Thank you for putting an accountant's training and real political energy at the service of the public university, and for standing up publicly for UBA when its budget and mission were on the line.

Thank you for helping the world understand decoherence and how to correct the errors of quantum computers, and for keeping serious quantum science alive and growing in Argentina's public university.

Thank you for insisting that constitutions belong to deliberating citizens, especially the least powerful among them, and for scholarship that speaks as clearly in the classroom as in the public square.

Thank you for showing that operations research can schedule a nation's football leagues and improve real public services, and for leading Exactas with a mathematician's honesty.

Thank you for building feminist epistemology in Argentina and for the Observatory of Gender in Justice, which made the courts look at themselves with new eyes.

Thank you for pushing fluorescence microscopy past its limits so we can watch matter at the nanoscale, and for building bionanoscience of world rank from Buenos Aires.

Thank you for recovering the history of Argentine women, workers and dreamers, and for showing that rigorous history and feminist commitment strengthen each other.
