The Tolkiens of the future will write romances about the battles of this century.

I must confess that my first reproductive experience is almost 8 months old. So far I didn’t get any results that surpass the popular science.
As far as I know the young creature has the lungs full of water and lives in the deepness of a biological tank.

I appreciate the idea of living inside a submerse world but I can’t find Romanticism about swimming in the own urine.

Charles Darwin completed 200 years last week. As a competent Boring Scientist I should congratulate him for something.
I decided to resume his theory in one Portuguese old saying that “some people are born with their bottoms facing the moon”. It describes those gifted folks that somehow seem to get everything with ease.

Of course, there is a much larger debate on existentialist significance of his work, or else few would remember his second centennial. But that is the greatest paradigm of science, which is much more productive in logics than in answering the questions we want to be answered.

I leave you my favorite illustration:

It's good to be back and meet old friends.

It's sad that while some voids are filled others are growing in some sort of warm sadness.
In this time of assessments many of our thoughts go to all friends who shared Texas and 2008 with us.

I find diversity and variability quite charming; I understand if we don't blame it on people…
Its natural selection that keeps disappointing me.

My grandmother never believed that men had walked in the moon. At that time it was difficult to tell between reality and propaganda, all believes resumed to some kind of “faith”.

I don’t have any “faith” in science; I don’t care if I have to change all my scientific convictions from one instant to the other as I follow the wind of the discoveries. And, as a matter of fact, I never tried to dissuade my grandmother from her conviction because at the time I didn’t have enough scientific arguments.

Does that make me a boring scientist? YES!
