Biodata



Valter Martins do Vale was a famous biotecnologist who graduated from the superior Escola Agraria De Coimbra in 2018. Along the years, he gained various skills and knowledge which resulted in a specialization on programing and advanced bioengineering. With new tools in his disposal, ideas and concepts start to flow in his mind. He started his career in a research lab, were later was invited to work in a private company in America. Later, he achieved merit and recognition on robotics and nanotecnologie.
In a side project Valter was the first to create the first real “smart-car” and to found a field were many students and interested people could work and gain worth in the scientific world, working on the first “self-ware” computer based on bionanochips, technology that was far ahead to his time.
Still to young to receive a Nobel Prize, his modest ways prevent him from doing so. But still, many ways are there so that anyone with access to the internet or a library could see the path that he created, so that other ones could progress and develop far and beyond.
So far, much is still under developing but we own far gratitude to him, showing that one man can truly make a difference.

Once Upon a time … Nothing happened



It was a day like any other. In fact it was so extremely like any other that it became weird. Afterwards, everyone agreed it had been the most unlikely day in the history of mankind.
It was the day nothing extraordinary happened. The ongoing wars didn’t have any significant battles. It was a day without terrorist attacks or murders. No floods or earthquakes occurred. Nobody famous died or gave birth or even announced a pregnancy. There were no royal weddings. No Hollywood romances or breaks-ups. A day without demonstrations strikes or riots. It was a boring day for Wall street and consorts. NASA didn’t launch anything, no scientific breakthroughs were made and no new gadgets were released.
No popstars were caught on camera showing their genitalia in public, no famous band released a new album and no long awaited movie had its theatrical release.
No spokesman of any religion said something stupid to upset the rest. Nobody claimed to have seen a UFO.
It was a day without news.
People didn’t notice at first, because all the news in newspapers had happened the day before. It became clear when the new day was a few hours old. No websites found anything new to publish. There was only news to gather. After the buzz about yesterday’s news had passed. Twitter became awkwardly silent. Only insignificant personal stories were shared by users of social media.
Press Agencies awaited incoming copy from journalist around the world, but they really had nothing to report about.
And then it started… people were wondering what was happening. Was it a glitch in the Matrix? Was God on a break? Was it the silence before the storm? The Apocalypse?
Some even tried to have their 15 minutes of fame, but none succeeded, because for some reason their actions were only discovered a day later. Nobody was interested in these attention seekers anyway because… well… this was the day nothing happened!
When the evening news came on, it was the most watched show in the history of television, although it had only one item. Why did nothing happen today?
When the first time zone was reaching midnight, people sat together holding hands in fear of what might come. But nothing happened, as it had been the habit all day. The day just gave birth to books, movies and cults.
“The day without news” became the most talked about event in history.
For some though, something DID happen that day. Because in a day without news. They started noticing what was going on in their lives.

Applying, and trying to do erasmus



Looking for a 6 month internship from Feb 2013
I am a 18 years student at the University Agraria of Coimbra in Portugal studying Biotechnology. I have the opportunity to take a work placement for the third year of my course. The placement can be up to 6 months long between February 2016 and September 2017. I am writing to enquire if your company is offering any placement opportunities.
I’m quit anxious to think of being able to see how others manage things and how the culture influences the development of the country, as well it’s technologies. I find it very rewarding to discover and experience first hand on how it is to have a schedule and to be far from our family, because it gives us the tools and preparation to enter the working market.
Apart from being very rewarding to have the experience to study abroad, that fills the CV and turns us to a more interesting person, with more culture and knowledgeable. Opens up more options that we can imagine.
Related to my course, it gives me a huge help to see what other works are being conducted and investigated, how scientists and investigators relate their work in other to create or discover something new that can one day bring the answer to all of other problems. The future is in our reach, we just have to grab it.
With that being said I look forward to hearing from you
Sincerely
Valter Vale

Dear Mr. Clarkson
My name is Valter Vale, a 18 year old fresh adult that had just finish his degree in biotechnologies and that is looking for a starting job that could give the experience necessary to launch my future career in the field I’m looking for.
The specific reason to explain my interest in this automobilist field is connected to my early relation created between me and cars, and how they work from the inside. Thanks to the course I’ve taken, now I’m capable to studies, explore and try to extend the limitations that cars now a days have, by applying advanced technical processes to create intelligent and more reliable, economical cars.
From my background, like I said previously, I don’t much experience, but in other ways, a fresh curios mind can be a good influence to the working area, creating a more healthy and competitive environment between the co-works.
Apart from that, during my school years I gather a lot of experience and the tools necessaries to be more than a asset to the business the gentle man is running here, and furthermore I’m Portuguese, and the Portuguese people are bread to be capable to get out and get done anything in short notice with minimal time and funds available, which is always good to have in any company.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely.
Valter Vale ,
BSc in Biotecnologie
