Person or expert you admire

There are no many persons I admire or persons that I really estimate as I could make some kind of list of "people I admire definitely". But there is a person about I read his biographyand and I really liked it, his name is Craig Venter. Venter is an biotechnologist, biochemist and geneticist known for being one of the first to sequence the human genome and the first to transfect a cell with synthetic genome, this last achievement is the one I admire because of its advanced and hard science implications although I actually read his book "A decoded life" about the human genome code but I check out about the synthetic genome.

Venter was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. In is youth, he did not take his edutacion seriously, preffering to spend his time on the water in boats or surfing. Although he was against the Vietnam War, Venter was drafted and enlisted in the United States Navy where he worked in the intensive-care ward of a field hospital. Being confronted with wounded, maimed, and dying people every day instilled in him a desire to study medicine (although he later switched to biomedical research).

Venter Began his college education at University of California, San Diego, where he studied under biochemist Natah O. Kaplan. He received a Bachelor of science in biochemistry in 1972 and PhD in physiology and pharmacology in 1975, both on the same University
