Happy 4th Everyone 🙂

The fireworks are suppose to start in about 1.5 hours, so instead of indulging in food and beverage ... I'll engage myself in my field of study 🙂

My interest in biotechnology keeps expanding far beyond the realms of academia! It the manipulation of organisms to do practical things -- such as phytoremediation, which is the treatment of environmental problems through the use of plants. *** I'm still considering on doing my thesis on this type of bioremdiation ***

When I discovered that biotechnology was connected to nanotechnology, then I became forever intrigued. Nanotechnology manipulates material on the nanoscale.Also, NASA nanotech (well,molecular nanotechnology) research group are exploring ways that nanos can be used to advance the exploration and human habitation of space (YES!!!). IBM is doing pathbreaking research to revolutionize computing -- storing one bit in a few atoms no longer seems impossible, and molecular switches will be used instead of optical lithography.

OOOOPS! I gave way too much info ... this stuff really gets me going 😉

Hey, did I tell you I have an interest in epidemiolgy too -- I only need my masters to qualify an epidemiolgist ^_^.

It's so interseting how nanotechnolgy works in some many different ways. They are using them with the development of new drugs for cancer treatment -- I think beta blockers will be intergrated with nanos to stop the increase of cancer cells that producing "bad" protien ....
