Falleció Scholein Rivenson
In his last news article, granted to the nation in March of this year, the scientist had made strong critics to the policies that caused the interruption of the immunization against the disease and had also affirmed that ?the present center will last more of a year?.
Son of Russian immigrants, Rivenson was born in Britos Shepherd, Between Rivers. He obtained his first work in the cooperative of Jews German of Bovril, in the same province, and he was received from veterinarian in the UBA. With the sprouting of the National Institute of Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA), in 1956, the scientist caused the creation of the Research center of Veterinary Sciences from where he developed and he proved with a collaborator group the antiaftosa vaccine that today takes its name.
Unlike its predecesoras, the vaccine developed by the equipment of the INTA required two applications (instead of three), protected the bull calves of vaccinated mothers, implied a smaller movement of the property and saved 50 million annual doses.
By its outstanding professional work, Rivenson received two years ago the Prize of Honor of the Office the International of Epizootias (OIE), first given by that institution to a Latin American investigator.
In an official notice, the INTA indicates that ?the attention of doctor Rivenson was not dedicated exclusively to the antiaftosa vaccine. From the adolescence one had been interested in responding to questions like so that we lived, what is the life?.
Some of writings of the scientist reveal their vocation of humanist: ?There is an evacuating in the human being, caused even by the modern techniques of computer science - it wrote. There was an extraordinary development of science in the last century in the atomic, biological and computer science level physical, but it has breaks very serious from the ethical point of view; if we did not manage to recover, that problem is going to be more difficult that the one to eradicate the aftosa fever?.
Yesterday, in dialogue with the nation, her woman, Albino, commented that ?we coexisted 45 years. He was a great scientist and a great person, but its work not always was recognized here?.
The rest of doctor Rivenson will be guarded today, from the 10, in avenue Forest 906, Capital.
