Each year, a great number of Puerto Rican scientists are distinguished with prestigious prizes and awards. In Puerto Rico, the United States and in many parts of the world, Puerto Rican scientific talent makes itself known. Being the only network of Puerto Rican scientists in the world, it is our job to celebrate the achievements and recognitions of the members of our community.

Thus, it is with great pleasure that we announce the re-activation of our "Cerebros Boricuas" (“Puerto Rican brains”) blog.

Our intention with this blog is to recognize the accomplishments of CienciaPR members.  Our goal: to promote and celebrate the Puerto Rican scientific talent, motivating current and future generations of scientists.

Thereby, we will be using this space to publish, at least once a month, brief notes about the achievements of our members. We will include in our blog primarily news about about highly competitive awards, scholarships, or prizes of national or international prestige.

Do you know any Puerto Rican brain that has been recognized recently and whose achievement meets these criteria? Contact us at cerebros@cienciapr.org to include it in our blog.
