Royal Palm valedictorian plans to study biochemistry – Palm Beach Post

MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR: Carlos Romagosa, 17

If there is one common theme among high school valedictorians, its the fact that, when they look back at their high school careers, they often find something they think they could improve upon.

Despite his 3.98 (5.33 weighted) GPA and the achievement of finishing high school ranked No. 1 in his class, Carlos Romagosa is no different.

I was doing it for the wrong reasons, Romagosa said of his quest to become valedictorian of Royal Palm Beach High. I should have been doing it because it was something that could make me a better student and better person. Instead, when I look back, I was just doing it because it was an academic achievement. I wanted to be No. 1 and that was it.

Regardless of the reasoning, Romagosas is an amazing achievement. Especially when you consider the only B that figured into his GPA was one he received before he began high school.

I had always wanted to take AP calculus so I thought Id take on online geometry class before my freshman year began, he said. That was my B. That taught me never to procrastinate.

Of course, he later took the geometry class in person and got an A.

Avoiding procrastination may have been the biggest life lesson that Romagosa took from high school. Applying himself to get work done turned out to be the key to his rising from No. 2 after his sophomore year to No. 1 when he graduated.

During his junior year, Romagosa took only Advanced Placement and Advanced International Certificate of Education courses as he pursued his quest to become valedictorian.

I just had to start taking my time on things. Take care with everything I do and do everything well. Challenge myself, he said. I really wouldnt change a thing. Everything that happened to me has molded me to be in this position. But I would tell students to try new things. Try things youre uncomfortable with as well.

World history taught him that lesson, Romagosa said. He took the class not thinking he would enjoy it, but it ended up being one of his favorite subjects in high school. So much so that, after his trip to the Dominican Republic later this summer, he has places like Africa and Europe on his radar as future destinations.

Romagosa will head to Florida International University, where he will pursue a degree in biochemistry. The hope is to soak up the culture Miami has to offer and finish college with the goal of working in a lab.

I want to study the cellular membrane, he said. See how we might be able to apply photosynthesis to other applications.

Q&A

What are your hobbies?

Reading, writing, I love the game of basketball. Im not good at it but I try to play it. I love watching it. My favorite team is the Golden State Warriors, but Im not a bandwagon fan, Ive been watching them since 2012.

What would you do if you were invisible for a day?

I would love to go into our government and learn all their secrets. Im just so curious. I want to know what theyre hiding from us. What are they keeping from us?

If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be?

This is kind of hard for me, so Im going to say its a tie between FDR and JFK. They were both so progressive, so ahead of their times. Especially FDR and how he could inspire hope in such a weak time in our history. And JFK, every time you see him in a debate, he just looked so lively and full of life.

What is the best advice you ever received?

Be yourself. Its short and sweet. I heard it a lot, but I think the first time it was from a manager at Chick-fil-A. He told me the most important advice is to be yourself. Dont get caught up with people.

What event in history would you have liked to have witnessed?

The rise of the Romans. They were such a dominant group of individuals. I like that when they conquered enemies, they learned their enemies strengths to make them stronger.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

Going to Disney World. There is nothing that beats that for the first time. I was 4 or 5, but I remember Mickey Mouse and all that. It was so cheerful and bright. Universal is exciting, but Disney has that special thing to it.

Who is your hero, someone who inspires you?

Hemingway. He struggled with all these mental breakdowns, but fought through it all and succeeded. For a period of time he pushed through it and excelled. He would write for hours and hours on end. Then he would go out and drink.

What is something most people dont know about you?

I think everyone views me as very serious, but I have a really good sense of humor. All my friends know. I mean, nerds can go crazy too!

What three things would you bring with you if you were stuck on a desert island?

A desalinization machine, a beach umbrella, and a book just to relax. Any book would work, but if I could list one, I would say The Old Man and the Sea, since Im stuck on an island and all.

How I Aced Biochemistry – PreMedLife – The Lifestyle Magazine for Pre-Medical Students

College hallways abound with rumors on the blood, sweat, and tears that accompany biochemistry. Mechanisms, pathways, enzymes Anxiety crept upon me after I signed up for the class and anticipated syllabus day until I stood up, determined, that I willsucceed biochemistry! I understand the heavy workload, tediousness, and specificity of the material, so I would like to share a handful tips on how I aced the class!

When we hear judgments, we could feasibly become influenced by their opinions and prejudge our experiences before we even set foot. I eventually decided to block out peoples opinions on the class, and focus on making the course my own experience. It is crucial to realize other peoples experiences do not determine yours. Further, avoid assuming the nature of the class. It may be boring, and on top of that, nearly impossible! I just hate memorizing pathways! Your attitude affects your performance. Perhaps, approach with a more open viewpoint of the class: It might be challenging, but Im open to learning about the underlying machinery of the human body. If you already find biochemistry intriguing, you are ahead of step one!

Some professors provide students with lecture notes online to print, as others do not. If your professor does not, recording the lecture could help tremendously to go back and listen to what you may have missed or to gain a more solid understanding. If the professor does provide online lecture notes, make sure to print them or download them onto your computer. I read over the lecture notes the same day of the class and quizzed myself over simple questions on the material on the notes. (Keep in mind: biochemistry includes application, critical thinking, and memorization, so your exam most likely may ask questions on a deeper level, but understanding the basics of the lecture is the point of quizzing yourself over the lecture notes). I divided the notes into sections and turned the stated lecture notes into questions to ask and quiz myself over. With this step, you will be familiar with what was covered in class.

