Story about an expert

 

Hello, I'm here to tell you about Rachel Carson. She was born in 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania. She lived on a farm with her family, where she studied zoology and genetics but was unable to finish her studies due to various difficulties such as the death of her father, so she eventually went to work for the Fisheries Service, where she wrote educational scripts for a radio program called "Romance Under the Waters". Finally she began her career as a marine biologist and writer at the same time.

She wrote texts and summaries for brochures that reached professionals in the sector and the general public. One of the texts that I liked most about her and for which I admire her was about the promotion of seafood, talking about the eating habits of North Americans and how they are replacing classic foods with new ones due to the difficulties of supply caused by World War II.

Then sadly his sister passed away, taking care of his mother and nieces. Then she decides to quit her job and to dedicate herself completely as a writer, where she also writes about various books related to the sea, for example, one of them is called "Silent Spring". I like this book because it talks about DDT, this is a pesticide that in those times was used to control insects in agricultural crops and insects carrying diseases such as malaria in mosquitoes, but what this scientist focuses on is the damage that DDT can produce in harmless species causing toxicity and subsequently the extinction of these species. 

I wanted to add that I also like this scientist for the courage she had to face such difficult situations as that of her family and still go ahead and succeed professionally, helping the public about eating habits in times as scarce of food and as difficult as the World War.
