The Scientist that I admire

There's a lot of scientist which I could speak because of my admiration for them. But there's one who I could say "I'd like to be as him", and his name is Bruce Alberts.

Alberts is a badass of the cellular biology. He was born in 1938, in Chicago, USA. He studied Biochemstry at Harvard, place that, also, has granted him his Biochemistry Ph.D in 1965. He has worked in the Princeton's Department of Biochemical Sciences and later in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in the University of California, San Francisco. Currently, is the chief editor of the Science magazine 

During his life, he has studied principally the proteins that allows the chromosomal and DNA replication. He served to as the President of the National Academy of Sciences (1993-2005), and he is very compromised with the improvement of the scientific education. This is one of my personal reasons why I like his work, besides this, he has the greatest book of cellular biology (a really backache because its weight).

As anecdote, I met him once he came to Chile visiting a program of portable laboratories program that belows to Jorge Allende (another big scientist) and in which my school was participating. So, as the president of the Biology Academy, it was my work to receive him in te biology labs of my school.

I can remember that that opportunity I said "I don't have to be a genius to become a great scientist", and he felt really fascinated at hear that one young boy could say that about science in general... But that he never knew was that this cute innocent young dreamer will pass from a really mad amateur chemist:
