Javier Sampedro (Madrid, 1960) has a PhD in genetics and molecular biology and for ten years was devoted to basic research, including a stay of three years as a postdoctoral researcher in the temple of these disciplines, the mythical Laboratory of Molecular Biology Medical Research Council in Cambridge (UK). He is currently a journalist for the newspaper El País. "In the Spanish media landscape ', Morata writes," it is hard to imagine anyone more prepared to explain the old and new facts of biology that Javier Sampedro. He was a brilliant scientist (probably is the only journalist in the world who has published an article in Nature), and perfectly knows the language and the rules of science.
