Valeria Canto-Soler and I had the opportunity a couple of times to visit while down in her home country of Argentina at the ISER 2024 meeting in Buenos Aires. This portrait was made in the Confitería Ideal, an absolutely majestic café and restaurant that has been in continuous operation since 1912.
Valeria and I first met in Argentina way back in 2006, and it has been an absolute delight to watch her career as a postdoc with the wonderful Ruben Adler expand to where it is now, leading an ocular stem cell and regeneration research program.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon Val!
