Open Letter to Yonsei Uni: Why an Honoris Causa to Ivan Duque?

"The thruth will make you free" - Yonsei University cc. to International Affairs Team:  ipartners@yonsei.ac.kr In this entry, I want to make an open letter to Yonei University, to highly and hardly criticize their decision to give an Honoris Causa Ph.D. to Ivan Duque, current president of Colombia. The reason why I think this is a wrong move from such prestigious University is because of the very low academic background of the candidate, and the highly questioned and contribution to the Colombian Economy. This candidate does not have ANY novel Theory of Economics whatsoever ( https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=RqZvxzUAAAAJ&hl=es ). The infamous "Economia Naranja" is just a bad wording to refer to the same classic Liberal Economics. The highest cited of his works looks more like a company brochure than a book! Do the members of this University think that this is a major achievement in the history of Economics? I hardly believe so. Yonei University explain...

Mi propuesta para una Democracia Digital Directa en Colombia

Por un país con mas igualdad de oportunidades, unámonos! Durante estos años de estudio en este maravilloso país que me acoge, lejos de mi familia y en plena pandemia, he tenido la fortuna de ver a Colombia desde 20 mil pies de altura. He sido capaz de, después de 6 años de fructífero trabajo de Doctorado, analizar como el país ha tristemente involucionado hacia un caos que lo aposenta en deshonrosos puestos a nivel mundial , a nombrar: - 98/198 en indice de corrupción percibida  - Pais con mayor indice de terrorismo en todo el continente americano (19 en el mundo ) - Pais mas desigual del mundo después de Haití y Angola. Tuve la fortuna de trabajar con el Institute of Economics and Peace en Sydney, y encontré algo que me llamó la atención. Hay una correlación estadística inversa entre los índices de paz y los de corrupción , i.e. entre mas corrupción haya en un Gobierno, mas violenta se torna la situación social del país en cuestión ( https://www.economicsandpeace.org/wp-conten...

My COVID-19 jupyter notebook

Over the last few weeks I have been working on the understanding of the COVID-19 genome. As a Computer Scientist, I was able to work out a way to compare genome sequences and this post is the result of my comparison. I needs way much more understanding that is way beyond my knowledge, and I am sharing this unfinished work for anyone interested in the topic that can give a hand on understanding genomic similarities, field which is not my expertise. First of all, let me explain what was the idea: originally coming from Kaggle call of arms, we want to understand how the virus evolved into human contagion, and the best way to start is from analysing the genomic sequences. I started taking the genomes published in GenBank. I decided to make the following strategy: 1. Download the FASTA files found on GenBank of:         - COVID-19 from Wuhan         - SARS found in bats         - COVID-19 reported in Spain     ...
