Dr. Ibarra was a giant in her field. Those with whom I have had contact in the health care professions in Cuba have referred to her with almost reverential devotion for her work in what they see as an essential part of what they call, “el trabajo mundial”, the world’s work. We mourn her loss as we await the next Dr. Ibarra’s emergence.

Thanks David for publish this news. Dr Ibarra is one of the best examples to follow during my development as biologist. I really apologize this lost. Thanks to Dr. Ibarra me and a lot of friends knew the beautiful beaches of Guanahacabibes, and the life of ocean turtles. Besides, we learneda lot with Dr. Ibarra as professor, in her Zoology classes.
