In Chile, there are a low percentage of students that follows a scientific academic careers, possibly due a bad education in general about the science.
We decide to go to public schools for share with the children and near colligates how fascinating is to study the nature through the science and how can it help to make a better future, specially, as biotechnologists, we love to provide solutions through the biology. We ever ended this activities with a very good feeling, because the children showed great interest, doing questions like “How do you insert DNA into a bacteria?” or like “Are the transgenic food really mad?” and “Isn’t it go against the natural selection?”
