For Marta Wolff, insects are a window into understanding the ecosystems and nature that surround us. After 30 years dedicated to his study, the researcher describes himself as a passion rather than an expert.
The famous entomologist and researcher from the Entomology Institute of the University of Antioquia shows us some specimens from the most important collection of insects in Colombia and tells us about his important contribution to forensic medicine. By examining the endemic larvae of the country, he has managed to improve the understanding of cadaver fauna and its crucial role in estimating post-mortem time.
In addition, Dr. Wolff is a pioneer in basic research on diseases such as leishmaniasis and Chagas disease. Their contributions in these fields are essential to the development of species studies and treatments,
Marta tells us about the “feminine super power”: I think it’s amazing that nature gives us the ability to cope with many things at once, to assume and play many roles.
Her inspiring presence and outstanding achievements are a reminder that women can succeed in any discipline.
