I love writing and learning new things in order to better educate those in need. I also enjoy hackathons and adventures around the world.

C.E.Calderon
Cleofé Elsa Calderón (October 26, 1929 – March 19, 2007) was an Argentine botanist.
In 1976, Calderón rediscovered Anomochloa in Bahia, Brazil, with the help of assistant Talmon Soares dos Santos. By identifying this tropical forest grass, Calderón provided specimens for detailed morphological and anatomical study that confirmed it as a grass.
In October 1971, Calderón performed field operations and collected living materials of a new genus of grasses; the genus was named after her: Calderonella.
