Con la alta criminalidad, el desempleo y el menú de controversias políticas del día, ¿a quién le podría importar un asuntito de científicos?

Hi there! 

Unfortunately I have no more funding to finish my graduate studies, so I have to search for a job so I can save what I need to finish my PhD. I’m wondering if anyone can help me in this search and contact me if there’s any opportunity for me that you know.

Attached is my most recent resume. 

Sincerely,

Jessenia Yaris Laguna Torres, BS

La incompetencia, que raya en lo insólito, demostrada por las autoridades de la Universidad de Puerto Rico (UPR) al atender los señalamientos de la National Science Foundation (NSF), entidad que financia muchas de las investigaciones científicas que se conducen en la UPR, además de provocar la pérdida de decenas de millones de dólares, ya ha causado daño irreversible al prestigio de la institución.
