We would like to congratulate all the students who received the prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This fellowship recognizes and supports students who have excelled in science, mathematics, technology or engineering (also known as STEM disciplines) and other fields of knowledge. Scholarship recipients receive a stipend of $34,000 per year to pursue graduate studies. The application is highly competitive and extensive, requiring several letters of recommendation, a personal essay and a research proposal with an intellectual merit section and a societal impact section.

Un concepto que se observa en diferentes campos del conocimiento es el de paradigma. Un paradigma establece lo que se asume como correcto o básico en una disciplina. Son estos axiomas los que nos ayudan a interpretar las cosas desde un punto de vista u otro. Existen paradigmas en áreas tan diversas como la economía, las artes, la sociología y las ciencias.
