      Hi!
      My first passion as a student (when I started to approach scientific research) was the ability to play and modify DNA of living organisms.
      I am not kidding, this is a routine procedure in some of the labs I have worked before. During my Doctorate, I have learnt how to modify plant DNA and create a new mutant plant with particular characteristics useful to my research.
      This was a very useful achievement in my scientific career since it taught me a lot about how DNA and genes work.
