🎓 Santiago Schnell takes office as Dartmouth's president: science and education move forward — even in Trump’s America 💪📚

As of July 1st, Venezuelan scientist Santiago Schnell officially became president of Dartmouth College, one of the most prestigious institutions in the Ivy League. His appointment is not only a proud moment for the Latin American community, but also a symbol of resilience and commitment to higher education and scientific excellence.

🧬 Known for his work in mathematical biology and the Schnell-Mendoza equation, Schnell has overcome personal health struggles while remaining dedicated to research and education.

🇺🇸 Now, in a politically charged atmosphere — where Trump-era rhetoric often targets critical thinking and diversity in academia — Schnell stands firm in his vision:

> "These universities are bigger than the country. Even if they hit us, we will keep educating."

He embodies a kind of leadership that doesn't flinch, that promotes dialogue without surrender, and that upholds the role of universities as beacons of free thought, innovation, and social progress.

🌎 A Venezuelan who rose through adversity. A scientist who speaks out. A university president who leads with courage.
