Resumen
Being part of the XXIX Summer of Scientific and Technological Research of the Pacific marked a milestone in my academic and professional development. During this experience, I had the opportunity to participate in an academic exchange in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, where I presented my research on tuberculosis. This city, with its colonial atmosphere and vibrant culture, became the ideal scenario to spread knowledge, explore new perspectives, and strengthen my inner compromise with science. Led by the accessibility and professionalism of Jaime, the project leader, I submerged myself in the fascinating scientific investigation field. His disposition to sharing experiences and meticulous perspective taught us not only the steps to investigate but also integrated the passion within it. This participation highlighted profoundly my tuberculosis understanding and the significance of scientific investigation.
