Post 7: An expert / person in your field that you admire

 

Hello again đź’“

Today I am going to talk about MarĂ­a Cecilia Hidalgo Tapia


She is a graduate in Biochemistry and the first Doctor in Sciences of the University of Chile. 

She was also a professor at our faculty, at the faculty of Medicine in our university and the Center for Scientific Studies.

She is director the FONDAP Center for Molecular Studies of the Cell and is also vice-president of the Advisory Council of FundaciĂłn Ciencia Joven.

Maria Hidalgo has more thaan 70 publications in international journals. She is at the present studying the molecular mechanisms that are activated by transient increases in intracellular calcium concentration in neurons and in skeletal and cardiac muscle.

Why do I admire her?

Because She was the first woman to obtain a Doctorate in Science.  She was awarded the Amanda Labarca Medal of Merit. In 2006 she was the first woman to receive the National Award in Natural Sciences. Because she proved that science is not only for men. And she is also an distinguished scientist.

Thanks for reading
