Sohil Bhatia (IGerm) 'Two-faced'

Hello/Namaste unicellular and multi cellular organisms. This is Sohil Bhatia, a 19 year old art student from Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore, India. Currently in the second year of college and indulging myself in different fields from art, design and theatre to microbiology.

No wonder my friends call me two faced. Here I am with my second side i.e.science, not too bright but still flickering . I have always been interested in science especially biology but was more inclined towards art so landed up in a design school. It’s been one whole year since I have been off science and surprisingly, even after my horrible scores in 11th and 12th grade, it does not seem like an alien language.





DAY ONE - TWENTY FOURTH MAY TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN



Like I had assumed, the class began with a discussion on what we were on for. Gradually, it grew to some basic learning and research about synthetic biology, DNA, genes, cells et cetera, to wake up the brain cells that’d been off theoretical knowledge for a while. To make the learning part fun, I resorted to interactive cell and DNA models and playing quizzes on the internet. I also looked up some videos that explained with diagrams to make it easier for me to apprehend. I also came across a very well designed ‘drag and drop the cell part’ game.

Later in the day we talked about existence of life that is formless. The rest of the time was spent thinking of a new form of life. These were the ideas I came up with.

1) A living organism that eats the waste protein from the human body resulting in less hair growth.

2) A bacteria that lives on human skin and eats up all the waste excreted there i.e. oil, sweat and salts for it’s survival.
