Jorge is many things, hard to outline into a simple idea, a man of many talents which he claims are a reflection of his own teachers’ and students’ accomplishments. Throughout a career of more than 50 years dedicated to the study of Compositae and theoretical phenetics, cladistics and biogeography, he has had an extensive roduction in terms of published works, students mentored and courses taught across the five continents. One of Latin America’s brightest systematists opens a door to his life and work so we could witness an amazing journey about the power of daring to learn more and the courage to follow one’s dreams.
