Thanks kmguru for your kind words. My background also include 4 years of Mechanical and Aeronautical engineering, two years in Antrhopology, two years in Art at the Art Students Lague in New York (back in 1961-62), and have been in charge of mechanical maintenance of our familiy limestone quarry and quilns. (Caterpillar shovels and trucks, Decauville diesel locomotives, lime kilns, etc). One "sabatic" year was spent at AECL´s (Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. as head of the Technical Translations Dept. (English and Italian to Spanish, and viceversa) where I got deep into the Nuclear issue and found how there was wide discrepancy between the scientific facts and the "antinuke" agenda.
I also have a three-years trainign in Electronics (from basics to micro processors) and that made it possible for me to help my elder brother with his electronic and computing equipment in sientific research on Neurophysiology. (He was -now retired- professor of Experimental Psychology at Cordoba National University and Senior researcher at "<b>Mercedes and Martin Ferreyra Institute of Medical Research</B>", founded by my family in memory of my grandparents, and also a "guest researcher" at Columbia University in New York).
By the way, in our Institute was carried out the work that led to the world famous Papanicolau test for cancer of the uterus, by Drs. Ines Allende (a female doctor, and head of the team) and Dr. Papanicolau, who finally got the credit --back in the fifties women were not well seen at the labs. Quite an injustice.
About our page in the the web, I am building one at "freeservers.com" under the domain: <A HREF="http://mitosyfraudes.8k.com"><b>"Mitosyfraudes"</b></A> but it is still under construction. In freeservers.com we have 20 Mbytes of space, so there will be room for lots of graphics, where I plan to have a page full of pictures of my more than 30 years of traveling and exploring the Amazon jungle, living among wild tribes (the headhunters Jivaro of Ecuador, the isolated Ewarhoyana at the border between Brazil and Surinam, the almost extinct Sirionó in the Bolivian Amazon, etc).
I agree completely with you about trying to spread the truth, but the problem is <b>"who holds the truth?"</b> Apparently, the truth lies near the scientific facts --observed, checked and rechecked facts, not <b>"perceived" factoids</b>-- but, as new scientific evidence comes to surface every day, making old "facts" obsolete, we must travel with "feet of lead" on grounds we have once assumed as solid.
In my very brief profile is listed my email, so if you want to share your ideas with me you are gratefully welcome. Any how, I´ll repeat it here: <font color0red><b><A HREF="mailto:edufer@sienectis,com.ar">My Email Here</A></b></font>. Hope to hear from you.
