Descripción
To travel down the memory lane with reference to the discovery of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and hence of the endocrine function of the heart is a slippery slope. It is so because it takes me down to my very young years during which, somehow, I had decided to be a research scientist. And now I realize that this had nothing to do with my education, family influences or role models. It was just that: one wants to be a scientist since very early in life and nobody, including you, knows exactly why. Call it a vocation. With that emotional package in hand I parted after completing my secondary education from my natal city of Parana, Entre Rios to Rosario, Santa Fe to study to become a clinical biochemist. Why biochemistry and not medicine? Because I somehow knew that biochemistry would provide a biomedical scientist with more basic tools that medicine would. How did I know that? I don't know. And here comes the part where the Providence really starts to show its hand.
