Como consecuencia de nuestro trabajo como cientificos ambientales generalmente vamos al campo con un grupo diverso de científicos. Algunos estudian la química del lugar, otros la geología, la microbiología, etc. Pero generalmetne cuando planeamos estas campañas de campo, pasamos meses de preparación y coordinación; son proyectos que se escriben en conjunto y que cada día, cada muestra, cada posibilidad ya esta bien calculada. 

Lo que hicimos en el Taller  del Deep Carbon Observatory Early Career Scientist, fue algo para mi impresionante.

Aunque su obra fue subestimada, Ana Roqué de Duprey legó uno de los textos más relevantes en la historia de la ciencia de principios del siglo XX en las Américas. Hoy, 90 años después de escribir la ‘Botánica antillana’, una investigación revela el valor del libro inédito.

Así comienza la crónica que el periodista, Eliván Martínez Mercado escribió como producto de su trabajo para el Centro de Periodismo Investigativo. Quedé fascinada desde la primera vez que Eliván compartió esta historia conmigo y cuando ustedes lean esta excelente pieza periodística, seguro sabrán el porqué.
