1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world.


I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

El desconocimiento del principal periódico de Asturias de la labor de la Universidad de Oviedo, el desprecio por su actividad, el calificarla de retrógrada, ineficiente, irrelevante por puro interés económico, que no académico, da vergüenza. El editorial de hoy es indigno.

Este editorial sobre el desembarco de universidades privadas en Asturias muestra claramente el nivel de ignorancia sobre lo que es es y supone la enseñanza superior universitaria, sobre lo que la Universidad aporta a la sociedad y, en general, sobre los problemas del pais.
