“It is always nice to receive a formal recognition, but it is even more emotional to see the happiness of several of my colleagues when they noticed that I had been awarded”, says Jonathan Antognini, last winner of our Fundamental Statements award, in the Collaboration category.

After 8 years at ALMA as Integration & Testing Lead, Jonathan was honored to have been recognized with the Collaboration award. “Being part of this organization and being able to work together with different people and teams to achieve better results has always been a great motivation for me,” he says.

A fan of Tarantino movies, a lover of fast food and an admirer of his parents, Jonathan shares his recommendations:
Reading: I really like “Homo Deus” by Yuval Noah. I also recommend his first book called “Sapiens: from animals to gods” in which he analyzes several historical factors and how we act contemporarily. I just read it post pandemic and the book was written pre-pandemic, so there are some not so true assumptions, I think.

Listening: The rapper Nach and his album “Ars Magna” / “Miradas”, which Soledad Fuica gave me as a gift. Since I was young I listen and I have a lot of passion for Hip Hop, as well as some colleagues like Felipe León and Francisco Belmar. I’ve always tried to take advantage of going to concerts and gigs, either from the national scene -which has very good exponents- or from the United States or Spain, as is the case of Nach.

See: “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” where Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet give superb performances and the plot is even better. I would also recommend watching the movies directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Eating: I love junk food, especially hot dogs, hamburgers and pizza. We went with Jorge Avarias and Tomas Staig to a challenge at the Heart Attack Grill, a well-known restaurant in Las Vegas.

Drink: I don’t drink alcohol, so I stick to traditional drinks. I’m a fan of Coke.

Follow / admire: My parents. They have been an example in my life and will always be my role model.

Do / Practice: Basketball. I love a picture of me with the ALMA team at the interobservatory Olympics. What fascinates me about team sports is that it gives the possibility to meet and make great friends while enjoying common likes and dislikes.

Thinking / Believing: I like to think that you have to be the energy or type of person you want to attract in life.

Dress: I really like the color black, either in jeans or t-shirts.

Travel: I want to visit Petra in Jordan, a place I saw for the first time as a child in the movie “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” and I thought it was an image created by computers. Later I found out it was a real place, which I hope to go to someday.
