In the middle-end of the XX century [ wow, this sentence makes me feel so old and saviour! ] the artistic life of the city was awakening. I had the luck to see the wonderful years when great ideas came out from the big social cauldron that often stands still across centuries, and suddenly started to boil. This is a remain of an artistic installation of that period… and it is so strange for me to see it again, aged and ‘toned’ like the surrounding environment. The question mark has been drawn recently by some unaware youngster, for sure. [ glad to see he had the willing to explore… and the brain to ask himself what in the hell that sentence should mean! But why he spent his little money in fluorescent spray cans to write question marks remains a mystery. An artistic fluorescent painting on a wall (with a meaning, of course), would have been welcomed… why they do not understand? ]
I have the feeling that cauldron is standing still again.

Genetic engineering is a process in which scientists modify the genetic makeup of organisms such as plants animals and microorganisms by introducing deleting or changing certain genes. The goal of genetic engineering is to produce organisms with advantageous characteristics such as improved disease resistance or improved nutritional content.
Genetic Stripe is a recessive gene which eliminates patterns on a ball python, and produces two black lines which run down its back. When combined with other genes it can do crazy things! Genetic Stripe Albinos, are patternless orange snakes for instance!

Greenpeace activists carrying a giant eggplant-shaped balloon, marched to the office of the Department of Agriculture in Quezon City to gather public support for vigilance on food and environmental safety for the sake of Filipinos, during the World Environment Day. They carried banners that said “Filipinos are not guinea pigs. Stop GMO invasion!”
Greenpeace is calling for the government to stop the onslaught of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) into the country. Last April 26, 2012, Greenpeace filed a petition for a Writ of Kalikasan and Writ of Continuing Mandamus at the Supreme Court seeking legal remedy to the flawed regulatory system that has allowed the unhampered proliferation of dangerous GMOs in the country. The court granted the Writ of Kalikasan last May 11, 2012.

Microworld Arcadia was a group art show organised by Genetic Moo at the Arcadecardiff gallery in the Queens Arcade shopping mall for two weeks in May 2013. The show consisted of interactive and generative artworks by different artists. The art works responded to the audience, the gallery and importantly to each other, so the space was constantly changing in pixels, sound, colour and motion. Each day different works were brought together in different combinations.
Day 9 at Microworld Arcadia was inclusivity day. Wendy Keay-Bright came in and brought her Somantics interactive Kinect apps including Kaleidoscope, Sparkle and Slitscan programs. People of all types enjoyed these simple intuitive engagements. Genetic Moo ran Starfish and It's Alive ant colony was projected over Stefan Samociuk's video.
Microworld Arcadia was a big success breaking attendance records for the gallery and we plan to take the show on tour in the future, working with different sets of local artists each time to create interactive digital Microworlds around the UK and beyond.

