Life
[edit]Born in 1934 in Taboada, Spain, Carballas had a strong desire to become a journalist, but it was a difficult career for women to enter into at the time. Instead, she decided to focus on science, graduating from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 1958 with a pharmacy degree. She then earned a chemical sciences degree in 1963 and a doctorate in pharmacy in 1964 from the University of Nancy. She began working in the 1960s, at the Spanish National Research Council , researching soil science. She researched solutions to recover land in areas affected by fires.[5]
