Worms

    In general I like all the animals, except the worms. I never liked it's shape or the way they move, when I see them it gives me "something". There are a lot of types of worms: leeches, earthworms, taenias, maggots, riftias, grubs, flatworms, etc.
Slimy yet satisfying

    I don't eat raw meat because I don't want to have parasitic worms. Other of my fears is that one day we will have to survive eating worms, I have heard that its taste is like chicken (and I like chicken).
    Once I asked for a caesar salad in a restaurant, and while I was eating I found a caterpillar moving between the lettuce, so they served me again and they gave me a dessert as a gift.
    While I was studying in the first semester I read a lot about worms, and now I have more respect for them, because they are very successful animals, they just need to move a little (some are sessile) and eat what they find, all the waste and bodies they can eat it, they are really necessary for this world.
It's high in proteins

Endoplanet

    I took this photo in the histology lab a few weeks ago, in those labs I take a lot of photos because is difficult to focus the camera on the ocular of the microscope. My phone doesn't have much resolution, but my classmates will know that it is a pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium that is placed in the respiratory tract. I like it because it seems like an undiscovered planet, but is just cells in an animal body, that shadow in the edge makes it look like a tridimensional form. I like that all in the universe has similarities in the forms and organization of the elements that are in, but in different scales, for example I have seen big stellar clusters that seems nervous cells, I believe that is wonderful and beautiful these similarities, like if all the universe was an unique form of life. Well, that was too much rambling for today.
