La ciencia abre futuros brillantes | Margaret Domínguez | TEDxMexicoCityWomen


for

[Applause]

it’s an honor for me to be here and be able

share it is a bit of history

I want to start by raising the one

question that perhaps you do not anticipate

the answer was in the race better

paid in Mexico and perhaps prayer

initial would be that of a surgeon has

remained a lawyer

maybe an administrator but the

Mexican Institute of Competitiveness

a few years ago and his study in

career best paid in Mexico came the

of a NASA scientist expected

two of the three highest paid races

in Mexico they are physics and chemistry

the inei and together with him with so he made a

survey in 2011 and interviewed

many scientists in mexico to know

what was your salary is between 12 thousand and

120 thousand pesos per month

work depends on different factors but

they asked the scientists

How do you feel about your salary?

feel satisfied you like what you do

and the Mexican scientist is very

satisfied with what he earns

obviously and other countries with the salary

higher but the cost of living

it’s also higher in the country is a

scenario will be lower than the cost of

life is going to be lower in general the

Mexican scientist is very satisfied

with what he is doing and is doing

an excellent job but why is it

important and who am I to tell them

that has found a little bit of me

originally from tecamachalco puebla where

the most comfortable in tecka is the ex

Franciscan convent where they got married

this country

I grew up on a pig farm and it ‘s

winning one of the nicest

I had had a few years ago and when

the time came in tecka in this

small municipality of the state of puebla

to decide what I want to do

when he finished high school that I am

first bridge talking about puellés and it happened

from tecamachalco puebla to the capital

can by a very small bridge and

Between the University of the Americas

People study physics and I am very

lucky because when I told my

soup that are here accompanied as

always

[Applause]

When I arrived I said I want to study

physical

his reaction was not a daughter studies another

which leaves you more, not that of the future

that they pay you more

their reaction of forces and that they

they did not know that today is one of the best

paid careers in the country

his reaction was that is what you want

doing that is important and will have

future forward ended just

graduated in physics and I want to continue

studying because I love that already

then crossed another bridge a little more

great and very puebla puebla applied the

Arizona university they do not accept

with full scholarship and I’m leaving Puebla

tucson arizona start studying the

doctorate master’s goal program

then I go I started to study the

expertise already living in Tucson Arizona and

I’ve been collaborating with the

nasa and in 2014 they tell me nothing we want

stop to work full time

then crossed another bridge and I’m leaving

tucson arizona know they are found

living and working today the nasa

and that’s where I am engineer optical my

mastery in optical sciences and my

doctor that I’m about to finish

master in optical sciences that this thing

optics

Normally when I tell people

you comes to mind when I say the

optical word

the actions are very diverse but

some people tell me maybe

It has to do with the eye not to me

they say pesticides with real lasers

medicines and the most as abused fiber

optics has the word optics and also

it’s valid I have not done anything I’ve ever

said that it has to do with rainbow and

it would be my dream I have nothing is asked

what does the ocde have to the rainbow

nobody has ever told me that every time

but the truth is that the rainbow is a

natural phenomenon has explained by the

physics and optics within physics

that studies the light and the interaction that

has light with everything that surrounds us

explains the rainbows

but optics is that and much more the

scholarship is responsible for designing and doing

different optical systems such as

cameras or popular telescopes

microscopes lenses of all here

we have an optical system

smartphone those cameras that we

We use it daily to take pictures of

everything was designed by an engineer

optics and they were made thanks to props

of optical engineers nasa optics is

extremely important the department that

in the center of the nasa where I already

finds working that ten different

centers of the nasa

the child is called home what itches is the

biggest department that we have there

because every system that we send to

space has an optical system and

so here I find myself using that

toquecito kenya we call banicevich in

Spanish rabbit costume sounds like

very thank you in name and for that curious

because that transit is there for

protect the instrument at that time

he was lining up with telescope and

we started many years ago

that the different accounts

pollutants in the operation

of the instruments that we launch

space and the greatest source of

contamination for any instrument

We are why we humans by

What then are the partners because when

we speak spit because we sweat because

our hair falls out because the cells of

the skin are regenerating

constantly and all that seemed

something tiny is a very large font

pollution for any

instrument that we throw into space

here I find myself having another system

optical that is in fact part of my thesis

doctoral and it’s an instrument that I’m going to

put a telescope that I’m going to throw at

space in a few years to study

our universe problems you have

[Applause]

we had to come in this universe is

formed 95 percent this thing

what we call energy and dark matter

in fact it’s very funny because the group

of scientists who named it

Dark

this way he pulls because he said

it’s like something here because we do not know

that we can not measure it, not what

we can see does not interact with anything

we know that it exists because if not

mathematically in this universe not

would make sense but then not only as

john fucks ass and put the name on him

hit but that is justified that 95 per

hundred of your universe is formed by

this dark thing means that I

you our country our planet

our moon our sun

our solar system our galaxy the

Milky Way

the rest of the galaxies that we can see

and all that we see in the

night that seemed like infinite

all that is only 5 percent of

our universe

the rest is this dark thing that does not

we know what it is and how humans

curious is that we are we want to know not

we are always in search of the

next question the next

answer and that’s why NASA has worked

with different international entities

to send different telescopes to

space like the space telescope

hubble that has been one of the

most revolutionary instruments in the

history of humanity that has taken

beautiful photographs for example this

elliptical galaxy of this formation of

stars

we are about to launch another

telescope in two years the telescope

space james webb

we have never thrown something so

big something so cold something so far and

we are going to have to overcome all these

challenges simultaneously to be able

continue to explore them universe

Now I’m working on this

telescope as part of my thesis

doctoral

the infrared space telescope of

wide field of vision or in English of

neighbors tommy franks thorn birds that we

will try to explain what this thing is

of dark energy that there but also

will try to explain that they are

exoplanets are planets similar to

bush where there might be life

similar to ours as the question

that we always do as more

curious that assange

we are alone in this universe there is life

beyond and as you see this measure will be

as we have in the head

maybe somewhere else but because

this is important because they have a

projection of how many employees we are going to

have to hire in the field of

Science technology in English is called

nostián saenz peña valley schlesselman and

then we see that the last

decade

we project how many employees and we are going to

have to hire in the steam field

and they were projected to be almost the

demand will grow almost 8 percent

unlike how the

demand in a field outside are out

of science and technology

the demand usually offers less than 3% in

this decade we project that the demand

the people in science technology and offer

almost 20 percent unlike the

demand for other fields out of their

headquarters in energy

everything was going to grow less than 10 per

percent know that the next decade

we will be hiring individuals

concept type of specialty and that

we are going to have and that the demand is going to

grow in different occupations a 14

percent in all areas

however if they are going to give specific

engineering science medicine

thematic

all those tasks the demand is going to grow

much more what all this means

it means a spectacular demand for

hire future scientists and

engineers

we know that they are the best races

paid in the country and the same is true

for the united states and other parts of the

world

now we have a problem we do not have

enough future scientists and

engineers men and women simply

there are none

and then I invite you to join me

let’s cross another source and help me

recruit more future scientists

engineers the demand there is pay

exists and we need them

the questions exist 95 percent

in your universe that we do not know what

it is there we have all these things that

there are and not enough individuals who

they satisfy the demand

I invite you to the next time

listen when someone says that I

I want to be a nafin engineer

that has a future

there are options and you can do things

extraordinary because only together

we can continue exploring the universe

thank you
