In this course we talked about biological design as a creative and transdisciplinary practise that is open to all. Access to the means of experimentation for the investigative and applied sciences will not only change the way we understand and describe the world but also bring forth new knowledge, designs and engineering practices. Through the course, researchers will learn how to identify microorganisms, how to take samples and prepare cultivation medias, how to observe microscopic organisms and to design with DNA
In class we talked about Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Multicellular. Each of these fields is interconnected and often overlaps with the others, contributing to our overall understanding of life, health, and disease.
Biochemistry: The study of chemical processes in living organisms, focusing on biomolecules like proteins, DNA, and lipids, and how metabolic reactions occur in cells.
Molecular Biology: Focuses on how genes are structured, replicated, and expressed at the molecular level, including processes like DNA transcription and protein synthesis.
Microbiology: The study of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.), their biology, and their roles in health, disease, and the environment.
Multicellular Biology: Examines the organization and function of multicellular organisms, including how cells differentiate into specialized types, form tissues, and work together to create organs and systems.
Trough this studies we understand, thanks to Nuria, how Physiology is in a reciprocal relationship with cultural evolution; If we didn't had this sofisticate and complex systems we wouldn't have life, is all about specific information for specific task. This is Genetic Engineering's field, where trough an action you could create a new life-beings; we just design the place of cells but after that they do all the things. An extraordinary examples is CrispCasp9, amazing how the biology can change the lifes !!! Nuria open our eyes in a new field, change the world thanks biology. The details could done the difference in this world.
Also we talked about the Scientific Methods, in Italy we used to study this for years and years, but here I find interested the main topics about this methods, namely repeat and documentation are so important in a experiment.
In class we tryied to grown some bacteria from some bacteria basis' different Nuria recipes. All the mixture were put in many petrins, Nuria suggest us to put inside different things (like nails, hair etc.) Unfortunaly the bacteria didn't grown because the conditons of the enviroment (our class) weren't so good and specific for bacterias growth.
In my petrins I put some of my catarrh plus sugar, but I wasn't luky and it doesn't grown nothing. Other guys were more luky and grown something, but they were only a few. WE HAVE TO CARE ABOUT THE IGINE CONDITIONS OF MATTER LAB.
Nuria takes a lessons about spirulina, what is and how grown it. She show us varius practies and way to grow spirulina. It is amazing, you could grow a ton of spirulina in a really short period and has a lot of Kcal (more than meat). Now I don't have space in my tiny Barcellona's house, but when I will have more space, why not ?
strange to eat, but more and less good flavor...
