"dieguito. That's me. That's what people close to me used to call me, that's how they always did it, and they still do. And quite rightly... I'm still dieguito, and more: calm, quiet, shy, curious, visionary, loves to investigate, hungry for knowledge, looks for and loves challenges, loves to solve problems... Anyways, a scientist."
