Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
Here in California, Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta are household names, as is the organization that they founded, the National Farm Workers Association. But the push for the rights of agricultural workers in California did not start with them. The year 1933 saw an unprecedented amount of labor strikes across the state, involving nearly 50,000 farmworkers, the majority of whom were Mexican and Mexican-American.
The workers, which were organized by unions such as the Cannery and Agricultural Workers Industrial Union (CAWIU) and the Confederación de Uniones de Campesinos y Obreros Mexicanos (CUCOM), fought for improved wages and conditions. This document contains a list of 13 petitions from CUCOM to the Japanese Growers of Los Angeles County and include requests for a minimum wage of 40 cents per hour and equal pay for women.
So, from the National Archives at Riverside, viva los trabajadores y viva los Mejicanos americanos!

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we are spotlighting José McMurray, one of the founding figures in Spanish-language and bilingual public radio in America. Listen to him discuss what inspired him during his time at the KBBF community radio station in the early 1970s.
In 1973, José McMurray helped to found KBBF-FM, the nation’s first bilingual public radio station, broadcasting out of Santa Rosa, CA. Four years later he moved to DC and became the producer of NPR’s new Spanish-language and bilingual programming, including the weekly news magazine, Enfoque Nacional.
In 2017, RAD’s public historian Julie Rogers recorded an oral history interview for the NPR archives with McMurray covering his early days in community radio and his thirteen year career at NPR. In his interview, McMurray reflected on the experience of founding KBBF —
“Latinos just had never heard of—that you pay for a radio station, that we become members. You know this was all new, it was new to us. So we were inventing the wheel. Another society, like, KQED in other places and in San Francisco, that was very normal. For the Latinos, it wasn’t. But then you wouldn’t have the story of a man coming from Napa who walked 20 miles to come and give us—because he didn’t have a checkbook so he brought us cash, and then he walked 20 miles back to his home for him to get up in the morning to be in the fields. But he was saying, ‘your music, your news, it fills my day up. I have to give you money. I have to come and give you because it fills my—it makes my day a lot better in the field listening to your radio station.’ It’s like, when you get a comment like that, you know, you can last 30 more days without any pay. You just, you get touched by things. And that’s just one of them.”
JKX Comics honors the remarkable work of Dr. César Milstein for his contribution to immunology and his discovery of hybridomas which awarded him the Nobel Prize. This discovery revolutionized the field of biology and medicine.
Dr. Milstein discovered that fusing spleen cells with myeloma cells (immortal cancer plasma cells) form hybridomas; which increases the longevity of the cells and maintains its ability to produce antibodies (proteins that recognize and bind foreign proteins).
With this discovery, genetically identical hybridomas can be made which produce antibodies that recognize a specific part of a protein. These antibodies are termed monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies are a common tool in biology to detect proteins. They are used to detect whether a patient has a specific disease and as a treatment for diseases like cancer. These therapies can be recognized with the “mab” at the end of the name.
Thank you, Dr. Milstein, for your transformative work! You can read more of Dr. Milstein and his work here:

Kathrin Barboza Márquez is a Bolivian researcher who studies the bio-acoustics of bats. She is best known for rediscovering (with her research partner) the Bolivian sword-nosed bat, that was thought to be extinct for 72 years!
•
Kathrin has made substantial contributions to #STEM studying bats in many countries across Latin America. She made one of the first libraries of bat echolocation sounds in Bolivia, as well as the first comprehensive study on bat parasites.
•
Kathrin’s impressive research has earned her @natgeo Young Explorer Grant in 2006, the L’Oreal-UNESCO #WomenInScience award in 2012 (where she is the first Bolivian awarded), as well as being named top ten Latin American women in science in 2013 by the BBC.

JKX Comics is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! Today we honor the outstanding work of Dr. Sandra M. Díaz, an ecologist from Argentina who is changing how we view biodiversity (the variety of wildlife, plants, and other lifeforms in a particular ecosystem).
Dr. Díaz’s work consisted of understanding how CO2 levels impact particular plants by examining the effects on the microorganisms within the soil. Her results provided insight on how soil organisms compete with plants for available nutrients and the impact on plant growth. This type of analysis provided a more global view on the impact of CO2 on our ecosystem which would be difficult to study by only examining the individual plant.
Dr. Díaz work is widely recognized in the ecology field and she is one of the most cited environmental scientists.She is the leader of @ipbes_ , an intergovernmental organization who assess the state of biodiversity in order to improve policy. Thank you Dr. Díaz for your amazing work and your efforts to improve the world around us.
