Hello, my name is Mesías, I am from the city of Merida, Mexico, a region known for its intense temperatures but also renowned internationally for its delicious cuisine. I identify as a physicist delving into the understanding complex chemical phenomena. Having attained my PhD in 2021, science has profoundly shaped my life, enriching me not only with academic knowledge but also with valuable people, as it has afforded me the opportunity to meet individuals who have become colleagues, friends, and sources of admiration.
