"Science is the literature of truth" - Josh Billings

Biologist's Day

Friday, 3 September 2010
Once I took an oath, an oath that, as a free translation to english, went something along these lines:

"I swear, upon my faith and my honor and according to the biologist's ethical principles, to practice my professional activities with honesty, for the defence of life, stimulating the scientifical, technological and humanistic development with justice and peace" *

Today is the day all those who took the same oath in some point of their lives have to celebrate...


Congratulations to all the biologists out there! Happy Biologist's Day!!
