Post 8: A subject you enjoyed studying

Imagen
Well that is a difficult question because I don't have any favorite subject at this moment :C  But at the beggining of this semester I was exited about inorganic chemistry.  In Inorganic we study all the periodic table that means we study each element of every group. compounds, propeties, and more.  I enjoy some classes when the teacher show us propeties of groups that we didn't study when we were at school. like the innert gasses they can make some molecules with some halogeno and create interesting propeties. also there is a lot of dangerous compounds by some element of the 17 group.  I thought it will be more fun hahaha, the classes are more like read the power point and I can do that in less time... :C  Now i hope to learn about solid state and cristallography this year, that knowlege is the principal reason because i stay in Chemistry until now... i want to become a material chemist or cristallography chemist and learn more about propeties of the mater.

MARIO MOLINA  Chemistry nobel (1995)   When I was in “Cuarto Medio” my chemistry teacher took us to meet Mario Molina the Chemistry nobel of 1995. My teacher was brother of a chemistry ingenieer so the brother with his investigation team of sweden were friend of Molina so as my teacher. Well the goberment of chile specifictly the transport minister they welcome the nobel, the investigation team and small groups of students of public schools. I had the oportunity to meet all that people, the nobel was an old man from mexico he was humble, not like my teacher's brother who was a table vase. Mario responds all our questions as school students in a very calm, humble way without belittling us. He was a cool man. Was. Because he died last year in october. I was very sad when i read the newspaper that day.  But why mario Molina was and “IS” important until now? Well he discovered that polluting gases have a destructive effect on the  atmosfer, without decomposing. He was part of the pione

Post 6: How can your mayor make the world a better place?

When we are young all the people make the sames questions to us, what we want to study but there is another question very important with ambition. What can you do to change the world? That is the question that makes us sleeplessness at the night.   I always wanted to create something to help the envioremnt. ALWAYS. You just need a plan. So i decide to become a scientist, a chemist. We know that chemistry is everywere, like in the air we breathe, the water we drink or the computer we chat. Chemistry is everywere. So as a future chemist we can create new forms and process to recycle garbage, clean the water, the air, create new materials, medicine. I always seen me being a protagonist with a team innovating with our company to help the world to be clean and healthy.  Chemistry have the knowlege to be "god" if you want. We have maths, physics, biology, and a lot of sub-diciplines. If we understand chemistry and we use it correctly we can do wathever we want in terms of science.

Post 5: A photo and its story

This photo it means to me tenderness and devotion by the Puma´s cub. I like this photo because the Puma Concolor Concolor it is my favorite animal, they are so beautiful, big and chubby, besides their animal instint they have a soft side as the naivety of the cubs and Mother's Love.  Well this photo it was taken by other person but I think that the mother puma is watching her next prey while her cub is marvels at the grandeur of his mother with love and softness.

Post 4: A meal or food you really like

Imagen
A food that I really adore when I'm really hungry at night after a long day of study are fries with a cheddar cheese sauce, ground beef, and chives. called texan fries.  I guess it cooks like any kind of "salchipapa" It is not good for your health to eat them, since they are fried and they have artificial sauces. It can increase your cholesterol, get acne and gain weight. Even so, eating it once a month doesn't hurt, I think. that only happens to me when I eat it many times a week.

Post 3: My Favorite Piece of Technology

Imagen
  Oh I like this question, I will say I have two favorite pieces of technology. I searched on the internet and technology can be material and intangible. So my material technology is my tablet Wacom Intuos 5 because I can do everything I imagine is like being a hacker what I want to say is that I can edit, draw, write, falsify, and photo edit or modeling everything I want.  My Wacom tablet is like a drawing pad with a special pencil, I usually take notes of the classes in word or power point also in my free time I draw illustrations in photoshop.  My tablet has affected my life a lot because since I was 12 years old i have had this tablet so I started in a very young age to improve my art and being somedays witty with some homerwork.  YES If you like to draw, design, edit photographs, animate or just take notes for the university  is very good option.  My intangible piece of technology are the book databases, like libgen.is or Zlibrary and also amazon haha, why? Because if I want to re

Post 2: Why did I choose my major?

When I was a child I always imagined me being a chef in a big restaurant, in that time I loved to play with my cousins ​​to the restaurant in Valparaiso. then when i was a teenager I dreamed to have a biotechnologist company to create new solutions to the environment. At the beginning I wanted to become a biotechnologist then i realize that there is not so much labor options in chile. then i thought being a biologist, then a marine biologist, then a doctor, then medical technologist and finally I decide to become a pharmacist but my score wasn't so hight in the PSU so i enter to chemistry at the university of chile. My experience at this time is very variated. At the beginning was fun but then with some personal problems it become hard and paintful. Now i'm happy studying chemistry. Also I met new people and different realities. I think that is very good to grow up as a person. For the moment i'm not sure, studying chemistry is a new whole world very different as pharmacy,

Post 1: Who i am

  Hello mi name is Daniela Sepúlveda i'm from Santiago Chile i was born in las condes... but all my life i have lived in Maipú, i think that is kinda funny.  So... about myself, i'm 20 years old now i'm studying Chemistry at the university of chile.  Last year i was diagnosed with severe depression so my 2020 wasn't a nice year. But i learn that mental health is important and is not your fault for being depressed as many people think . with my phycologist i learn a lot about feminism and the sexism around me so i started to read literature to be someone more cultured like "feminism is for everybody" by bell hooks and now i'm going to start a "cyborg manifesto" by Haraway to never again be in an abusive relationship.  also i like to draw and take pictures of minerals in my microscope. watch funny videos on youtube and investigate new things in the internet like... a book that hasn't been sold since 1960 and i'm going to find it and buying

Trying something different

So our teacher give us an optional activity, answer some questions about ourselves. In this blog i will upload my homework and maybe if the teacher allow it i will share some personal writing about sciences. Do you like English? Yes/No Why? Well it is a long history but today i love it. You are asking why? well when i was a young hormonal teenager in highschool i discovered the famous broadway musical called "Hamilton", in that time i didn't liked to much english due to i had had bad experiences in that subject when i was a child. When i started to listening Lin Miranda's songs of the broadway show i didn't understand anything, it was all new for me but the rhythm was pretty awesome so i started to listening them and then i started so sing them and that was fantastic because the songs were very fast like a rap so i think that my pronunciation got better. In that time i was 16 years old and all my group of friends or the majority also liked the Miranda's son
