I am thrilled to let you know that have recently appointed as a Member of the Argentinian National Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences.
A good colleague and friend asked me to provide materials for the nomination (you know who you are... thank you!), and even I knew I was going to be nominated, receiving the letter with the appointment was a wonderful surprise and a moment of immense joy.
I humbly thank the Academy, my nominator, and the committee. Above all, I thank the students I have/had the privilege of supervising, for it is their talent, dedication, and achievements that truly deserve this unexpected honor.
As a Corresponding Member in Canada, I will try to represent our incredible country and its unique community of researchers. I hope to do justice to their achievements, the lessons they have shared with me, and the enduring tradition of public education and research that defines science in the Republic of Argentina.
Thanks!
