 There are many famous Spanish-American scientists in the world who have made a very difference in the world. Out of all those Spanish-Americans I picked 2. Their names, you ask? Fabiola Cabeza De Baca Gilbert and Severo Ochoa. Who should I start with? Well, it's ladies first. Let's look into the fabulous world of the famous nutritionist, organizer and author, Fabiola Cabeza de Baca.

 Fabiola was born on May 16 1894 by her parents Indalecia Delgado and Graciano Cabeza de Baca Gilbert. She was born in Las Vegas, New Mexico on her family's ranch. When Fabiola was only four years old when her mother passed away and she was raised by her grandmother ever since, with her siblings. She grew up speaking Spanish, English and Tiwa and Tewa. The last two were 2 Pueblo dialects. As she got older she became very kind and very smart. In 1906 she spent a year in Spain studying Spanish and history. Fabiola later attended Loretto Academy were she got expelled for slapping a nun. The school was a catholic school. Then she began to attend Highlands University. She got her teaching degree the same time she graduated High lands University. Later she began teaching at a One-room school not too far from her home, the family ranch.

 As her life went on she became more mature. In 1921 she began a 30 year career as an extension agent, during The Great Depression. It was a bit difficult since none of the other agents spoke Spanish, but she managed. A couple years later she married Carlos Gilbert in 1931.The year after they got married a very tragic incident occurred. Fabiola injured her leg in a train accident. She didn't let that stop her, though. The year after they vowed to spend their entire lives together they broke it. They got a divorce in 1941.In between most of these events she wrote books. Her books were about New Mexican traditions. She wrote “Historic Cookory” in 1931, “We Fed Them Cactus” in 1954, and “The Good Life” in 1982.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Sadly Fabiola Cabeza de baca Gilbert died in October 14,1991 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She spent the rest of her life in an elderly home in Albuquerque. Today she is remembered as the “First lady”of New Mexican cuisines. The reason I chose Fabiola was because she believed that she could change things by writing and talking to people about New Mexico. With her persistence I believed she was a hero who changed peoples points of view. She was a true scientist and hero.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Next up is Severo Ochoa the Spanish-American who was a famous biochemist.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Severo was born on September 24, 1905 in Luarca, Spain. He was named after his father, Severo Ochoa. His mother was named Carmen de Albornoz. His father was a lawyer and business man. Sadly his father passed away when Severo was only at the age of seven. Due to his father's death .Severo and his mother had to move to Malaga where Severo attended Elementary school all the way to High school. Severo was educated at a Jesuit school there, in Malaga. A few years later he attended the University of Madrid. He graduated in 1929 were he was received his medical degree. After his graduation he decided to continue studying. He departed for Germany doing research with, his partner, Otto Meyerhof. He studied in Germany for 2 years. In the early 1930's Severo came back to Spain. When he came back he started working at the University of Madrid as part of the faculty. In 1931 he became the husband of Carmen Cobian. In Even with his wife, he devoted most of his life to the energetics and chemistry of muscle contraction.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> In 1932 Severo started to attend National Institute for Medical Research, in London. He discovered many things there, like, antiglyoxalase effect of pancreatic extracts and their influence on the glycolysis of muscle extracts. He was also involved in research in photosynthesis. He uncovered spinach grana have the talent to reduce NAD and NADP under the influence of light .Around 1956 Severo became an American citizen. In 1959 something he is very well known for occurred. Severo was awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering an enzyme that enables the synthesis of RNA. Later on in 1979 he was rewarded the national medal of science.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Sadly Severo died on November 1, 1993 in Madrid, Spain. He died due to pneumonia. I did my report on two amazing people. This is why I chose him. He is amazing. Trust me.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> In conclusion Fabiola Cabeza de Baca Gilbert and Severo Ochoa were very amazing Spanish-Americans Severo, a biochemist and Fabiola, a nutritionist, organizer, and author changed our minds and thWO
