Así como a nuestros niños les enseñamos que hay tantas palabras como colores, la respuesta a las deficiencias nutricionales de África no vendrá dada por un “súper alimento”. Pero sí en la diversidad de estos. La desnutrición caracterizada por deficiencia calórica, proteica y energética puede ser resuelta incentivando la agricultura de policultivos de alimentos ricos en macro y micronutrientes, especialmente en las áreas urbanas.

Earthquake in Puerto Rico
Ruins from Puerto Rico's earthquake in 1918.

Two months ago we received 2010 with the news that neighboring Haiti was struck with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Not recovered from Haiti’s situation, in the last days of February, Chile also experiences an earthquake; this time an 8.8 one and nowadays they are still getting aftershocks. After all these events have you ever asked yourself what causes an earthquake? Can Puerto Rico be struck by an earthquake? Fortunately, the answers to all these questions and the science behind earthquakes are the focus of the research of geologists like Dr. Daniel Laó Dávila and the Puerto Rico Seismic Network.
