An interesting history fact of Iquique (place of the Congress this year)
Dear, remember that from July 15, 2018 closes registration upload summaries to the Congress of the society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Chile,https://www.sbbmch.cl/?
It is interesting to mention that in Iquique was where began to remove the giant squid)Dosidicus gigas) for scientific studies (on behalf of Professor Francis O. Schmitt, with whom the Professor Mario Luxoro did his PhD at MIT). This squid later was essential for the development of the Latin American neuroscience through the implementation that made Dr. Mario Luxoro to measure them electrical currents to the giant axons that they got them.
The story of how it came Francis O. Schmitt to Iquique and a description of that city in 1956 can be found in the book "The never-ceasing search" Francis O. Schmitt
