Enjoying Research from Canada to Argentina

Autor Christiane Dosne Pasqualini
en Limba Engleză Paperback
One often wonders how much of life is predetermined and how much is due to chance. Without a doubt, genes play a role in determining a vocation but the actual path we tread depends on subjective decisions and when chance steps in, we can make the most of it. By choosing between two possible paths -taking one and rejecting the other- destiny is forged. As I begin this the story of my life, I wish to emphasize how the different paths I have taken, have given me very particular satisfaction. I have always liked and enjoyed my life. My story covers a period of more than ninety years during which many important cultural and scientific changes have occurred. I have been both a spectator and a participant in the profound changes in the role of women in society and in science. Born in France, and raised in Canada, I eventually took up Argentine citizenship. As a result I was exposed to three well-defined cultures: French, English and Argentine. After falling in love with Argentina, I fell in love with an Argentine, Rodolfo Pasqualini whom I married. Together we raised five children who have given us great pleasure as well as seventeen grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. From a very early age, I knew that I had inherited a vocation for science from my father and grandfather. I have been doing full-time research in the biomedical field since I was nineteen years old. At first, I worked with Hans Selye, Alejandro Lipschutz, C.N.H. Long and Bernardo Houssay. After that, I continued to work in different types of research as a member of the Research career of the Argentine National Research Council (CONICET) and I finally became an Emeritus Investigator. I have trained many students, some of whom went on to occupy important positions in Argentina and abroad. I am the first woman to occupy a permanent chair in the National Academy of Medicine and it took sixteen years to elect a second woman. I have led a double life, one of which is my family and the other my research. Both are priorities for me. I am now ninety three years old and I still hold the fort. I continue to enjoy my work, my children, my grandchildren and my friends. The culmination of a good life, so why not tell the story?"
