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

 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...
