A bit about myself

in #introduceyourself5 years ago

Hello. I'm just getting started on Steemit, so I decided to drop some lines here to introduce myself.

My name is Jesús Cedeño, and I live in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela. I am a medical doctor, with a master's degree in diabetology. I am also a professor at the local university, teaching Biochemistry for almost 18 years, as well as courses in statistical analysis for health sciences for the past two years.

I am an enthusiastic admirer of orchids and amateur (although quite serious) photographer and cook, having graduated from culinary school in 2014.

Welcome to Steem, there are other educators on Steem as well in Venezuela. @lanzjoseg is a long time follower of mine, and I believe him and his wife are professors.

Love your into biochemistry, I have many questions for you about how infrared light interacts with plants known as the infrared wood effect. I find it fascinating that healthy plants can reflect infrared away (and green) using its chemicals inside the leaves.

And your cooking looks great, my partner and I make healthy food for ourselves. As we cannot find packaged foods without alot of preservatives. So we must make our own to take good care of our bodies. My favorite are cacao bars I made by melting cacao butter and mixing in roasted nuts and millet.

Hi. Thank you for your kind words. I am now following @lanzjoseg as well. I don't follow many people or have many followers yet, as I am still quite new here on Steemit.

Glad you like my cooking. I'll surely be sharing some more recipes I've developed.

I also find the ability of plants to reflect infrared radiation fascinating. However, as my expertise is in medical biochemistry, I haven't read that much about the biochemistry of that effect (I will now, though!). However, I HAVE used that effect as a photographer, having done some nice IR photos every once in a while.

Wow! Thank you so much! I feel honored.

I respect your courage to introduce yourself with that pic. Welcome on Steem. Is live in Venezuela as bad as the media portrays it?

Well, I guess that would depend on how your media portrays it. But it is very, very difficult here.
