Receiving the Mención de Honor al Valor Científico in the Salón Azul del Congreso Nacional, 12 November 2025.

On 12 November 2025 I received a Mención de Honor al Valor Científico from the Comisión de Ciencia y Tecnología of the Argentine Senate. Thank you.

The ceremony was in the Salón Azul of the Congreso Nacional. Most of the time I was sitting there thinking that the other people had done work much heavier than mine. The full list is on the Senate’s site. Ergodic also wrote something about my part.

Senator Anabel Fernández Sagasti proposed my name. The diploma says:

por su destacada labor, que se distingue por combinar ciencia, ingeniería, seguridad informática, educación y comunidad, transformando investigación de frontera en soluciones concretas que fortalecen el desarrollo nacional

In English:

for his outstanding work combining science, engineering, information security, education, and community, transforming frontier research into concrete solutions that strengthen national development

Thank you to her. Also to Senator Silvina García Larraburu, president of the commission, and Senator Víctor Zimmermann, its vice president, who handed out the diplomas.

LambdaClass is not me. Ergodic is not me. They are groups of people who decided to spend their lives building things together. Most of them will never receive a diploma with their name on it.

The diploma has one name on it. That is not how any of this actually happened. If at some point you built something with me, this one is yours too. Gracias.

Written with an LLM in the loop, like everything here. The ideas and the mistakes are mine. More on how I write.
