I thought the video was pretty neat.  I personally think it is important to know more than one language.  This is because the way that the world is growing now and places people are traveling to, knowing just English is not going to be enough.  A lot of useful things in America, that we need to help fight things like cancer and other scientific things, were started from people who did not speak English.  I feel that we should accept what they offer to the table even though it may be in a different language because if you look at it from the outside in you realize how much we need what others have to offer.  There just has to be a way in order to translate what they have to say into English but just because they speak a different language, it should not be declined.  Science is very universal and no matter the language we should find a way to be able to share it because everyone can benefit from it.

For my person I chose Bernardo Aberto Houssay.  He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on April 10, 1887.  He was a scientist who won a Nobel Prize for his research of pituitary hormones in the regulation of blood sugar.  He was very smart and started college at age 14 and he received his M.D degree at age 23.  He founded the Institute of Physiology and also the Institute of Biogoly and Experimental Medicine.  One of his top discoveries dealth with the onset of diabetes, which has helped us now to truly understand what diabetes are and things that help maintain it.
