ConTexere, the name we chose for this publication, is the Latin word for weaving together. This name reflects the mission of ConTex. Through our programs, we are weaving together innovative ideas and novel projects between scholars from across Mexico and the University of Texas System to support scientific research and academic collaborations mutually beneficial for Texas, Mexico, and the rest of the world.
In this 2020 issue, we feature cutting-edge research projects that address some of society’s most urgent problems. Through these stories we come to understand how the skills, experience, and collaborations of our scholars blend beautifully to reach key breakthroughs.
