Yesterday, it was announced that two women scientists have been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the ability to edit DNA. Their names are: Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna. This ability to edit DNA could be used to treat inherited diseases. Emmanuelle and Jennifer appear in the documentary Human Nature that explores the entire concept in an exceptional style. It’s now available on Netflix.

Also yesterday, the Vice Presidential Debate took place between Pence and Kamala Harris. Pence appeared too rehearsed, untrustworthy, arrogant, and dismissive. Whereas… Kamala rocks!

Look, I’m neither a republican nor a democrat, but today it is very easy to see who’s right and who’s wrong. Trump has innumerable psychological problems that are not our job, as citizens, to fix. That’s for him and his family to deal with. We have bigger fish to fry due to his bad-intentioned incompetence. We have the obligation to save ourselves.

The Biden-Harris ticket is offering us an opportunity for dialogue, team work, and hope. Those are traditional American values that we have not forgotten.

I’m a writer with no agenda in mind. My discipline as a translator has helped me to appreciate other writers coming from different fields. My discipline as a writer has given me the obligation to be honest and a responsible part of the dissemination of fact-driven stories that as much fictional as they can be they are loyal to the intrinsical truths we contain as human beings.

Here, in my homepage and in my blog I talk about what I see. And I tell it like it is.
