the idea that we have a scientist in

the last years changed a lot

not long ago scientist was

more or less this an old man and the crazy

but white that formal given by awkward to

could end up causing a

catastrophe

today, hener and that you like science is

coolest

we went on TV not only in the

documentaries and comic series about

nats people see them so copado we are

the scientists that people believe in

us when he said to buy like this

is used today as an argument for selling

example in this advertising

this lady convinces us that the

omega 3 are good that this has

lady who convinces us overall

I did not have a dust cover, I would not commit

like this idea that scientists

they have all the answers does not come out

only in advertisements but that

there is also the school in the class of

sciences do not answer questions and we

they convince that they were scientists

brilliant those who arrived

answers in a rapture of inspiration

that I had a scientist for a long time

time was the bright one that can be given

account for things that others do not a

giant that I will go further and not

He counted the rest as it was the truth of

world after writing a book and to

final

I took it in a test

today I want to convince you that it is not

well , you do not have to be tall to

be a scientist that scientists

we are not incredible geniuses for that

I want to propose that we go back to the

school that I have to remember how it was

be sitting there in a class of 100

be sure everyone happened at some time

that they came up with a half crazy idea

a question that he was anxious to answer

they realized that the class was not

for that but for the teacher to

will teach what we have to learn and

not to answer them what we

we have generated curiosity as if the

search for scientific answers

occur in a parallel universe that

we are not part and the science class

was full of answers to

memorize

I remember what happened to me once

we were seeing digestive system and

that was reasonable for me

I thought that somewhere inside

ours had to have a colander

because of course we eat solids and

solid and liquid liquids and it results

which then come out separately

I sat in that class the teacher told us

counted all the organs but it turns out

that none was a colander raised no

I asked how else could a colander

separate solids and liquids

it did not take laughter from my classmates

and the teacher so that I realize

that that question had no place in that

class

a year later I’m going to spend a

Once at school he convinced us that

everything but absolutely everything was

made of atoms other had that

feeling of having to learn something

that I was not convinced to imagine what

says this lady is that we and this

we are made of the same how

we could be the two facts of

atoms

if I am alive and this what they have of

magical the atoms of living things

what these questions have in common

is that they have no place in our class

of science and how they do not take place in

our science class and actually

they do not have any other

play the most we end up by

forget I would have forgotten this

Question

of not being for a few years later in

scientific conferences open to

community

a group of scientists convinced me

that it’s worth continuing to have

curiosity on this topic

there I learned that also the

scientists are really trying

to answer that they have magical the

atoms of living things as we are

we different from this were fulfilled

50 years that some giants of the

science had discovered that the

difference between us and this is

in the position of the atoms in how

they are sorted

precisely in all living things

there is a group of atoms that is organized

like a propeller the difference then

was in the position of the atoms and

for me this answer is a

especially fascinating because after

50 years the scientists followed

finding questions on this topic

it seems to do that science is

build with this cataract of questions

It took me many years to understand that

scientists are so focused on

the questions in those years studied

chemistry and started doing experiments

to try to answer questions that

nobody had ever answered before

we did not know the answer was because

first time the genuine feeling of

be trying something that had already

tried before is trying to answer

a question that I could not play but

wonderful that sounds that those first

experiments did not answer me the

question softened important remain

other questions to tell me what to do

before doing an experiment

so I started to understand that the

scientists we do not dream of finding

answers but with finding questions

that we can answer that is what we

interesting is that the answer does not

interest and repeat it and memorize it but

challenge her thinking that she is

questions does not generate studying chemistry me

allows me to join the community of

scientists that designs techniques for

see what until now we could not see and

who tries to ask what we can

imagine from this new look

in recent years in this community

we would be techniques that allow not

just tell where the atoms are

study your position but study

How then moves these models or

drawings armed with the position of

atoms are only part of the

information in living organisms

it’s like all these years we were

looking at pictures and now we can see the

movie

Of course it’s not that easy, it’s not that

we invented a camera that now enters

the cell and it tells us where

are and how they move each of the

atoms

but one of the results we got

with this technique is that the information

of living organisms is not only used

to determine the position but

It also tells us a lot about how it

move the atoms the movement the

atoms is so important to the

function as your position

then the difference between us and

this has nothing to do with the

position of the atoms but with how

the atoms you can order without moving

but then if I could mess up and

move the atoms of this so that

are messy and moving like

mine

this would also be alive

again in front of a response like

this one is much more interesting to think

what questions does it not generate to try to

repeat it memorize it and the nicest thing about

all these questions is that today not

they could be in

a science test because actually

we do not know the answer is going to ask

you ask me if they should take it will not be

a science test if in fact the

science is more built with

questions with answers that what

so yes we should learn from

science

maybe one thing we have to know

is that what we see and what is essential

they tell us we should see if not everything

what is beyond where there is more

questions that answers

I like to think that if we all understand

that science is not built by giants

in force his life the men the giants

but a whole society that shares

the desire to see the world we can

all scientists and non-scientists

try to remember those questions that do not

They took place in our classes

science those crazy ideas those questions

that gave us anxiety and go in the

search for your answers coming out with

maybe even if we do not find them we’re not going to

fill with incredible questions to what

do they said they were psychologists

carpenters acrobats lawyers be

science make professional tennis players

Do not be fooled by advertising

an important chemistry test is not

for you alone they come up with a

good answer but we all add up

our curiosity to have more and

better questions to answer the

curiosity is not a privilege

scientists is and should be a right of

everybody
