My name is Paula, and I am a young research group leader based in Argentina. Since the age of five, I dreamed of becoming a scientist, and with great effort and determination, I achieved that goal, becoming the first woman in my family to pursue a university career and work on it.
I am not only a researcher but also a university lecturer, a mother of two young children, and a passionate advocate for science communication. I find bacteria utterly fascinating—understanding how they adapt to their environments and interact with other organisms, whether beneficially or harmfully and this is the heart of my projects.
