Computers are ubiquitous in modern life and this is the era of Big Data. Thus one of the challenges Puerto Rico faces as a society is to promote the new literacy of the 21st century: knowing how read, think and write in our native language, in English and in computer programming languages. This will not only result in cultural and economic benefits but it will help us be competitive in the global arena.

If Puerto Rico is going to have any chance of creating a biotechnology sector that creates quality research and independent-minded scientists for the island's biotech apparatus, the approach to research being conducted at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) must be revamped. That is where a former trustee of the Science, Technology & Research Trust, Mariano García-Blanco, is saying we have to eliminate the political ebb and flow that propitiates lack of continuity and affects the quality of research at the university.
