Every April 10, Science and Technology Day is celebrated in Argentina, in honor of the Argentine scientist Bernardo Houssay for his discoveries in Physiology and Medicine, particularly for his discovery of the role of the pituitary or pituitary gland in the regulation of amount of sugar in the blood, through the metabolism of carbohydrates. He was the first Argentine (and Latin American) scientist to obtain this distinction.

The Day of Science and Technology or also known as the Day of the Scientific Researcher, was established by the Unesco General Conference in honor of the birth of the Argentine scientist.

This event is a recognition to those who make scientific activity their choice of life and contribute in the scientific field in various ways to raise the quality of life of the world's societies.

The objective of this date is to highlight the importance of the development of these areas, scientific knowledge and research work in the world. It also seeks visibility for the work of scientific researchers from around the planet and communication of their discoveries.

The date of April 10 also coincides with some typical facts, for example:

On April 10, 1912, the RSM Titanic began its first and last voyage from the port of Southampton (England) to Cherbourg, Queenstown and finally to New York.

Also on April 10, 1995 - Opera Software released version 1.0 of its Opera web browser. This company was the first to develop web browsers for mobile devices in 1998.

Let's also hope that today, April 10, a coronavirus treatment or vaccine will be announced.
