AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Research Awards: Costa Rica’s 2026 Clodomiro Picado Twite Prizes went to seismologist Esteban Chávez Sibaja for the ASTUTI earthquake early-warning system and TEC researcher Teodolito Gilhyón Gilhyón for work on biocompatible materials for orthopedic implants. Biodiversity: UCR researchers found at least 56 bat species in the San Ramón region, nearly half of Costa Rica’s recorded total. Their findings highlight the value of small forest patches linking habitats, including for seed dispersal and insect control. Digital Security: The US and Chinese embassies traded warnings over Chinese-made cameras and other municipal technology, raising concerns about cybersecurity, data protection and reliance on a single supplier. Tech Business: OpenAI’s advertising partnership with Aleph now covers Costa Rica, giving local brands and agencies a way to buy ChatGPT ads with local billing and support.
