English Language challenges

 Hello, it's me again, today is going to be the last blog, but we should not be sad about that, so let's leave it in a big way, today I will tell you about the challenges that I have felt and will have for my next year regarding the study of this language. First of all, I feel that the English program at the university is well implemented and has been able to adapt to the online mode, with the latter I think it has benefited a lot, because through online classes, activities with audios are heard better, although there are also times that because of the connection these fail but they are usually few. Also mention that the use of blogs is something that I find great, since it allows students to express ourselves in a not so structured or formal way, but rather that we can make it more comfortable, and with this we increase our common language, since when writing About our tastes, studies or fantasies, we learn to express things that are easy in Spanish because we do it daily, but...

Changes to my study programme

 Hi, today I'm going to get straight to the point, and tell you about my study program and the changes I would make to it (if I had the chance obviously). In the biochemistry career, most of the subjects studied in the first 2 years are introductory or very general, because with this the university seeks to level and teach in the best way the sciences at a very general level, so that the more specific branches are not strange to students. This is something that I would not change because it is a part of the program that is fine, since teaching in a general way makes students of the 4 careers of the faculty share branches and can generate a community and there is not so much difference between careers, in addition to all these subjects have the same academic weight, In reality, there are some subjects that require more hours of study, either because of their difficulty or simply because the way of doing classes and evaluations is poorly implemented, or simply because they are the ty...

Time Travel: Past

Imagen
 We have all dreamed or thought about what the future would be like, what my house would look like in 1000 years, we have also thought about whether the past really was as history says. That's what I will talk about today, what I would like to observe if I had the power to travel in time. First of all I have never liked to know what the future would be like, because I feel that it takes the difficulty out of life, since we would know how everything would happen, and it would be pointless to do some things, because it will always end at the same point. But if I could travel in time I would like to travel more to the past, to see some historical facts, and check if they really happened as the books say. Mainly I would like to visit italy and france during the renaissance time and see how the catholic church lost that power of authority, because people finally put their thinking over a belief.  I would really like to stay during this time and meet great artists, like Da Vinci and...

My future job

Hi, it's me again, I really don't know how to start talking about this topic, because it's something that always changes when I think about it, so I will try to explain in the best possible way what I would like to work on. In the future, I would like to be working in an indoor protein crystallography lab, of which there are few labs in the world working in this field, which would mean working abroad and not moving from that place for a long time. I would also like to work talking about science to the world, doing science outdoors, and with this job it would be great to travel a lot, and teach science all over the world (who wouldn't like such a job). About the salary, I would give me the amount, since I work by vocation and not by necessity, if the salary is enough to live, I will be happy.  Finally, I would like to add that I would not like to be working in a university as a researcher or professor, if it is not in an area that I like to talk about and research, becau...

Pavoratona, a project that is marking my life

Imagen
 Well today I want to take this space to tell the story of pavoratona, the scientific divulgation project of which I am honored to be a member. This project started last year, being merely an idea created by Francisca and Andres, who formally are my "bosses" but in reality we are all friends. They proposed to carry out a scientific project in which the main objective was to teach science to young and old but with the main condition of highlighting the role of women in science. That is why the name of the project, "pavoratona" that comes from the ideal gas formula "PV=RnT", that students usually learn as "pavoraton" but we add a letter A at the end to give it that feminine phonetic. They presented their idea in a meeting of Aneb, where Sofia, another partner of the project, and I was as a listener, and in that same meeting, we both decided to be part of the project, some time later Pamela would join and after much effort we started the realization...

Crystallography, a technique used to understand biomolecules

Imagen
 hello everybody, since this week I have to talk to you about a free topic, I wanted to use this publication to talk about a study technique used in my professional career, and in fact I am talking about crystallography. This technique is normally used to understand the shape and properties of crystalline solids, these crystals are very common for us as they are normally used in jewelry, food, construction, among other uses. Understanding how these solids behave is achieved through different methodologies, such as X-Ray Diffraction and Cryoscopic Crystallography.  But how this technique, used to understand mostly inorganic solids, can be related to biochemistry? Well that is very interesting, since living beings are composed of cells, and these cells to form their structures use biomolecules, and it is in the latter where there is a specific type of molecule, which has caused many problems to scientists to study them, and I'm talking about proteins, as these are complex molecu...

The best concert of my life

Imagen
 hello everyone, today I am going to tell you about the best concert I have ever had the pleasure of attending. This Show was held on September 29, 2017, I was 16 years old, and in that concert were presented 2 of the most influential bands in the history of music, I'm talking about "The Who" and "Guns N' roses". What can I say about these bands that is not known, they were great influences for several generations, both for adults and children, "The Who" band that I started to listen to because they were who composed the song of a series that I saw a lot for those years, which was "CSI", and "Guns N' Roses" band I met thanks to a relative of mine who one day told me look listen to this guitar solo, and that was the first time I heard "Sweet Child O' Mine" and I can say that I was in love with this kind of music. The atmosphere in the monumental stadium that day was fantastic, it was to be surrounded by people w...
