Barcelona Project

Summary

One of the presentations I had to give during my stay in Barcelona. Detailed some of the progress made in characterizing the response of different Drosophila species to a set of odors.

I spent summer 2010 in Barcelona conducting research at the Centre de Regulacio Genomica in Matthieu Louis's lab. In July I presented my work up to that point, which can be viewed below.

humanity's gold
20 november 2009 | short story

Captain’s Log 1.25.2838 My eyes watered at the sight. We had finally discovered what we had spent all these years wandering[...] aimlessly for. Shifting and moving, the silvery substance coated the land, its beauty enticing and dicing. There were several who ventured over its smooth surface, dying one by one. Out in the distance could be seen the splendorous pinnacle, atop its peak a mountain of gold. Men still strove for that most holy of materials, still killed and maimed for a chance to hold and possess it; some said that gold had become more than a sign of wealth and power.

Another story that ended up inspiring my book-in-progress Filugori, it is a focus on humanity's lust for something, anything, that will bring him fame and glory. It uses a character more obsessed with the adventure as a counter-backdrop to the drama unfolding around him.
