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
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