Os geneticistas André Dreyfus e Theodosius Dobshanksy no Brasil em 1943

Dreyfus por Dobzhansky
André Dreyfus recebeu uma homenagem póstuma na Biblioteca Municipal de São Paulo em 1952, promovida por iniciativa da Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência (SBPC). Theodosius Dobzhansky foi um dos cientistas que participaram da cerimônia. A seguir, a transcrição de parte de seu discurso:
“O professor Dreyfus era um ativo pesquisador no campo da Biologia Geral. A lista de seus trabalhos de pesquisa impressiona pela extensão. Todavia, a pesquisa biológica constitui uma só parte – e a parte relativamente menos importante – da contribuição de Dreyfus ao progresso da ciência biológica. O trabalho mais importante deixado por Dreyfus não foi publicação alguma, foi a ativa escola de pesquisa biológica que criou e o Departamento de Biologia Geral da Universidade de São Paulo por ele organizado.
A magnitude dos feitos do professor Dreyfus só pode ser apreciada com a lembrança de que ele era em grande parte um autodidata em biologia. Sua formação não era a de um biologista, mas a de um médico. Era muito justamente orgulhoso de ter, por si mesmo, desenvolvido seu interesse em biologia, sobrepujando as muitas dificuldades de iniciação nesse campo. Mais tarde, Dreyfus visitou vários laboratórios biológicos na França e, em 1944, nos Estados Unidos. No entanto, não permaneceu por tempo suficiente longo em nenhum desses laboratórios para deles se tornar um membro ou adquirir as tradições das escolas biológicas desses países.
Sua filosofia científica e, especialmente, sua filosofia biológica, foram desenvolvidas por ele mesmo e em completa independência. Em vista disso, o mais notável é que os pontos de vista científicos de Dreyfus fossem completamente livres de qualquer coisa que pudesse ser chamada de provincialismo. Até os últimos anos de sua vida manteve-se bem informado das pesquisas biológicas em andamento no mundo científico.
Ainda mais notável, seu julgamento de importância relativa dos diferentes tipos de pesquisa biológica era admiravelmente agudo e perspicaz. Seus julgamentos eram muitas vezes expressos com um grau de veemência que poderia, talvez, ser considerado excessivo. De qualquer forma, é o futuro que deve dar a decisão final a respeito dos méritos relativos das diferentes correntes do pensamento científico em um determinado tempo.
Todavia, nada é mais importante para um cientista criador do que decidir por si mesmo qual dessas correntes é a mais promissora, para seu tempo e para seu trabalho. Dreyfus conseguiu tal decisão e o mínimo que se poderia dizer é que ela foi sustentada por, e esteve de acordo com o que havia de mais progressivo.
Alguns cientistas preferem trabalhar sós. Sentem-se mais felizes quando podem se fechar em seus laboratórios e gastar todo o tempo e energia em seu trabalho predileto. Outros desejam não só transmitir seus conhecimentos a outrem, mas preferem desenvolver um trabalho criador – não como indivíduos, mas como membros de um grupo.
Tais cientistas tendem a atrair colaboradores e a se tornar fundadores de escolas. Uma escola científica, se baseada em uma idéia importante e viável, pode durar por muito tempo após o desaparecimento de seu fundador. Na verdade, os feitos mais importantes de uma escola científica podem aparecer uma geração depois de sua fundação.
Dreyfus definitivamente detestava estar só ou trabalhar isolado; sentia-se mais feliz como membro de uma coletividade. Reuniu ao redor de si um grupo de pesquisadores que se tornou a escola brasileira de Biologia e Genética e que adquiriu reputação e reconhecimento mundial. Eu disse propositadamente que Dreyfus reuniu um grupo de colaboradores, não um grupo de alunos. Isso porque Dreyfus não era desses professores que usam os alunos em seu próprio trabalho, como instrumento altamente eficiente. Ele era a escola, e essa foi a razão de ter sido bem sucedido. O trabalho de uma escola é fruto da combinação harmoniosa dos esforços criadores de vários cientistas, e não o de um único cientista ajudado por vários auxiliares sem personalidade própria.
O trabalho inicial de Dreyfus sobre citologia comparada de vermes, de mamíferos e de himenópteros colocou-o face a face com os problemas da genética de populações e da evolução. Ele viu claramente que o comportamento dos cromossomos só pode ser compreendido na base da função que desempenham nos processos evolutivos.
Os cromossomos existem não para a distração dos citologistas: o comportamento deles é uma parte da adaptação do organismo a seu modo de vida. Dreyfus viu ainda mais que um grupo de biologistas trabalhando no Brasil seria muito mais bem sucedido se explorasse as tremendas vantagens oferecidas pelas notavelmente ricas fauna e flora de sua terra natal. Existem, na verdade, certos materiais de trabalho e certos problemas que poder ser igualmente bem estudados em São Paulo, Nova York, Londres ou Calcutá.
Um biologista de São Paulo pode estudar fisiologia de bactérias ou de coelhos ou de cobaias, ou ainda genética de Drosophila melanogaster, tão bem como um biologista em Estocolmo ou Tóquio. Mas um biologista no Brasil leva enorme vantagem se usar como material para seu trabalho as espécies brasileiras de Drosophila, ou animais do mar tropical ou plantas dos campos cerrados ou das florestas tropicais.
As moscas do gênero Drosophila mostram ser o material mais favorável para pesquisas dos problemas da genética de populações e da evolução. Dreyfus percebeu, todavia, que não seria interessante tentar desenvolver trabalho em São Paulo com a espécie clássica para tais estudos, a Drosophila melanogaster. Parecia provável que a fauna brasileira contivesse espécies nativas não menos favoráveis do que D. melanogaster, mas elas ainda eram completamente desconhecidas.
Ocorria que o único trabalho sobre Drosophila na América do Sul era o do cientista alemão O. Duda, baseado somente no estudo de material conservado em museus europeus e coletados diversas vezes por coletores de insetos diferentes, principalmente na Bolívia, no Peru e Paraguai. O trabalho de Duda menciona apenas três espécies de Drosophila como existentes no Brasil.
Ou seja, um trabalho preliminar era necessário como base para qualquer trabalho futuro sobre genética e evolução de Drosophila no Brasil. Esse trabalho foi iniciado no laboratório do professor Dreyfus em 1943, pelo então doutorando Crodowaldo Pavan. O primeiro trabalho, contendo descrições e chaves para a classificação de 27 espécies brasileiras, foi publicado por Pavan e por mim mesmo nesse ano.
Desde então, Pavan, Brito da Cunha, Nacrus e Magalhães, do laboratório de São Paulo, descreveram muitas espécies adicionais. Recentemente, esse trabalho passou a ser desenvolvido também no Instituto de Pesquisas Genéticas do Rio de Janeiro, pelos Drs. Frota-Pessoa e Hans Burla, que foram introduzidos nesse tipo de trabalho no laboratório do professor Dreyfus.
Como era de se esperar, a fauna de Drosophila no Brasil mostrou-se imensamente rica – talvez a mais rica do mundo. A descrição dessa fauna está ainda longe de ser completada, mas está agora muito avançada. Logo se viu que várias das espécies brasileiras oferecem grandes oportunidades como material para estudos de genética e evolução. Com o auxílio fornecido pela Fundação Rockefeller ao laboratório do prof. Dreyfus, tornou-se possível em 1948 iniciar os estudos genéticos básicos sobre essa espécie.”
