Yes, sometimes there are news to make us proud:
–The Boston Globe profiles Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel and indirectly the wonderful otrchestra program of Jose Antonio Abreu, which proves you can make programs and policies for everyone.(Thanks M.)
–The New York Times profiles Charles Brewer Carias, an old fashioned explorer in the XXIst. Century. (He was my dentist when I was young)
–Venezuela Johan Santana will likely win the Amercan League’s Cy Young Award.
–For the first time in history, a woman scientist, micologist Gioconda Cunto de San Blas, will occupy one of the numbered seats at the Venezuelan Academy of Sciences. Well deserved and about time it happened.
