The nuclear leak in Japan

Radiation fears in Japan have grown after they admitted that the nuclear reactor core at Fukushima may be cracked after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11 this year. Then, dangerously high radiation levels were detected in the region of the plant, residents were evacuated. Unfortunately, the area around a nuclear plant in danger became  contaminated with nuclear radiation ,which can then spread  to  the nearby area through  the wind. However, any radioactive contaminants released will end up by raining out from  the atmosphere into the Pacific Ocean, where they will be diluted and absorbed, or in the nearby  plants. There are some scientists  who say  they cannot give a clear answer yet,  because they don't know enough about the amount and type of radioactive material that has been leaking . . Nonetheless, most experts seem to suggest the danger to the public is low. The radiation leak in Japan is small in comparison  to the worst nuclear accident in history,  Chernobyl, 25 years ago. At Chernobyl a huge explosion was followed by a fire which was blazing  for 10 days and emitted a huge amount of radiation which spread over a vast area.

Good Bye, see you at the next post

My argentine friend

My today’s post is related to a person that lives in another country, the expert I admire in my field, that is particularly molecular biology in Chagas disease, is a person I met when I was in Argentina, in the laboratory of Research Institute of Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biology (INGEBI) at the University of Buenos Aires, where  I did an internship. Her name is Margarita Bissio, a doctoral fellow and partner who helped me understand more of the real time PCR and their use. She is not only an expert in making, but also a very good person. One day, I went with her to teach children in a poor neighborhood in a house that had organized support with others, outside a typical Argentinian village, because they could not study in their own homes. She was very patient to teach them and me in the lab, helping me a lot in the research. When we had some free time, she showed me around the city; we celebrated Chilean national holidays on September eighteen with a barbecue with other lab mates and Cristian, was visiting me in those days. I had a great time and learned a lot about the technique that helps me to research today.

 

My last movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1

This movie is based on the seventh book of  Harry Potter novels.  It  Is a magical film that describes the adventures of the young boy wizard ,Harry Potter, and his best friends ,Ron Weasley and Hermione, students of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry.

In this film Voldemort's power is growing stronger. He now has control over the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione decide to finish Dumbledore's work and find the rest of the Horcruxes to defeat the Dark Lord. But little hope remains for the Trio, and the rest of the Wizarding World.

With very good visual effects, I recommend this film and all Harry Potter’s movies for people who like action and magic.

I hope you like it
