Biotechnology for Indonesia

I never think that I'll be back to Hua Hin after that long long story happen to me before during my internship before :') But, this case is quite special because I came to join Asia Leadership Course by Cornell Alliance for Science.

Someone said that if you have something bad and make you want do that anymore you must to make another memories to cover that bad memories. I did that for sure ! Now, I really love Hua Hin. Not because all of that facility and the life that I never imagine. I started to know more about Biotechnology Field in Indonesia and around South East Asia. I learn about Biotechnology and half of my university days always stayed in our laboratory. But, I never think about how the people in Indonesia think about that, I just thinking about myself and anything around me and another career and research. But, during that course I thought more about my country. I noticed something that in Indonesia we have a really big knowledge gap, that one of my long term mission to reach unreachable place in Indonesia and teach them, so they can help each other and will have their own better life for better future. I never think that I'll do something about my "BIOTECHNOLOGY" things for them. But, when I came back to Indonesia, I read a newspaper and said that we can't plant that paddy because of long summer, and we can't import a lot of corn but because of that issue their target to provide Indonesia Citizen won't be enough and because of that corn stuff the price of Chicken is quite high. 

When I saw that "Chicken" problem, I think about my thesis. IRIAP already do that research about 3 or 4 years ago but no one know about that. That can be the solution for that problem, we used that coconut meal or palm kernel meal & used our mannanase for poultry feed addition and that SAFE ! I really don't know how to communicated that "science information" for sure, but I think that will be nice if we used that BIOTECHNOLOGY as one of our solution for national problem. 

I am not that expert in that field, I just a fresh graduate from faculty of Biotechnology but I hope that IT WILL BE FROM INDONESIA TO INDONESIA :) 

This leadership course help me to organized everything on my mind and I hope I can do my best for my country with my knowledge.
