Time ago, there was a girl running freely along green hillsides and valleys. Since an early age, she was not afraid of animals, but, rather, intrigued by Nature.
Her name was…Heidi. Actually, no, I’m sorry to disappoint Johanna Spyri’s fans, but that’s a different story!
I’m referring to Cinzia Zuffada, Associate Chief Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena.
What I really find remarkable is that, as a grown-up, she still has sparkles in her eyes, while explaining to me her ongoing scientific research.
