Physicist and meteorologist Gemma Puig (Berga, 1976) was the first in her family to attend university: "My parents hadn't studied and they instilled in my sister and me the idea that we should study." Puig loved science and graduated with a degree in physics. As a child, she said she wanted to be an astronaut: "But once I started university, I studied astronomy and meteorology, which was the branch most focused on Earth and space."
