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
