I am fascinated by our world, and I want to understand and know as much as possible. It is a real privilege to collaborate and learn from the experiences and collective work of all scientists while contributing a grain of salt to that pile of knowledge. I like to think of myself not as a professor but as a lifelong, eternal student.
Hispanic Heritage Month makes me think of the complexities of our history and society, and how much healing work remains to be done.
