I recently read the following story: 10 years girl discovers a supernova . Kathryn Aurora (an appropriate name) Gray became the person youngest to discover a supernova. Something that will make you doubt the will for life positively.
But Kathryn is not the only girl in bringing things to the science and understanding of our universe.
Maya Kaczorowski, a girl of 13 years, conducted an experiment very tasty. She wanted to know about headache causes an ice cream too fast. So I conducted an experiment in which basically instructed some children to eat ice cream quickly, and others who do so slowly. The result was yes, how fast you eat ice cream, influences the headaches, which pass within 10 seconds. Their study was published no less than the Brittish Medical Journal in 2002. Not bad for a girl of 13 years.
Jake Tyler Carstensen Kellet and discovered a fossil of a mastodon in Colorado. To go from curious explorers stumbled upon a part of mastodon tusk. The remains may be 50,000 to 150,000 years. The Colorado Museum expert says that mastodon fossils are rare in the state, and this is the best find of all. According to the article was to evaluate the possibility to dig deeper. Kellet and Carstensen do want to dig more, want to find all the mastodon!
Or how about Serena Fasano that at the age of 13 he discovered a protein in the yogurt that has the ability to kill the bacteria Escherechia coli, a bacterium very pesky.
stories which I found more information are the first two. And both found something very interesting, something that both stories share, which are key to these girls have discovered what they discovered. Parents. The féisbuc
shared a video of a talk in Google Talks Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson , a girl of science and science popularizer. In the video, he mentions that he is concerned about children in science, which he concerned are adults. Adults are those who say "Oh, the world will end in 2012," that children do not tell. Adults are those who say "read me my horoscope, tell me if I will find money tomorrow." Children do not read horoscopes. Children are perfectly happy to count the number 13. They are comfortable going under a ladder. If you see a black cat passing in front says "Hey, kitty, kitty," I want to fuss. Children are not the issue here. How right
Dr. Tyson.
The June 4, 2007, she Carolina Cruz Aranda read the following speech (Written by) in the Mexican Congress of Pediatrics in the WTC Mexico City.
"People today do not care about science, are more interested in football. Newspapers rarely have notes on science and radio and television almost never. Published only when something happens they can not hide, and when the moon was Neil Armstrong. Everyday displayed
football notes, player interviews and gossip to tell his life: that if Galilea Montijo was Cuauhtemoc Blanco's girlfriend ... but do not take into account that we are entitled to be well informed about science. And as we both know football so little and so poorly of our scientists embarrassed. This is the case of Guillermo Haro. Guillermo Haro, Mexican astronomer, discovered many comets and celestial bodies and do not even have a biography.

Guillermo Haro, Mexican astronomer, discovered many comets and celestial bodies and do not even have a biography.
I have visited nine major libraries and none have anything on him. Why give more support to the players that the scientists? Are they better people? Do you produce more wealth? Do we have more fun? I do not think, thanks to the scientists also have fun, they invented computers, iPods, simulators.
addition, except in some cases, football players make us look very bad world and our scientists, that no one supports. I'm sure Mexico is among the countries with some of the best scientists. Moreover, we do look good. Paralympic athletes are like that, without support, win medals.
Why not support an excellent education? We are entitled to it. Do any of you know Guillermo Haro? I guess very few. And no, not their fault: when our football team win games of little importance to the President congratulated them and interview them everywhere. When Guillermo Haro discovered several red and blue stars just congratulated other scientists ...
Thanks to science we heat food in a few seconds in the microwave, thanks to science our mothers spend their life washing diapers. These inventions are the result of space missions. For scientists our clothing is light and warm. They can read while the sun sets or hundreds of miles to see a football game.
Do you like color television? I never met a black and white and color television was invented by Guillermo González Camarena. Thanks to the Mexican scientists can better see the stars as they build the best lenses of astronomy.
A year ago the Institute of Astronomy, UNAM posted to the Canary Islands for a precision instrument that will be the world's largest observatory. It has nine lenses and 270 pieces ...
And watch stars should matter because we are, as Carl Sagan wrote, "stardust", hence we came. Developed countries like Germany, Japan and the United States spend a lot of scientific support. Mexico increasingly spend less, and despite this we have great scientists like Guillermo Haro, who lived and died a stranger.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Mario Molina was born in Mexico, but had to go to America. Unfortunately it is not the only case. Many young scientists do the same.
Could not our government invest more in education? We have the right to an education of excellence.
I am sorry that our government and our businesses to invest in football and we are so bad. It pains me to invest so little in science and be as good. We have the best university in Latin America according to the newspaper Time and increasingly fewer resources to give the UNAM. Why not support what already works? A country which does not invest in science and education will always be a poor country do we want a poor Mexico? Will we let our Mario Molina is going to other countries?
Poor Mexico our as "close" to the football and so far from science.
Very true what you say Carolina.
littered No children, garbage as horoscopes, astrology, superstitions, gods, saints, UFOs, all that we demerits as a species, and soon we credulous of any nonsense that comes before them, because yes, what we tell them as authority, take it very seriously .
is better to encourage curiosity, questions, although one does not know the answers to why there are libraries, the Internet, so the weapons. Let curious to why they are children, to discover.
Note: This scientific curiosity also applies to musical curiosity. Please believe me, ask Brian May, with a degree of doctor in astrophysics and apart is the guitarist for the legendary rock band Queen .

Edit to add the case of Emily Rose , which is the youngest person to publish in a journal, at 9 years, therapeutic touch. Chulada.
Thank Pereque.
