follow every rainbow

Thanks to ladymercury_10, I found out it's Ada Lovelace Day - a day to blog about female scientists, engineers, technologists or mathematicians who have influenced you.

The thing is... I've been thinking about it since morning, and I honestly can't choose a single one. I can think of at least three different awesome women among my university professors alone.

There's the Biochemistry professor who used to work with Leloir, and when she explained all those horribly complex things (not my favourite subject, heh) you could just tell that she had everything perfectly clear in her mind. The incredibly patient Mollecular Biology professor who helped so much with my thesis when my actual thesis director bailed out, even though it wasn't her job at all. The Zoology professor who studied Crustaceans and talked about them pretty much as if they were her babies.

There are so, so many amazing women out there. I couldn't pick just one.

And of course, there is my VERY AMAZING SISTER THE ENGINEER who may or may not be reading this! ♥

En palabras de Fu: blog de pajaritos =D (Y algunas plantas)

Non-Spanish speakers can go look at the bird photos anyway. It's not like there's a lot of text.

This is what I try to tell people every time some "scientific" news makes it to TV.

Every. Time.

Yay for getting a shiny graphic for that! XD
