Original: «Again, I don't want to generalize but I think many people are so hyper focused on money, they lose sight of other virtues and advantages implicit in a given profession. (...). It can’t be all work, all the time—that doesn’t make for a well-rounded or happy individual».
Frases célebres de María Amparo Pascual
Entrevista en Medicc Review, octubre de 2018
Original: «Sometimes here in Cuba we put a fine point on how many scientists we have, how many doctors we have. It’s an accomplishment to have so many doctors, so many dentists and health professionals, but these statistics, while laudable, don’t tell the whole story. We have to ensure that those who pursue science are passionate about it, that science is what keeps them engaged and excited. If that means we’re training fewer scientists, let’s train fewer scientists! It's a question of quality not quantity».

Original: «In my opinion, men and women do have different styles of leading but I think generalizing can be dangerous, so this doesn’t apply to all men or all women, but I’ve found that women are generally more demanding of themselves. And this translates into being more demanding in their work and with the team they're leading».

Original: «It’s also striking how many women are directing institutions or hospitals today. Likewise, we have many women in leadership positions in politics, ministries and the like. Nevertheless, while over 50% of scientists in Cuba are women, we don’t represent half the directors of scientific institutes».

Entrevista en Medicc Review, octubre de 2018
Original: «Back then it was quite rare to have a woman directing a scientific institution. (...) But women have to work doubly hard to reach that level—they’re usually responsible for resolving issues related to their children or home for instance, and there’s also a certain level of gender bias women have to overcome—especially back then since it was so novel to have a women director. It wasn’t easy. But where other people see limitations and difficulties, I see opportunity».
