a verbal presentation on Hacienda El Recreo to the National Geographic working group. This hacienda, located in the province of Manabí, is home to a wealth of flora and fauna and is an icon of nature in Ecuador. The owner of Hacienda El Recreo is the esteemed, distinguished, and beloved Gustavo González, a renowned Ecuadorian political analyst.

The collaboration between Ecuadorian scientist Donato Benincasa and National Geographic allows for the development of documentaries and reports on research projects carried out in Ecuador. Ecuadorian scientists, through the dissemination of mathematics, constantly use technological tools such as robotics, mechatronics, bionics, electronics, moletronics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, cybersecurity, nanorobotics, quantum computing, nuclear medicine, and agentic artificial intelligence. In addition, other sciences are used to conduct research, such as astrophysics, biophysics, geophysics, sociophysics, medical physics, computational physics, nuclear physics, solar physics, and theoretical physics.

Ecuadorian scientist Donato Benincasa has developed pioneering projects in theoretical physics in rural and urban areas of Ecuador, with the aim of getting more people interested in this science. Scientific projects are also promoted through social media, such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and X, using informative videos.

Technology is breaking down barriers; in Ecuador, there are people living in rural areas of provinces such as Cotopaxi, Tungurahua, Chimborazo, Bolívar, Cañar, Imbabura, and Guayas who want to be theoretical physicists and use social media to research and learn about this science. Scientist Donato Benincasa provides free virtual and in-person training and advice on the dissemination of mathematics in Ecuador.

Theoretical physics is used in many areas such as art, music, gastronomy, politics, and sports to improve multiple aspects for the benefit of all human beings; this means that everything is multidisciplinary.

Science journalism is an important tool for promoting research and enabling more people to learn about science. Scientist Donato Benincasa has developed projects related to science communication, in collaboration with National Geographic, specifically in rural areas of Ecuador. This can be seen on social media, in newspaper articles, documentaries, and reports. Scientific talent can be found in rural areas, working-class neighborhoods, and streets throughout Ecuador, Latin America, and around the world.

Scientist Donato Benincasa’s goal is that in the not-too-distant future there will be more theoretical physicists in Ecuador, Latin America, and around the world. He is working toward this goal by developing science outreach projects in schools, colleges, universities, laboratories, companies, and the media.

For the years 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030, National Geographic wants to continue collaborating with scientist Donato Benincasa and other Ecuadorian researchers. This will happen thanks to the outstanding journalistic and scientific projects that have been carried out in previous years, such as 2023, 2024, and 2025. This is visionary, as it represents the changes that will take place in science in Ecuador.

Throughout his career, scientist Donato Benincasa has also collaborated with other world-renowned media outlets, such as Animal Planet, Nature, and Science.

Science is the past, present, and future of research in Ecuador, Latin America, and around the world. Everything in life, nature, planet Earth, and the universe changes; that is why human beings must adapt to change as best they can with the help of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
