ABOUT THE EXPERT:
Martín, born in Michoacán, México (historically Purepecha land), was raised in Southern California on what was Chumash and Tongva land (Ventura County and Los Angeles). He completed his B.A.S. at UC Davis where he focused on Chemistry and Spanish. Through chemistry, he discovered his passion for environmental toxicology and environmental health. Spanish brought a unique cultural aspect tying him deeper to his roots, which allowed him to venture into literature and philosophy, and ultimately guided his lifestyle and desire to help in the fight for equality, diversity, and justice. Martín has many interests in the Environmental sciences, ranging from environmental and human toxicology to nutrient cycling, agriculture and the ways chemicals travel into our water and food. Martín later obtained his M.S. in Environmental studies as a way of combining both his cultural knowledge and background with science, reinforcing his desire for social change through scientific practice.
