From the invisible to the visible world and back...

Well, I don’t know too much about materials, instruments and/or techniques that are important in the micro or nano world, but I’m interested in genetic modification, also called genetic engineering. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.
 I study Biochemistry which is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. So genetic engineering it’s so important to my career if I want to dedicate myself to that, because I have to manipulate DNA of different things like food, etc.
Thanks to Genetic engineering, science has managed to grow plants with greater tolerance to drought or protected against a virus, Increased crop resistance to disease, production of pharmaceutical compounds in animal milk, vaccine development, and alteration of livestock characteristics, Cures can be found for genetic diseases so that new generations are born healthier, etc.  Nevertheless, there is always a bad side, like it can produce allergies, something that is very worrisome to the producers of these foods. It may be due to the transferred genetic material, the unexpected formation of an allergen or the lack of information about the protein encoding the inserted gene. Also, must take into account that the disadvantages arise or may arise from the misuse of the mentioned techniqu
es.

My Favourite Book and Film

My interesting for the books started when I read Murder on “The Canadian” in the school, well I never really liked school books but that was so good then I started to read the book for my own and I discover my favorite book Proud and Prejudice. This book was written by Jane Austen, a British writer, and it first published it was in 1813. I know it’s a romantic story but the best part of this book is the time it was written.  I love the clothes, but I don’t like the thought they had, about getting married very young, having a first-born male child, In general, the strong machismo that existed. The story charts the emotional development of the protagonists, Elizabeth Bennet, who learns the error of making hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between the superficial and the essential. And Mr. Darcy who learns to leave his pride behind and begin the love. In 2005 Joe Wright made the movie of this book. I saw it around 2009 but I don’t like so much, movies are never a

A country you would like to visit..

There are so many countries that I would like to visit, nevertheless when I think about me in a new country, I always imagine in Prague. I don’t know too much about this country, I just know about Charles Bridge, a historic bridge that crosses the Vitava River and the Prague castle. Prague I think that Prague is a WONDERFUL place to go, It has a beautiful architecture, a beautiful river, everything seems so quiet, I close my eyes, I imagine myself there and I feel so good. Have a good time, walking along those beautiful streets, enjoying the scenery and the people Egypt I don’t want to live there, I just want to stay there the enough time to tour the city and enjoy each part of it. I would like to tour the city with a couple of friends or someone special and make the city too much special. When I was a child II always told my mother to take me to Egypt because I wanted to see the pyramids close up… Today I would still like to visit them, but I like Prague muc

Your favourite piece of technology

Since I was a child I liked music, listening to music and playing it.  I play some instruments, but the instrument that I most like to play is the piano, that's why it's my favourite piece of technology. When I was 9 years old my mom gave me a piano, and I learned to play it at the school in the 5th grade, with my teacher's help of course. But it was only that year, then I started to practice on my own, so almost everything I know about play the piano its of my own. Now I love to play the piano, and I do it for different things. Sometimes when I feel sad or angry I like to play a song on the piano, I feel it's like my therapy. Or sometimes my mom wants me to learn a song for her and then she sings it. Or sometimes just I like a song and I wants to play it on piano. I think that my life without piano will be terrible, as I said before, play the piano it's like my therapy, it's where I express what I feel and I don't imagine my life without it. PS:
