My experience visitng blogs and the new techniques I have acquired
After visitng three blogs, I realized how BioMinds prepares us not only in our research but also expanding our knowledge in a diversity of fields linked to science.
I visited the blogs of Pamela Silens, Abby Joyce, and Jessica Torres. The three of them were really diverse, but that’s how science is. Pamela is working in the genetics field. In her blog, she discusses that the way medicines react is due to genetic polymorphisms of the enzymes that metabolize them. She is focused in the study of variants clinically relevant, so then she could determine if the results she gets are accepted from the one Hardy-Weinberg gives. On the other blog I visited, Abby’s, I could not understand very well what the research main goal was. From what I read, I know she is working in molecular biology and that she works controlling gene expression at the post transcriptional level in eukaryotic cells. She used a very technical language, may be that is why I could not understand most of the things that were written on the blog. The last blog I visited was Jessica’s; I loved her theme. She is isolating organic compounds from medical plants and crude extracts to treat diabetes type II. I am very interested with her work because many members of my family suffer from diabetes type II and also because it gives them another way to treat the illness.
Sincerely, I would have never read another blog unless I knew the person. I have to admit that I am glad I did it; I have learned so much… and by reading other blogs I have the will to improve the way I write mine. I have realized how helpful these blogs can be for everyone. After all this time that I have been working with bioinformatics I have almost mastered the art of sequencing, making phylogenetic trees, and analyzing the information. Even though it sounds really trivial, sequencing requires a lot of patience, especially when you have plenty of sequences that come from diverse environments.
Ciao!
Me parece muy interesante tu projecto ya que es uno de los pocos teoricos que hay. El campo de la Bioinformática es una disciplina científica muy importante ya que utiliza tecnología de la información para organizar, analizar y distribuir información biológica con la finalidad de responder preguntas complejas en biología. En otro pojecto de investigacion tuve la oportunidad de hacer arboles filogeneticos y tuve la oportunidad de aprender un poco de este complicado campo. Utilize el porgama clustal X. Te admito que es complicado el manejar toda esa informacion pero al parecer estas hecha toda un experta. Felicidades y sigue trabajando fuerte!
Some days I take a minute and look at a Bio-Blog from a BIOMINDS fellow, and I dedicate today’s minute to your blog. Through this experience I find out not only what other BIOMINDS fellows are doing at their labs, but I get to know other students that love what I love the most -to do research- I hope that you take a minute to take a look to mines. Congratulations for this great job!!!
Have a nice week!!!
Jessie
Me alegra que disfrutaras conocer los trabajos de otros companeros. No encuentro tu entry de abril.
