I grew up in a family with no academic training (not even a high school degree) but with parents who From Physics to Biophysics were determined to see their children go to college. Working in the UK was a unique opportunity for me I studied physics at the local university, which was, and I remember those years as perhaps the happiest just by chance, arguably the best in Spain in that of my life. It was only after I became faculty at the area at the time. I was inspired by University of California, Berkeley, my high school physics teacher, that I realized what I had missed by Ana Cañas, a remarkable woman: [M]y encounter being far from a university campus smart, dedicated, and with endless with Ken [Downing] where I could have taken the biology enthusiasm.
