Essay:
There are many Hispanic scientist in the world that have made an impact on technology and science. There are also many other people that gear their life to a different occupation but scientists complete things for the good to change the world. Dr. Alejandro Acevedo, a marine biologist from Mexico was a particular scientist that made an impact on Hispanic science and technology. Other Hispanics have lots to do in the field of science and technology, and Alejandro Acevedo was one of them!

Acevedo was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. In 2000 the IMAX film, Dolphins was released and, Acevedo was the scientist in the movie. He was the marine biologist that cared for the dolphins. In 2001 Acevedo won the scientist of the year award at MOSI ( Museum of Science Industries ) in Tampa. (Hispanic scientist of the year award). More about the award, it recognized the spectacular accomplish. Acevedo was also motivated because he was a young scientist. Also he had a passion for marine science and dedicated himself for his work. Acevedo was also a member of the mission for filming dolphins. ( Alejandro's Page ). Acevedo has always been fascinated in marine life and ever since he was younger he always wanted to have a closer encounter with biologist and now he is one. Acevedo says "I remember wishing that I could meet those scientists--a close encounter rather than a distant one. I credit such experiences as important in shaping my goals in life. I know that many children will be deeply touched by this film, and some, like me, will make science their career." ( Alejandro's Page ).

Acevedo and his crew of scientist had a mission in the film to explain dolphins and why they need help and how they comnunicate with eachother foryhe help they need. This mission was for the good and it helps our marine life and the oceans so they can be healthy and inhabits the dolphins, this is one way that Acevedo can help. This is how Acevedo helped by showing the dolphins the teachings and tricks they needed to get the self efficiency to swim on their own. Acevedo is a marine biologist that only helps dolphins and whales and ecology. This still makes an impact on the world because what he does can help a living animal, it may only be one animal but it helps anyways because everything is associated with one animal off of another. Also the food chain is a apart of keeping the ocean healthy and safe so nothing becomes extinct or overpopulated. So saving one life can save millions of mammals in the ocean. ( MacGillivray Freeman's DOLPHINS ).

Here are some facts about Acevedo and his acedemics and before being a scientist:, a research associate at UCSC and the California Academy of Sciences, as the National Hispanic Scientist of the Year. "Avevedo recieced his icenciatura en Biología (the equivalent of a B.S. in biology) from the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Sur, and his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University". (exact words from Hispanic Scientist of the year award 10-15-01). Acevedo' says.: "It acknowledges the efforts scientists make to share their work with kids and the general public, hopefully providing inspiration to future researchers." (Hispanic Scientist of the Year award 10-15-0). Acevedo is an inspiration and cares for others to do well, not only himself.

More information on filmography, Acevedo was in a film of a documentary of himself, it's called, exploring the deep. (Alejandro Acevedo-GutiÃ©rrez). This dolphin expert is share his love of the ocean while showing ocean scenes that take the viewers into an undersea world. "Produced as a companion to the Academy Award nominated large format (IMAX) film, "Dolphins." Winner of a 2001 CINE Golden Eagle Award." (Alejandro Acevedo-GutiÃ©rrez)

Now that you know that Hispanic scientist of any sort can change the world one step at time, accomplishing little things but it all makes a difference. There are Hispanic doctors, astronauts, and even marine biologist. So take a look at yourself in the future and thing the impact you'll have on the world like these inspirations.
