In April 10, 2008, Dr. Carlos A. Coello Coello visited INAOE (Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica), located in Tonantzintla, Puebla. He was invited to delivera speech during the celebrations of the 10 years of computer science at INAOE. Dr. Coello's talk was about his personal vision of the situation of computer science in México.

Although his visit was very short, Dr. Coello had a great time at INAOE, where he spent a night in one of its famous bungalows.