A helpful way to perform on exams is to ask the professor if the lecture notes or textbook serve more as a basis for the exams. I studied lecture notes and read the textbook, regardless of when my professor stated the lecture notes were sufficient for the tests (reading the textbook chapters helped tremendously with the exams!) Not everybody prefers to read textbooks, or even needs the textbook for high performance, so this step depends on personal preference. As the material can be overwhelming, I divided my reading into paragraphs. I would read one paragraph once, read it again and highlight, then write my notes in my own words. Be sure to take breaks too!

You cannot go wrong with getting to know your professor! They could introduce you to resources that can help you, take time to elaborate concepts, and overall, help you along your academic journey. If you do not understand material, be sure to make time to visit your professors office hours with a list of things to ask. Emailing is a great option as well (if your professor checks it!); however, face-to-face interaction facilitates the ability to ask questions.

I am such a visual learner! It can be hard for me to visualize the chymotrypsin mechanism or the way translation works. Looking up these mechanisms on YouTube eased understanding of these concepts because I obtained a visual grasp on how they work.

My professor provided us with practice exams for the class; however, if your professor does not, worry not! I sometimes chose not to go with the exams the professor offered and googled biochemistry practice exams for a particular set of topics. It obviously will most likely not resemble your exams difficulty, application style, etc., but it will help train you to apply your knowledge, rather than soak up everything you have learned without using it. Be sure to practice those math problems too!

I have disappointed myself a few times throughout the class, and overall, my college experience. It happens! We are human. Breathe. What matters is your attitude, which drives the recovery. If you did not get the grade you expected, contact the professor, let him/her aware of your concern and what you can do to perform better next time, go over the exam, go over practice problems, etc. At the end of the day, you are taking a challenging class and are willing to succeed! Give yourself credit for the amazing effort you are putting in! Believe in yourself!

Fat Metabolism in Live Fish: Real-Time Lipid Biochemistry Observed – Technology Networks

This is a live image of the liver of a translucent, larval zebrafish. It was taken using confocal microscopy, which allows for clear images of the internal organs of a whole live animal. Quinlivan fed a fluorescently tagged fatty acid to a larval zebrafish and then photographed its liver at 400x magnification. The round dots of varying sizes are lipid droplets, which contain a kind of fat called triglyceride. These triglycerides were constructed using the fluorescent fat consumed by the larval zebrafish. Fluorescence also shows up in the gallbladder (GB) and developing kidney (K). Credit: Vanessa Quinlivan

Studying how our bodies metabolize lipids such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol can teach us about cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health problems, as well as reveal basic cellular functions. But the process of studying what happens to lipids after being consumed has been both technologically difficult and expensive to accomplish until now.

New work from Carnegies Steven Farber and his graduate student Vanessa Quinlivan debuts a method using fluorescent tagging to visualize and help measure lipids in real time as they are metabolized by living fish. Their work is published by the Journal of Lipid Research.

Lipids play a vital role in cellular function, because they form the membranes that surround each cell and many of the structures inside of it, Quinlivan said. They are also part of the crucial makeup of hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, which transmit messages between cells.

Unlike proteins, the recipes for different lipid-containing molecules are not precisely encoded by DNA sequences. A cell may receive a genetic signal to build a lipid for a certain cellular purpose, but the exact type may not be indicated with a high degree of specificity.

Instead, lipid molecules are built from an array of building blocks whose combinations can change depending on the type of food we eat. However, lipid compositions vary between cells and cellular structures within the same organism, so diet isnt the only factor determining which lipids are manufactured.

Understanding the balancing act in what makes up our bodies lipidsbetween availability based on what were eating and genetic guidanceis very important to cell biologists, Farber explained. There is growing evidence that these differences can affect wide arrays of cellular processes.

For example, omega-3 fatty acids, which are lipid building blocks found in foods like salmon and walnuts, are known to be especially good for heart and liver health. There is evidence that when people eat omega-3 fatty acids, the cellular membranes into which they are incorporated are less likely to overreact to signals from the immune system than membranes comprised of other kinds of lipids. This has an anti-inflammatory effect that could prevent heart or liver disease.

Farber and Quinlivans method allowed them to delve into these kinds of connections. They were able to tag different kinds of lipids, feed them to live zebrafish, and then watch what the fish did with them.

If we fed the fish a specific type of fat, our technique allowed us to determine into what molecules these lipids were reassembled after they were broken down in the small intestine and in which organs and cells these molecules ended up, Farber explained.

The tags they used were fluorescent. So Farber and Quinlivan and their team were actually able to see the fats that they fed their zebrafish glowing under the microscope as they were broken down and reassembled into new molecules in different organs. Further experiments allowed them to learn into what types of molecules the broken down fat components were incorporated.

Being able to do microscopy and biochemistry in the same experiment made it easier to understand the biological meaning of our results, Quinlivan said. We hope our method will allow us to make further breakthroughs in lipid biochemistry going forward.

The other members of the team were Carnegies Meredith Wilson, and Josef Ruzicka of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
