Reference excerpt

Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya is a Colombian biologist and parasitologist, recipient of the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science grant in 2001 for her research on the application of molecular techniques in the field of infectious diseases.

Education Chaparro Olaya completed all of her professional development education at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia Sede Bogotá (The National University of Colombia at Bogota). She achieved the title of biologist in 1992. Between 1994 and 1997 she completed her master's degree in science with a focus on biochemistry, and between 2000 and 2006 she completed a doctorate in the sciences with a focus on chemistry. She fulfilled other complementary studies in other institutions such as The United Nations University, The International Atomic Energy Agency, Tulane University, and King’s College of London.

Career Chaparro began research at the National Institute of Health in 1993 and was supported by the institution until 2004. During her time there, she worked as a coordinator of the biologist research group. She also has research ties to El Bosque University, where she acted as the director of The Molecular Parasitology Lab as well director of the Molecular Biology Institute. Throughout her career she has worked to study the application of molecular techniques through the integration of various fields of biological research pertaining to the study of infectious diseases, molecular motors in the Apicoplexa phylum of parasitic alveolates and the cellular and molecular biology of the protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia. Through her notable work in research, Chaparro has received numerous awards and recognitions in regard to her notable achievements, some of the most prominent achievements including receiving a grant from the L'Oréal-UNESCO Awards for Women in Science program in 2001, a research grant awarded by the Wellcome Trust in 2002, a National Award in the field of General Medical Sciences in 2005 as well as another National Award in 2008 accredited to the best research work done in General Sciences, amongst others. She has published around twenty articles in scientific magazines specifically in her home country as well as internationally, and has collaborated on a chapter of the book, Las miosinas de Plasmodium falciparum, or The myosins of Plasmodium Falciparum.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya

In research: Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century Colombian biologists, 21st-century Colombian women scientists, Colombian women biologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jacqueline Chaparro Olaya outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
