Hi, I’m María
I’m a veterinary scientist and
I’m in love with a fish.

I know people fall in love with their partner, with football, and even with their dog.
Well, I fell in love with a fish.
But this little fish is something special.
By the way, his name is Danio, Danio rerio.
He lays transparent eggs, and through them you can watch life develop in real time. His first movements, the first beats of his heart…
You don’t imagine it. You don’t read about it in a book.
You see it.
Live.
One day, I decided to take him into classrooms, and something magical happened: children, their teachers and their parents ALSO fell in love with Danio.
And I realised that when they learn like this, with that kind of EMOTION,
they never forget it.

"My beloved and admirable María. You don't know how much I love reading you. Almost all of your newsletters I have marked with a star. Because they are important, funny (like today's), interesting, very interesting :) (like today's). I know that you always have a content that I need or that makes me a better person or that leaves me with my mouth open (like the fish book or the one about dogs' smell) ;) Other newsletters I'm deleting them one at a time. But yours... I can't... Even if I have a lot of them :) I should have read them all at once. I love and admire you from El Salvador. Hugs"
"Good evening, Txus I already bought this learning situation some time ago, which I am starting to put into practice this quarter with my students. And I must say, they are loving it and I, I love it!!!! Thank you very much for making me enjoy science like this".

"We are right now enjoying the big living room of your tent settled in a campsite lost somewhere in the south of France, singing and drawing relaxed when I see your email. I have to say that it makes my hair stand on end when I read it. Thank you so much for transmitting so well this essential message. I hope that many will read it, that many will become aware of it and that some will be concerned enough to do something, even if it is only one person. Keep it up, we need more people like you in this world!"
***
"Congratulations on your work, it's amazing what you do. I'm sure that any story you write will "hook" us. We can't wait to read them!"
***
"I love the way you write your texts, because they make you very enjoyable to read them, with those touches of "humor" They are great!

"I'm a little embarrassed to write to you, but I had to thank you for your contribution to my work in some way. I read you from Bermeo. I read your stories because they are fresh, with science simply explained and with flair, contents that are in our life today, without complicated sentences. I find them curious and in this way, with little pills, I learn. I especially like the ones from this last season (viruses, vaccines and science).
I work in secondary school with students with functional diversity and, as they are also curious, I use your news for our work. I assure you that they find them much more interesting and entertaining than the ones I find in textbooks. Well, thank you very much! "
