Second visit to the CRAG in wich I have been showed the whole CRAG center, having Montse Martin as my guide. I have taken my first contact with this enormous agrifood investigation center, visiting the greenhouse, the laboratory, the PCR room, etc. and seeing almost all the machinery used in this cradle of agrifood investigations to carry out all types of necessary processes to study this branch of plant research.

Second meeting about my research wark called playing as god in which me and Xavier Valbuena have talked about how to express in my blog, and how must seem all like, as there must be some matching between my work, and the design of the blog. That's why we made a brainstorming to come up with some ideas to have a really good design.

Third visit to the CRAG and first experience alive, in which I have been involved in the CMV inoculations at Cucummis melo. A really informative and interesting expirience which I have learnt the difference between how a virus is inocuated to humans, and how it is done in plants.

Third meeting about my research work with my tutor Xavier Valbuena, in which we have talked about what I have to do to have a more attractive blog, in order to attract human eye. It is important to catch peoples attention as hence you can make a lot of people get interested in researching work being done at the moment.
