Pilar Gil holds a PhD in Chemistry and a Master in Immunology from the University of Barcelona and a MLitt in Museum Studies from the University of St Andrews. She has authored books about scientists and their discoveries addressed to children and young adults.
Passionate about the sciences and the humanities, she has a particular interest in the history of science. Before settling down in Scotland, she spent most of her scientific career in the United States where she was an investigator in the fields of Signal Transduction, Transcriptional Regulation of the Immune System and the Biochemistry of Aging.
Pilar Gil works in the division of Special Collections at the University of St Andrews. Publications include co-edited books From Bench to Brand and Back: The Co-Shaping of Materials and Chemists in the Twentieth Century (2017) Domesticity in the Making of Modern Science (2016) For Better Or for Worse?: Collaborative Couples in the Sciences (2012),and The Public Image of Chemistry (2007). To promote history of science among the general public and secondary school teachers, she has founded Mémosciences asbl. She chairs the EuChemS Working Party on the History of Chemistry since 2013 and the Commission for the History of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences (IUHPST) since 2017. Graduated both in physics and history, she devoted her PhD to chemistry in the XVIIIth century Belgium.

Unless solutions are provided, we risk seeing many of the natural elements that make up the world around us run out or become unusable – whether because of limited supplies, their location in conflict areas, or our incapacity to fully recycle them. Element scarcity is intrinsically linked with discussions on the Circular Economy, more efficient recycling practices, innovative alternatives, consumer behaviour, and more besides. With some 10 million smartphones being discarded or replaced every month in the European Union alone, serious actions to tackle the challenges ahead are needed. Indeed, the phone you may be using right now to read this is made up of some 30 elements – over half of which may give cause for concern in the years to come because of increasing scarcity. The event is chaired by Member of the European Parliament Catherine Stihler.
