My grandmother was a chemist. She worked at the Banting Institute in Toronto, and at 44 she died of stomach cancer. I never met my grandmother, but I carry on her name -- her exact name, Eva Vertes -- and I like to think I carry on her scientific passion, too.
A minha avó era química e trabalhava no Banting Institute em Toronto. Aos 44 anos, morreu de cancro de estômago. Nunca a conheci, mas tenho o nome dela — o mesmo nome, Eva Vertes — e gosto de pensar que também tenho a sua paixão científica.
