Carlos Valdez
Global Security
Growing up in Lima, Peru, Livermore chemist Carlos Valdez excelled in art and soccer. But his first love was science.
“I liked it because there was always a rational explanation for everything, and a solution for every problem,” he says. “In sixth grade, my dad got me a few test tubes. I’d gather my friends from the block and after playing soccer on the streets, we’d mix things together, such as water and soy sauce! Then I’d throw in Alka Seltzer—just to see what happened.”
