From September 15 to 21, Madrid will experience a unique exhibition celebrating the life and legacy of Ana María Lajusticia, a prominent figure in the fields of chemistry, nutrition, and scientific outreach in Spain. The exhibition, titled “A Life with Science: the scientific and human legacy of Ana María Lajusticia,” aims to pay tribute to this pioneer, born in 1924, whose work has focused on improving human health.
The exhibition offers an intimate journey that not only highlights her scientific facet but also her commendable commitment and struggle in a field that has often been adverse to women in science. Lajusticia is recognized as the pioneer of magnesium supplementation in Spain, promoting this mineral as an essential dietary supplement. Throughout her career, she has written over 12 books, which have been translated into various languages, solidifying her role as a trailblazer in scientific outreach in the country.
Her work is not limited to writing; Lajusticia has also made her mark in the digital world by becoming the first nonagenarian YouTuber, demonstrating that the curiosity to learn knows no age. Her passion for outreach has made her an admired figure, showing that science can be accessible to everyone.
Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to explore six illustrative totems that recount her personal and professional life, including previously unseen images and significant objects. The exhibit chronicles her evolution from her early steps in chemistry to the establishment of her brand, which carries her name and image, reflecting her coherence and authenticity. “I am sure of what I say, of what I do. It’s not an opinion; it’s what chemistry says, and chemistry doesn’t get it wrong,” she would firmly declare.
The exhibition “A Life with Science” will be at the La Vaguada shopping center in Madrid, and after its time in the capital, it will travel to other cities in the country, including Bilbao, her hometown. This event not only honors Ana María Lajusticia’s journey but also celebrates her unwavering dedication to improving people’s quality of life through knowledge and science.
