About Hugo Guillermo

First class free.

I am a Chilean-Italian biologist, with a PhD in Biology from Imperial College of the University of London who has worked in 17 different institutions in 11 different countries in America, Europe, and China.

I think we all deserve to live and be happy, we all deserve respect, not only people of different sex, religion, nationality, race, but all living beings on the planet: earth birds, mammals, plants or a tiny microbe. Personally, I like talking with friends, reading, traveling everywhere, think the unthinkable and especially love. I believe in love, that love changes the world and people. I believe in solidarity with other human beings and clear solidarity with other living beings.

I like read a good book, talk, watch a movie that makes me think, going to the theater, listening classical music concert, travel and experience other cultures, caring for animals, be lost in the jungle, talking with friend of Aboriginal ethnicity, see my children, get drunk, in fact I could be writing here for ever, but I shall speak here about my teacher and reserach experience in order you like to speak, learn with me.

Over the past 25 years, I have been involved in thirteen internationals research projects. From 1982-1990, he worked as research assistant at Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain, studying the evolution and ecological speciation of cathopihlic Martensis cluster of Drosophila where, he describes the ecology of this Drosophila group. From 1990-1999, the GF fellow was a researcher at Simon Bolivar and Simon Rodriguez Universities, Venezuela, working on aggregation pheromone of the palm weevil insect pest Rhynchophorus palmarum, the insects pests weevils M. hemipterus, C. sordidus and on Amazonian invertebrates utilized as food by Ye’Kuana Amerindians of the Alto Orinoco. I works in the chemical ecology of those insect pest and tested in the field the aggregation pheromone, Rhynchoporol. During 2000-2004 I studied the evolution of resistance to Bt crops of Plutella xylostella (DBM) at Imperial College London University, producing the only GMO resistance evolution simulation of DBM outside USA. From 2005 to 2011, I studied the ecology and conservation of American tiger jaguar (Panthera onca), funded by Polish Academy of Science and the Panthera Foundation (USA), mapping the tiger distribution in northern South America. Since 2012, I studied the evolutionary relationships and geographical patterns of genetically varied populations of the diamondback moth, P. xylostella (l.) (DBM), funded by Natural Science Foundation of China – International program, and the Jinshan Scholar program of Fujian Province, China. Also, he was a Level 1 “Prometeo” Researcher in Ecuador and a Highly Qualified Professor at Dominican Republic. In Ecuador, I worked as coordinator of new botanical insecticides Amazonian prospection project.

I have done teaching or research in general biology, biodiversity, ecology, and/or evolutionary biology, in countries with varied cultures and academic systems. For example, I taught molecular biology, ecology, and biostatistics at the Polytechnic Superior School of Chimborazo (Ecuador), within the teaching program of Engineering in Environmental Biotechnology and Biophysics, at the National University of Chimborazo (years 2016, 2017); I taught Environmental Microbiology, Chemistry General and Organic Chemistry within the environmental engineering teaching program (years 2018, 2019), in the last third of 2019 I taught botany, advanced biology and general biology at Higher Institute of Teacher Training Salome Ureña (ISFODOSU) at the Dominican Republic. For the last two years, I have been Director of Advanced Education of the Simón de Mucuchíes campus of the Simón Rodríguez National University of Venezuela, a university campus located in the Venezuelan Andean highlands, poor in resources, geographically isolated, in a country with socio-economic problems.

I believe that love and passion can ignite the spark of excitement in students. I mean love in a moral, philosophical, or theological sense; love for the human being, for the biosphere, for the universe, and for life itself. A love that is hope at the same time. And the teacher must be the first enthusiastic believer that this is the basis of teaching and the teaching-learning process. For example, I am as passionate about the content I teach as I am about the way I teach it. And I can change contents and teaching strategies from one day to the next and sometimes hours before sharing them, depending on the reality in which I perceive the attitude and interest of my students.

The emotion that the teacher communicates, the enthusiasm and energy that he shows for the content and the students' learning, awakens the students to ideas old and new and ignites their desire for learning in unexpected ways. The mind's ability to learn is a process linked with emotion, love, and curiosity only to the extent in which the teacher arouses that emotion, love, and curiosity on what is taught.

I also encourage research and intellectual curiosity. A professor can make a difference by transforming a student's college learning experience. I focus on being the teacher who will make a difference for my students, the ones who will never forget my teachings. I strive to inspire them to keep going by encouraging them to learn for themselves, taking what they learn in class beyond the classroom, and sharing it with their peers, their families, and their communities; I want them wanting to learn more, and themselves wanting to teach what they have learned to others.

For example, when I taught the molecular structure of volatile organic acids in my Organic Chemistry course within the Environmental Engineering degree at the National University of Chimborazo in Ecuador, I taught them that the smell of French cheeses like Roquefort were volatile organic compounds, but in different proportions than the ones that create foot odor (some are unique to each individual). Then we had a reunion where we brought and smelled different cheeses. The experience was interesting and solidified the content studied in class; it also fostered curiosity and a sense of purpose.

As a teacher, another important goal is to create an attractive, loving, and supportive learning environment in which my students acquire knowledge through critical and free-thinking, and develop their communication and interpersonal skills, while at the same time awakening in them a passion for their own, for what they are learning.

I also want to emphasize that in the teaching and learning process, the teacher is only a facilitator. The teacher needs to convey the importance of research and discovery and allow students to learn by doing. I consider experiments and labs in our science to be very important: the observation of nature, going to the field, observing through a microscope. I want this experience to belong to each and every student, and in turn also to society itself; since from these experiences is where we find solutions to some of humanity’s problems. Our work, teach an learn is one of the most important and vital think to do for the preservation of life on earth.
